Who Says High-Performance Speakers Have to Be Big?
Eight years ago, KEF introduced the LS50, which took the audio world by storm. It was a compact speaker with big sound and surprising clarity, fidelity, and impact for its size. Naturally, competitors rushed to copy this new success.
What made the LS50 so popular was the compact design that could fit anywhere and deliver the type of performance that satisfied serious audiophiles that might be tight on space. The LS50 also performed admirably for movies and TV sound for those that only needed (or might only have room for) a two-channel setup.
Recently KEF has updated the LS50 for even better performance. In typical KEF fashion, it’s an evolution of a groundbreaking high-end audio product, not a revolution. Read on to see if the new LS50 is right for your next compact two-channel system in Chesterfield, MO.

Did You Know Outdoor TVs are Waterproof?
Some people may not even know that outdoor TVs exist. How is an outdoor TV different? The most important aspect is their resistance to the elements. An outdoor TV must withstand rain, humidity, heat, cold, and even infiltration by insects. Beyond that, outdoor TVs also need screens that can minimize reflections from ambient light and get bright enough for daytime viewing in lots of light.
Some people install regular indoor TVs in covered patio areas. Should you do that? We don’t recommend it. Most indoor TVs are made for controlled temperature conditions. Scorching summer temperatures could cause it to overheat, and freezing temperatures might render it inoperable for the next season. And indoor TVs are not prepared for outdoor humidity, not to mention that they can’t get wet in any way.
