KEF’s compact all-in-one systems have repeatedly amazed us since they broke into the hi-fi scene, with their blend of great design, extensive connectivity and superior sound. And the LSX II system is no different – it’s better than the original model and last year it won the Which Hi-Fi? 2022 Best System Award £1000-£1500.
It’s a fantastic multi-talented streaming system that will work wonders, especially in smaller rooms. And now the price has dropped from £1199 to £999 (opens in new tab) that’s the same low price we saw the system drop to during Cyber Monday 2022.
What’s more, this significant £200 saving is available on all finishes – white, black, blue, red and the special “Soundwave by Conran” version – so you can choose the color that best suits your home office.
The KEFs don’t compete for shelf appeal: they are striking to look at and compact enough to fit on a (large) desk.
The LSX II’s DSP software has been completely redesigned and uses KEF’s W2 wireless streaming platform. This platform is your gateway to all the different connectivity options on offer, including Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, and Bluetooth. You also have Amazon Music, Deezer, Qobuz, Spotify and Tidal streaming services to choose from, and there’s the option to stream any music stored on an external NAS drive.
The big news for LSX II is the addition of a few extra physical inputs on the speakers themselves. The first is HDMI ARC and the second is a USB-C connection for connecting to a TV and laptop respectively.
Sonically, they produce an engaging, refined performance that sets sky-high standards – well-rounded, with excellent imaging and dynamics. The KEF LSX II is a stylish streaming system that comes with none of the baggage and boxes that come with a separate setup.
If you’re after a fantastically compact system that delivers on both style and sound quality, nothing comes close to the KEF LSX II – and it’s even more affordable than before at this new £999 price (opens in new tab). Buy with confidence.
