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

Yes I was relieved it was so simple to dial in. I have the Kube 8. As someone new to hi-fi and living in a more compact space, for me it truly was the perfect solution for someone wanting a “lifestyle” oriented setup while being “audiophile approved”. I think KEF smartly occupies this surprisingly b

Beolab 8 compete with KEF LS50 Wireless II, not with LSX II. Between BL8 and LSX II at technical level, there's no comparison whatsoever, the BL8 are way better - that is, aside from personal preferences in sound signature.

Check any products with "Google Cast" (formerly known as "Chromecast built-in").

I use a Topping D10S connected via USB to my computer, and then Coax to the LS50. This provides a perfect USB connectio

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.

If you are an iPhone user you can install Google Chromecast and test also uPnP. I have run TuneBlade on my PC hoping for the low latency Airplay 2 gets via Apple 4K TV but no luck. uPnP, DLNA and Chromecasts sound better then Airplay 2. WiSA is even better and the speakers much improved using WiSA t

The ls50 II wireless is an awesome speaker but if or when the amp goes out then it may be a lost investment outside of its warranty. I suggest buying the much better but unpowered R3 meta and a Wiim amp with built in streaming. It may add up to a similar cost and you may have a better sounding speak
