LS50 II Wireless

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

I have the LS50 W II’s. They are a much higher end design than the Coda. The LS50 W2’s have almost 4 times as much power and the higher end cabinets and drivers of the LS50 Meta. I see the LS50 wireless are now on sale for $1,999.99

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. Between LS50 Wireless II and Beolab 8, the choice becomes more difficult...

The Kef app was buggy with the LS50 Wireless. They fixed the bugs in the LS50 II wireless but not for mark 1 users, who where left in the cold.

For a give cabinet and drivers the active speakers give a greater range, more bass and lower cost than the passive version. LS50 Meta with an amp that is in total double the cost of the Kef LS50 II wireless is claimed to be better. Kef themselves claim that they could not make a passive version of t

Go with active speakers, as others have suggested. I’d say there are three issues to consider when thinking about what to buy. First, your room at roughly 15’ x 25’ is not small. Quite a few active speakers in your budget are best suited for small rooms or for nearfield listening, where the speakers

Some reviews report that the LS50 Meta with a Hegal amp outperform the LS50 II wireless. but £1k for the speakers and £1.5K for the amp is a lot more than the LS50 II wireless at £1500-1700

I'm a huge believer in dedicated amp and dsp, so ls50 wireless ii would be my choice at this time. I'd rather have tuneable dsp to integrate between drivers and parametric for each driver, but today at that price point I think the kefs are the best that can be done. I haven't heard dirac but I'm a h

Sadly you're right. I've had similar experience with KEF. Their passive speakers are worth it tho. And for the price the LS50 wireless 2 are actually good. Not the LSX nor the LS60 tho - just same performance as LS50 wireless 2.
