Jakrin’s Burson Funk with KEF LS50 Meta and HiFiMAN Sundara

• Impedance: 8 Ω (minimum 3.5 Ω)
• Sensitivity: 85 dB (2.83 V / 1 m)
• Frequency response: 79 Hz – 28 kHz (±3 dB); 47 Hz – 45 kHz range
• Recommended amplifier power: 40 – 100 W
• Other: max SPL 106 dB

Matching notes: The LS50 Meta is rated at 85 dB (2.83 V / 1 m) into 8 Ω nominal (3.5 Ω minimum). Burson rates the Funk at 35 W into 8 Ω and 45 W into 4 Ω. At that rating the speaker would reach about 100 dB SPL at 1 m (calc., one speaker, before room gain). KEF recommends 40 – 100 W amplifiers. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
