We’ve always been big fans of KEF’s iconic LS50 bookshelf speakers, being particularly impressed with their innate transparency and extensive but focused stereo image. The British brand released a new version of its Award-winning standmounters in 2020, and we were thrilled during our tests to find that an already excellent speaker had been made even better.

While the essential character of the speakers is familiar, the KEF LS50 Meta provide a greater level of clarity and finesse than the originals could muster. They sound cleaner and more sophisticated than their predecessors, especially in the higher frequencies where their insight and refinement shine with the greatest sparkle.

Delivering music with authority and handling large-scale dynamics extremely well, these speakers offer an impressive amount of muscle for their size.

If you're looking for a new pair of standmount speakers and your budget can stretch to the KEFs, for £899 they're the best performers you'll find at this price. Head over to Sevenoaks and get them for their best-ever price with a free Rewards Membership, or get them for a non-member price of £999.
