Ever since the KEF LS50s came barreling into our lives – ever since we saw the concept artwork, attended their earlier demos, acquired some for our showroom – we have been a little bit in love. These delightfully compact bookshelves have served as a lesson in what you can do with a very small cabinet – and great deal of expertise.
The LS50’s served as a way for KEF to preview the jaw dropping technology that would be featured on their latest (The) Reference series, while still leaving enough veiled. The critics and the punters liked what they saw (and heard, of course) and the excitement hasn’t faded. IF anything, they are more highly sought after now than they were upon their release, owed in part to an endless flurry of testimonials.
The Uni-Q drivers have featured on KEF’s The Reference range – but they were on the LS50s first!
Would you like to have a pair of these yourself… but you’re still on the face? Don’t just take it from us (or the critics) lets see what our customers had to say about these glorious little speakers and let the testimonials do our work for us…
“Just got mine today, they’re absolutely beautiful, so well made and finished, this is before I even heard them. Sound glorious, so smooth and tight, I use Chord Epic.” ~ Matt

“Very impressed with the KEF LS50. Very solidly built, and clearly a lot of attention has gone into the new Uni-Q drivers, as they sound incredibly accurate. Also listened to the R100 when trying the LS50 which, although no slouch, is eclipsed by the accuracy and soundstage of the LS50. The bass performance in particular is incredible for a speaker of its size. Personally, think the LS50 would still be a five star product at double the price. A great product from a great british manufacturer. 10/10!” ~ Nick

“Good-looking equipment, solidly-built, which has rejuvenated my hi-fi system. The sound quality (and bass reproduction) are fantastic.I am now listening to my music collection again in much greater detail. Highly recommended!” ~ J

“It’s not without good reason these little speakers have received rave reviews around the world. First impressions, even before you open the box, are that you’re in for something special… they weigh a ton! Build quality is second to none… these definitely aren’t budget speakers, everything from the fit and finish, to the quality of the components such as binding posts is truly superlative.” ~ Stephen

“The design and the components have made these incredibly good. I have owned many hi end speakers and have never been as impressed as I am with these. For the money and even way beyond, there is nothing better.” ~ Jason
You may think this is high praise indeed – but if we’re honest, even those rave reviews don’t do these speakers justice. If they fit their budget, they’re worth at least a listen. If you’re interested in doing that, give us a shout. We have a pair in both finishes, wired up and ready to impress you. And we love them that much, we doubt they’re going anywhere anytime soon!
