The KEF Reference Series is the company's longest-running speaker line, dating back to the late 1970s. From the beginning, KEF has always set out lofty objectives for this high-end audio line. Even back in the 1970s, when computers were not common in labs, KEF used computer measurement to ensure that their high objective standards were met.

Unlike some of the other high-fidelity flagship speakers for which the company is known – the brilliant Blade, Muon, and the superb LS50 – the KEF Reference line is a complete line of speakers that encompasses towers, bookshelves, center channels, a subwoofer, and even architectural models. The goal is to provide the famous clear, transparent, detailed sound quality of KEF for any application.

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.
