Nothing at this price
Dependent on decent partnering equipment

One of the best sounding loudspeakers you can buy, Absurdly inexpensive considering its performance, Gorgeous design and build quality, Works well with both music and movies, Easy to setup and position, Can be driven by a 50 W/channel amplifier and sound
Can't purchase just one for a center channel, Will make you want to upgrade every other component to hear what they are capable of, Need good ("expensive") stands for best results
It's not very often that a $1,500 pair of loudspeakers shakes up an entire product category and can hold its own against products that are four times the price, but the KEF LS50 does just that. Solid engineering, gorgeous design, and excellent sound q...
Abstract: The tale's been told many times: Back in the early 1970s, the British Broadcasting Corporation needed a small nearfield monitor for use in remote-broadcast trucks. A team led by T. Sommerville and D.E. Shorter, both of the BBC's Research Department, ...

Will the KEF LS50 live up to the revered LS3/5A's legendary excellence? Has it fulfilled the aspirations of both the domestic and professional sectors? I asked myself these questions and in my opinion the LS50 certainly has the sonic fortitude to excel in...
Abstract: Born out of a collaboration between Porsche Design and KEF are three mass-consumer products – the Gravity One portable Bluetooth Speaker, the Space One Noise-Cancelling Headphones and the Motion One sweat-resistant earbuds. But at this special media pow-w...
Abstract: KEF's LS50 series of passive bookshelf speakers made waves when they were released back in 2012, gathering rave reviews for having large sound despite their small size. The performance across the audio spectrum was also highly rated, with the one knock be...
Précision chirurgicale, digne des meilleures enceintes de studio, Sonorité ronde et ample, digne des meilleures enceintes hi-fi, Transparence absolue de la restitution, Réactivité et dynamique affolantes, Réalisme de l'image sonore, Réglages de correction
Textures légèrement moins bien définies dans les graves, Quelques instabilités de l'appli mobile sous iOS, Pas (encore) de compatibilité native avec les services de streaming musical, Pour des enceintes "Wireless", elles traînent beaucoup de câbles
On ne sait que dire pour faire honneur aux prestations sonores des LS50 Wireless de KEF, qui nous proposent très simplement le meilleur de deux mondes. De leurs racines studio, elles héritent d'une précision diabolique et d'une réactivité à toute épreuve...
Abstract: Les enceintes de monitoring LS50 de KEF, que nous ne désespérons pas de tester un jour, entrent dans cette récente catégorie "mini-dimensions, maxi-performances". Et pour sortir des sacro-saintes couleurs du monde pro (noir... ou blanc, quand on se lâche...
Wer hätte das gedacht: Eine kleine Scheibe, die den unerwünschten rückwärtigen Schall des Hochtöners schluckt, sorgt bei der Wiedergabe für einen deutlichen Zugewinn an Klarheit und Definition, Griffigkeit und Plastizität – und ermöglicht eine noch entspa...
