LSX IIs

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

These are my computer speakers, paired with a KC62 subwoofer. I've been an avid Hi-Fi and home cinema systems enthusiast most of my life, and during this time, I've spent well over 100k USD on speakers and components. I live for this. For the money and size, you will be hard-pressed to find a better

LSX II and LSX II LT are not the same speaker. The LT version is a pared down version with fewer inputs, fewer colors/finish options and no wireless connection option to pair the speakers. They are connected via a USB C cable. The LT normally sells for $999 a pair. Costco must have a deal with KEF t

Yeah. Same here. When I got a KC62 for the LSX II and setup the high pass/low pass filters in the KEF app, they sound amazing now.

Youre going to want a sub either way. Coda is more tailored towards vinyl playback, including additional components like phonopreamp. +1 for the lsx lt. and you can get the kef desktop stands for them which pair perfectly and give you that upward tilt if you cant otherwise angle them perfectly towar

Another +1 for the SVS Micro 3000. If money were no object, the KC62 but that cost more than my LSX II themselves. The store had REL, SVS and KC62 set up for me to demo and the REL felt muddy compared to the other two. The difference between the KEF and SVS was so minimal - definitely not worth an e

Why did you buy active speakers if you went with the Wiim? The KEF LSX II allow an analog input, so it would be standalone + the turntable. It also has built-in Airplay1/2, Chromecast and more. In terms of sound there's no comparison, since switching I haven't looked back. If you position them corre

I was using Spotify for years until I bought the KEF speakers last year. Doing a side by side comparison, when say an orchestra plays together, I could hear a wall of sound on Spotify which actually sounded good but on Tidal, there were different textures in that wall as Tidal diffentiated the diffe

I'll have to try mine out when they get here. I bought them for my turntable and picked them over the LSX II due to being used in a larger room and I liked KEF in general since you can lay the speakers on their sides. I won't be using the phono stage since my SL-1500c has one built in. Will be a lit

LS50. The LSX II really is a desktop/bedroom/small room speaker. There's a reason the LSXs are the only KEFs with USB. Besides, as you note, you can always add a sub to the 50s later, with the LSXs, you'll be forever limited by them. And this from someone who has the LSX IIs and no LS50s. They work
