Coda W

LSX II LT. Hands down. Coda W are Bluetooth ONLY, NOT wi-fi! That instantly disqualifies them for me. Bluetooth is lo-fi. The Coda Ws are not designed as a streaming system like all of the KEF Wireless series speakers, but more of an old school standalone stereo system. I often stream music to both

Go LSX II. The KC62 is a great sub, but you could also go for the KEF KUBE 10 MIE sub. I have the LSX v1 and KUBE 10b. Great little system. ALSO, just discovered a $200 phono preamp with optical output! https://www.project-audio.com/en/product/optical-box-e-phono/ The Coda W is nice, but it’s more o

LSX II have analogue inputs and both speakers are wireless so do not need a chord between them. That would be worth the difference to me. Coda W lack Airplay, Chromecast, uPnP, Roon but being larger slightly lower bass at 41 to LSX at 45 Hertz. I use Chromecast and uPnP and would miss it. I currentl
