LIKE NEW

Not sure how these are received around here, but thought I'd check out the interest from the Polkies.

The incredible reference line LS50 from Kef with driver matched amplifiers (two per speaker) built in, along with individual DACs per speaker with built in DSP.

These are, dollar for dollar, the best value speaker I have ever owned. Detail off the charts, amazing sense of space... Everything all the incredible reviews have said.

The most amazing part is that with these speakers and a smart phone, you have a reference grade audiophile system that requires nothing else. No preamp, no amps, no source devices. You can add any of these things if you really wanted to, though

The most telling review is the one from 6moons that tested the LS50 vs the LS50W and it took near 35-50k worth of equipment to get to the level that the built in components of the wireless version.

And you can own these without a single other piece of audio equipment!! It's absolutely astounding. So why am I selling? Because I have a second pair. These were for my office, which is now being occupied by other employees and I have to switch to headphones.


These were purchased from an authorized Kef dealer out of New York and I can provide receipt if necessary. It will come with every single piece of packaging, documentation, and cable that was originally in the box, and some are still unwrapped.


You're going to love these. They look like new and were never abused in any way.


True audiophile reference equipment here at a midfi price - $1750 shipped. Polk Forum price

I can attest to the sound of them. I went this route last year and use my velodyne sub for more growl. Although for most music, they do amazing on their own.

@newrival do you still have the stock power cords on the ones you kept? I went through Cullen and changed them out.

Folks, great speaker and trustworthy seller. You will have to spend a lot more money to get this kind of sound.

Thanks, Buddy! Did you go to that g2g in plainfield this year? I’ve been remodeling the house nonstop and have been under a rock for 2018.

I’m running mine with Pangaeas and a stock interconnect. I may have to try a custom one.

Ive been working late and after hours I’ll turn these up and am always astounded at the imaging. And you know I’m an imaging and soundfield nut.

I ran these in particular with an Anthony gallo tr-3D subwoofer, and it was magical. I’m using Rythmik F15HPs at home.

For me, its the only thing thats sounded right in the den. If it wasn't for clumsy step kids who knock everything over, i would consider yours for a 2nd pair in the living room instead of the lsi25 thats in there now.
I did not get to go but Russ and Dan did. go.

Folks again, if your looking to downsize and don't want to give up soubd quality and possibly have some $ leftover from selling your amp, preamp, cables and speakers; this is it!. If your still using a spinner, optucal, coax, or RCA in.
