LS50 II Wireless

I have both. One set of Beolab 8 in my bedroom and one set as rear speakers to my Beovision Theatre in the living room. The Kef LSX II is used as desktop speakers in my office. Like @matteventu wrote above, the Beolab 8 are more similar to LS 50 Wireless II than LSX. The Beolab 8 can play louder and

I’ve owned both. The difference with a KC62 on both is marginal. There is a difference in my space, but not enough. The upgrade from an LS50 Wireless II, in my space, is not the LS60s. It’s moving to a dedicated amp, R11s, and Rels. That’s a more expensive system for sure, but that’s what it took to

I owned the LSX II paired with a KEF sub. Sounded very good but I decided to try the LS50 Wireless IIs with the sub. Like you, I like to listen loud at times. There is simply no comparison between the LSX and the LS50’s. The LS50’s are much better is every way you can imagine. They still need a sub

Check any products with "Google Cast" (formerly known as "Chromecast built-in"). Avoid those that don't have it, i.e. Sonos, most Samsung, recent Sony Bravia soundbars, etc, even if they claim support for "Google Home". Some examples of soundbars that integrate nicely into a Google Home ecosystem by

For near-field desktop listening I think the LSX II are perfect. Especially when using their table stands, or similar stands, that direct their speaker elements towards your ears. I don’t think LS50 Wireless II will improve the sound for desktop listening. I have also thought about adding a KC62 sub

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

I placed the LS50 Wireless II with two KC62 subwoofers in my home office this week. At first, I was disappointed because my perception of music had been “ruined” by bass-boosted JBL and Bose speakers. But after a few hours of listening, I’m very satisfied.

I've never listened to a Q Acoustics speaker before - seems like a decent brand. It looks like they tend to be voiced somewhere between more neutral and on the bright side (Maybe more like Paradigm?). I think you should give strong consideration to passive speakers. You still need to plug the active

Depends what you are looking for? And size of room? If you want the kef's to go nicely for home cinema there are really 2 key choices Svs sb3000 or the more punchy and comparably priced svs pb2000 pro - the pb2000 pro is heavy though and takes a bit of strength to optimally position it. For cinema y

I appreciate your writing a lot, thank you for that. Having owned a kef build kit together with my dad when I was 6. (4 speakers each, 1 m tall and about 45*60 deep. I yes have to hear better sounding speakers than those 2. Could be nostalgia or sentiment. But we had a top tier system. Harman cardon
