"The LS50 resolves beautifully and matches this with tonal accuracy and cohesion that is truly outstanding but just as importantly, it does all this with a sense of energy life and sheer entertainment that is quite its own." (Visit the AV Forums for full review)

"…the KEF is a snappy thing to listen to. Music bounces along with heady abandon, and so do you!"

"The terrific KEF LS50 standmounters show no sign of losing their sparkle after dazzling our readers for a second successive year."

"It is rare to find a loudspeaker that offers this combination of clarity and neutrality"

"Our readers love the LS50s, and so do we. It's a cracking speaker"

"A brilliant achievement - the LS50s look and sound gorgeous"

"The KEF LS50 is one of the most all-around-satisfying little speakers I've reviewed in some time. Construction and execution are exemplary. It delivers the kind of performance that deserves to be on a Wheaties box. And there’s an incalculable coolness factor that makes it a breath of fresh air. The LS50 also answers the classic question, 'Who says you can’t teach an old box new tricks?'"

"The LS50 is nothing short of a masterpiece of a minimonitor, priced so that anyone serious about audio can buy a pair -- and probably should, if only to know how great a small speaker can be. Time hasn’t been as much on my side as it’s been on KEF's -- the LS50 is one of their best speakers yet, and one of their best values; it’s proof that, as it ages, this company seems to get better and better."

 

"The KEF LS50s have set a ridiculously high benchmark and it is going to take a superhuman effort to top them."

"Overall, LS50 can be said quite comprehensive in the performance of music, especially the performance of overwhelming classical music..."

 

 

"We're impressed by the speaker's seamless integration, as we are by the way it sets up a huge stereo image populated by securely focused sounds…most importantly these speakers are fun to listen to."

"as emblematic as the LS3/5a...no doubt that they are a matchless model for less than 1000€, as they appear to be a new standard of appreciation of a real stereo image."
