Coda W

It would cost more, but I’d highly encourage you look into a pair of powered KEF speakers. They just released a set for $1000 called the CODA W. Those will crush a pair of HomePods and they also still have AirPlay built in so you aren’t losing any functionality (except Siri I guess).

I tested them both at the KEF showroom recently. I came in intending to buy the LSX but after the salesperson showed me the Codas, which I wasn’t even considering, it was an easy decision: the Codas. The overall sound profile is similar, a bit more warmth with the Codas. Bass extension is much lower

Because I want hi-fi sound and for the sake of being able to stream lossless audio I think I'd jump up to the LS50s over the Coda W's if I needed more low end. Cambridge L/R M and X appear to have production issues as I can't find them in stock at any licensed distributors hence ending up between th

Not sure which option OP went with. I was in a similar choice dilemma. Ordered the Kef LSX II LT online from costco for $799. They were not available in any of the stores. Simultaneously bought the KEF Coda W from a local store (Visions Electronics) for $1098 and connected that with a wiim mini thro

Not sure about discontinued, but i've seen a shift away from selling them via audiophile channels to mass sales via costco. whereas the LSX II are still selling at high cost audio-oriented sites, at 3x the price of the 'LT' version. I agree with you that the Coda have larger drivers, a larger cabine

I would go with small towers such as Q Acoustics M40 or Triangle LN05A, JBL 4305P or Kef Coda W for bookshelves.

Kef Coda W are 41-21KHz speakers. not the only parameter to judge but what do manufacturers claim the same or better for less cost than the £799 UK price.

The Q3, Concerto, and LS50 are all far too much speaker for near field in that amount of space. My desk setup is in a space a little larger than yours and I have a pair of Q1 Metas with a 3e Audio A7 Class D amp and a stereo pair of SVS SB-1000 Pro subwoofers, with room correction and subwoofer inte

Soundbars on the whole aren’t very good. There are much better options for similar money. The KEF Coda W is a pair of Active stereo speakers with HDMI input. There’s also the smaller KEF LSX Wireless II or LT. There are other active speakers with HDMI of course but that’s what’s on my radar at the m

Kef coda w and that’s all ( your computers will act as streamers via Usbc )
