LS 60

Went from Sonos arc + sub setup to a Kef LS60 + Kef sub. It’s 3x the money but has literally created a new type of activity I didn’t know I could have at home. That is, just sitting on the sofa exactly like I would be if I were attending a concert. On the “improvements” advice, the one and only thin

I've owned the LS60s for the past ~8 months and highly recommend them. The LS60s can go lower (31hz at +-3db), while the R11 can get to 46hz. Means realistically you can use the LS60 without subs, while with the R11s you'll want to add a sub. The 8 force cancelling woofers on the LS60s are no joke!

Really depends on what you want / what you already have. I tried out the LS60 / LS50 Wireless and then the LS50 Meta. If I didn't already have everything (amp, pre, receiver, etc) I would have absolutely gone with the KEF active speakers. Out of all of them, I really love the LS50 Meta (and the R3 M

The Kef app was buggy with the LS50 Wireless. They fixed the bugs in the LS50 II wireless but not for mark 1 users, who where left in the cold. LS60 dropped in price since launch and are end game speakers with or without the KC62 subwoofer. They can pump out 111db which is rock concert loud. The LSX

The LS60 go down to ~30 Hz (+-3dB, anechoic), which means it covers most of the range of human hearing, since a room will typically extend the response. What you're missing isn't that, you're missing the ability to go loud enough for your use. Unfortunately for you, the LS60 isn't ideally suited for

For a give cabinet and drivers the active speakers give a greater range, more bass and lower cost than the passive version. LS50 Meta with an amp that is in total double the cost of the Kef LS50 II wireless is claimed to be better. Kef themselves claim that they could not make a passive version of t

The LS60 have gotten some great reviews by some. However, they are $6k new, and probably around $3k used. They are a great all in one simple solution that many are after. However, some may not want to be stuck in an active system and choose to go with separates. In the used market I've seen things l

I’ve not had any of that experience. iOS updating hasn’t meant I need to use the KEF app. I did get a new wifi router a couple of years ago and needed to change the settings then, but the app worked fine in that one instance. I heard terrible things about the app for the version 1 speaker, but the v

Sadly you're right. I've had similar experience with KEF. Their passive speakers are worth it tho. And for the price the LS50 wireless 2 are actually good. Not the LSX nor the LS60 tho - just same performance as LS50 wireless 2.

How come your hifi dealer is pushing you a 7000usd speakers despite barely letting you auditioned it. Put aside the Kef LS60, I'll avoid stores like that.
