KEF LS50 Wireless II (Pair Review

I've heard such wonderful things about these speakers. I bought these and a KEF KC-60 subwoofer to replace a basic Sonos room amplifier setup combined with a Klipsch RP-600M. Bottom line, the KEFs didn't match. Offering a slightly cleaner sound and sharper image, the KEF lacked the low mids and was no match for rock music compared to the Klipsch. Given that this system costs twice as much. As much as my electricity, I've switched back. Also, the app is terrible; slow and clunky compared to…

Like many other reviews - they sound great but the connectivity completely ruins the experience. I bought these for their wireless capabilities and integration with Spotify.

Edit: The speakers are disabled and I can't get them to work properly. Working with the KEF helpdesk has become a kind of dystopian film about three…

Much better amplification with each speaker thanks to the dual amplification system - class AB for the tweeter, class D for the woofer. but in a bad move they removed the USB-B connector from the previous generation. You can no longer use it as a PC/Laptop DAC. They've also ditched the unbalanced analog RCA L/R inputs in favor of a cheaper consumer 3.5mm stereo mini-jack input, instead they *should* give us balanced XLR inputs. They've added an ARC HDMI input for TV lovers, but it's hardly TV…
