Hello all!
Sorry if this post is similar to discussions already had, I’ve read through everything and couldn’t quite find the info I was looking for.
I’m looking to upgrade from my KEF LS50 speakers that I’ve owned for about 6 years.
I’m currently running them with an Arcam A49, and am looking to upgrade them this spring.
Originally, I was planning on upgrading to some used Ref 1s, but with the introduction of the meta material I’m a bit unsure of what to do now.
Does anyone have any experience comparing the Ref 1s to LS50 Metas with matching subs (such as KC62)? How do they compare?
On the other hand, I can’t imagine that KEF won’t be releasing new products with the meta material within the year… but information has been scarce even when I ask around at dealers.
I heard whispering of a floor standing speaker inspired by the LS50, making use of all their new technical advancements, an ‘LS60’ so to speak… has anyone heard anything better than vague possibilities?
I also know that the reference line is due for an upgrade anytime now as it’s their oldest line. I could see them adding the meta material to the reference line in the next year? Again, does anyone have any info on this?
TLDR:
Has anyone compared the Reference 1 to LS50 Meta with subs? Also, does any one have any info on upcoming KEF releases? Particularly new Reference line or ‘LS60’?
