  Fantastic sound quality and build quality, support for all the essential inputs and streaming services you need, easy setup and integration into a home without extra boxes.

Wow. Just Wow. Audio tech just continues to move forward, and here we are in 2017 with a myriad of new tech waiting for us audio nuts to try.

KEF made theLS50minispeaker for lots of reasons. It’s a celebration of the company’s 50thanniversary. It’s the first affordable application of the technology developed for the $29,999/pairBlade.

It is rare to find a loudspeaker that offers this combination of clarity and neutrality. For KEF's LS50 Anniversary Model to do so for a penny under $1500/pair makes it even more remarkable.

• +

• -

  App isn't as responsive as it could be, Can't control physical inputs via the app

After a short break-in period, I am thrilled by the performance of these speakers. They are in a nearfield listening installation and for that purpose they are ideal. Imaging and soundstage are nothing short of spectacular.

• +

  Male and female vocals are tonally correct and have the proper drive and air about them. Acoustic instruments such as violins, cellos, and guitars are accurately reproduced.

• -

  They required some serious wattage to sound their best. Don't pair these with a wimpy amplifier. System matching is critical. Plays well with tubes, not so much with most Class D or any bright sounding amplifier.

Everything I had hoped for and more. Got them on sale but having spent time with them would happily pay full price. Revealing, huge presence, amazing bass response given their small size. I'm powering them with a 35 WPC tube amp and couldn't be happier. Waited too long for this purchase.

• +

  Amazing sound, small size, fantastic build quality, happy being powered by tube amps.

• -

  They don't make an LS-100 or LS 150.

I'm an old silverback gorilla recording engineer specializing in classical music. I got my start in the early 1970's and my loudspeaker for monitoring was the Rodgers LS3/5A powered by a Crown D75. Funny I switched amplifiers (Quad and Sony 3120) but I stayed loyal to the speakers.

• +

  excellent complete monitor system. Usually speaker designers aren't great amplifier designers, and vice versa. Not true with the LS50Wireless. Excellent crossover and power design.

• -

  I have a lot of alternative equipment that will go unused.

Fabulous sound from small desktop/stand mount speakers. Truly musical with an amazing soundstage. Great bottom end for a monitor size speaker.

• +

  Small footprint, easy placement, adaptable sound settings for specific locations.

  None
