The speakers are constructed out of medium-density fiberboard (MDF), which keeps them on the lighter side without making them any weaker in terms of build quality. Dimensions: 4.53 x 7.32 x 5.94in (115 x 186 x 151mm)Īt just a little over seven inches tall, these speakers aren't huge, but they're slightly larger than you might expect out of computer speakers.
The Relay Speakers and Relay Subwoofer are sold separately, but should they be? Sure, in case you want to use the subwoofer with another set of speakers, but you should really consider buying them together as a set if you can. The Relay line includes a gaming headset, a smart headphone stand (with a built-in DAC), and the speakers and subwoofer we're looking at in this review. NZXT gave it another try, and apparently, the company is happy enough with them that they're actually coming out this time. In 2019, the company announced plans to begin shipping audio products but dropped them when they didn't meet the company's standards. While this is the first time customers have had the chance to buy NZXT speakers, it isn't the first attempt the company has made. The NZXT Relay Speakers and Relay Subwoofer are great examples, bridging the gap between computer speakers and typical bookshelf speakers. Starting At $249.99 Jason Montoya / How-To GeekĬomputer speakers are no longer just for basic listening, as manufacturers have been making speakers with gaming and cinematic sound in mind.
#Ls50 meta amplifier driver#
Pretty much the same driver KEF uses in its $32,000 BLADE. It's obvious: KEF got things right with an unusual, but obviously brilliantly-designed and well-built driver in a well-braced cabinet. I could superimpose one graph on the other. I used real time FFT with peak hold on a variety of music streams - with optical wire, no USB here - to get a response almost the same I was getting with two high end headphones. I applied some EQ to take down the bass (along with the speaker's own built-in DSP functions to limit the output, which was overwhelming). My flat there, in an 1847 World Heritage building, has 4 meter high ceilings, meter thick walls, and parquet. I think others have had the same experience as I.īut the KEFs didn't realize their performance limits until I dragged them to Budapest in two luggages. There is no upside to external components and wires not as well matched to the driver as KEF accomplished within the whole package. The built-in DAC/amps outperformed the nekkid speaker with a far more expensive external amplifier. The powered model was significantly better than the base speaker with any amplifier I used it with.
Simply put, it way exceeded my expectations here in the US where I tested them first. On a whim for my Budapest flat I purchased the second pair of LS50's, this time the wireless W-designated model.
