I like how the LS50 Wireless II is now labelled as an “entry point” speaker for “small rooms”, with its “standard KEF cabinet”. Granted that’s not KEF’s literature (I hope?) but still. Where does this leave the LSX II in terms of the line up? Is that one meant for cupboards?

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 have the LS50 gen 1 and X gen 2. First, plan on a sub ASAP. I run all my setups with subs, so I'm biased, but the smaller speakers lose significant bass ability - both 50's and X. For near field, I don't notice much difference between the two, largely since the volume levels are relatively low wit

I've been through at least 10 different "audiophile" speaker systems over the decades. The best I've heard is what I have now - KEF LS50 Wireless II. So clean, clear, distinct, even over the spectrum of audio sound. Add a subwoofer, and you'll not want anything more. And they don't cost a fortune, l

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

I get where you are coming from but these are Self-powered LS 50 Wireless II. It’s a confusing setup in my picture. 🙃 when listening to music, I am using tidal + the built-in amps. Some (me) would argue that this is the best way to enjoy the LS 50 meta (effectively) since KEF designed the amps and t

How do I listen to DR12 content on my KEF LS50 wireless II’s? They sound amazing using Spotify’s lossless, but I know there’s deeper levels out there.

Side note- looking to upgrade from my KEF LS50 Wireless II to passive speakers, streamer + integrated amp. Need bookshelf or stand mounted speakers. Out of curiosity I listened to Wharfedale Super Dentons… warm as a cozy fall day in front of the fire, but lacking the detail of the KEFs. Then he had

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
