LS50 Wireless II

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

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

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.

The next model up, that are double the price, would be more appropriate for longer listening distances / bigger room:

It’s bit of a mismatch if you are going to go with KEF LSX II or LSX II LT (EAC review), and then add miniDSP. Then all of that streaming, input selection, etc. features in your KEF are not going to be used. You would either want to go with those KEF speakers, or the more suitable for longer listeni

Hi everyone, first of all, a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to share their recommendations and thoughts. I got exactly what I came for and learned an enormous amount throughout this process! Digging into the difference between active and passive systems, decoupling, to sealed vs. porte

Do active designs exist which save on space AND on cables? Yup, for example Wi-Fi speakers such as KEF LS50 Wireless II. These are truly active (four built-in power amplifiers per stereo pair) AND they get their signal via WiFi. They need one power cord per speaker but can do without signal cables..
