Sub for KEF LS 50

I'm guessing you've bought them for stereo/music purposes, if that's the case I'd recommend an REL T5 (or Sumiko S5). They're the fastest subwoofers out there, and while they may not be the deepest bass, they'll blend beautifully with your speakers for music.
Traditional subwoofer wise, an Emotiva Basx S10 or an SVS SB 1000 on the higher end.

How does the LS50 pair with your AVR?
Are you missing punch?
LS50s are great speakers if one is looking for honest to God presentation.
But they can get a bit too truthful about the quality of content, if you know what I mean.
Subs are a good addition when you want to shore up the bass.
But check just the 2.0 first and figure out what you need.

Minimum impedance of ls50 is 3.2 ohm
You need good power to get good bass from it.
For high res and full size - use third party site
For low res and reduced size - just attach thumbnails (Attach files option)

Did you try moving the speaker stands closer to the front wall? Keep moving it as close as possible and see if bass improves, without too much of a collapse in soundstage.
LS50 specs show it's 79Hz-28kHz (+-3dB), so you might need a sub. Also as suggested by FMs a good stereo amp will be better than the AVR
If you don't care about surround effects, KEFs can be used in 2.0 or 2.1 configuration for Home theatre and music, using a stereo amp. The strong center image can substitute the need for a separate center speaker. KEFs I have [Q300 & 500] are excellent in mids and highs, not so with low end. But as a personal preference I don't like too much bass, so that was OK. The LS50 are flagship speakers, so should be much better than what I have.
LS50s should work well for movies with a sub.
Most folks who buy these use them for dedicated 2-channel purpose.
Yes they are a bit bass shy (80Hz I think)
When I heard them out, it did not feel lean though.
It was paired with a Denon Integrated Amp (can do better than this)
