[Sound Battle] KEF LS50 META vs Monitor Audio Bronze 100 Bookshelf Speakers w/Arcam SA10 Amplifier

[@ramin3080]

I Think Bronze 100 with Arcam SA10 is amazing .Perfect match and perfect balance.

[@valleyguy633]

Bronze 100 more refined, more open, hits harder to my ears. The more I listen it's B100 by a huge margin.

[@jamespavier1624]

100 fuller sound, Meta open midrange. I have Silver 100 and Kef Q50 height channels I like both brands.

[@yvesmartin8259]

LS50 Meta for me. it has better details. Instruments are clearer. Example here is the plucking of guitar strings in the song Star Night. You can't add a midrange to MA but you can add a subwoofer eg. KC62 to your metas.

[@arnonym823]

Amazing work thx. Could you test the silver 100 against the ls50?

[@eprojectEllie]

thanks for your request. Unfortunately, I do not have sliver 100. Maybe later.

[@aldepal]

Bronze sound more open to me, is the tweeter dispersion guide removable? It might be affecting the detail clarity me thinks

[@cornishminer69]

Price wise a bit of a mis match, MAs do an amazing job for the money.

[@Andrew_Nekrasov]

the biggest difference is noticeable on the track Time Traveling in the vocals. On the one hand, it seems that MA sounds because of the huge stage, but until then you won’t listen to the original where the vocals are closer to KEF LS50

[@punkish7]

Maybe someone can help me out here. I read over and over that the Metas need a huge amount of power to preform well. This Arcam is rated at 50W at 8 ohms, which does not seem like a huge amount of power. I don't know much about amps, I understand there is more to it that just watts, but what am I missing? Thanks

[@williammiebach1798]

The Monitors are easier on the ear in this demo, and they make the Metas sound bass shy. Shame It's bass is bloated and it"s mids are blury.

[@williammiebach1798]

E, I think the flatscreen has changed the sound, and seems to be effecting different speakers slightly differently. I love the sparkly lightshow..but

[@revelatortestor237]

Les voix se détachent de la musique avec la KEF alors que sur la Bronze 100 c'est en ensemble plus fusionnel mais un son aussi plus compact. C'est une question de préférence pour le choix entre ces 2 paires d'enceintes.

[@DougMen1]

Can we combine these two speakers, so we'd have the open midrange of the Meta, and the fuller bass and sweeter treble of the MA? Oh wait, we already have that, in the Polk R200!

[@williammiebach1798]

Not quite

[@DougMen1]

@@williammiebach1798 If you want to hear the last generation of warmer and sweeter Bronzes, listen to the Bronze BX1. That was the last last generation of Bronzes with a poly based woofer infused with metal, that they called MMP, for metal matrix polymer. After that, they went to a full metal cone woofer, as on the Silver, Gold, and Platinum ranges, which is their ceramic coated aluminum/magnesium, CCAM, also used on their tweeters.

[@burtonwhiteside1240]

Exactly

[@oldassgamer9138]

Polk r200 is way over rated and personally sounds bad in every aspect. It’s almost an insult to compare it to these speakers.

[@davidedolse2698]

Kef for my

[@ahmadalawadhi538]

MA the best open sound clear bass

[@higobatman]

As MA Bronze 100 me agradaram mais. Menos fadiga e cansaço. Som mais agradável e musical. E graves melhores com mais dinâmica e pegada. Som mais encorpado no geral. As LS50 Meta necessitam de um subwoofer para ficarem melhores. Soam mais magras, finas, duras.

[@vincent82228]

Bronze for me

[@60zeller]

KEF is 3 times the price of the Monitor

[@taras_7022]

Bronze 100 costano 3 volte meno e suonano meglio. Figuriamoci silver Gold e Platinum 😅😅😅😅

[@MegaPalesz]

Bronze!
