KEF spec's the LS50s down to 79Hz at -3dB and 47Hz at -6dB. This is pretty amazing response for a mini-monitor. The thing that makes the KEF LS50 mini-monitors so exiting, however, is the price. While $1500 a pair may be a bit extreme for some buyers for a near-field monitor, given the level of technology that has gone into them, the LS50s sound like an absolute steal to us. If you are looking for some high end speakers for your office, den, or other near-field environment, you'd be crazy not to give these a listen.

Well $1500 for a pair of mini monitors might induce exiting rather than excitement for some buyers . . . .

I'd be interested to hear them.

If they really are a great set of nearfield monitors, that price is actually not high. Most of the nearfields discussed on here aren't professional nearfields, they are pro-sumer, bedroom artist nearfields. That's why $1,500 seems high.

I have some older nearfields that use a driver that uses Kef technology, and they are some of the best nearfields I have ever heard.
