Speaker system £899 whf.cm/LSX_II_LT

As a versatile, superb sounding and delightfully well-made wireless speaker system that seemingly does it all without costing you the earth, the KEF LSX II is without equal. As its 2023 What Hi-Fi? Award attests, there is simply nothing at the price (around £1199) that will give you such a confident, composed sound while also delivering a raft of streaming features without the need for the complexities of separate amplifiers, DACs or source components.

Or so we have always thought. We considered the LSX II’s tantalising recipe of offering extensive streaming features inside some of the best compact speakers around was tough to beat; but the whole concept of the new and more (relatively) affordable KEF LSX II LT makes a whole lot of sense.

By dropping the option of a wireless link between the speakers, the auxiliary input and a few colour-way options, KEF has been able to bring the price of the new LT model down without sacrificing the core appeal of the product itself.

The LSX II LT speakers are pretty much indistinguishable from the standard LSX II in terms of their general compact size and shape, while KEF’s iconic tangerine waveguide and shiny Uni-Q driver array once again draw the eye without the speaker’s fascia ever seeming overcluttered or overtly showy.
