A fantastic, multi-talented streaming system perfect for smaller rooms
KEF LSXII

SPEAKER SYSTEM £1199

The KEF LSX II is a stylish streaming system that comes with none of the baggage and boxes a separates set-up brings. The speakers use the same version of KEF’s 11th Generation Uni-Q driver as found in their predecessors, too. Surprisingly, there’s no room for KEF’s Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), which is present in the LS50 Wireless II and LS60 Wireless and works to absorb soundwaves that radiate from the back of the tweeter dome. KEF tells us it would increase the cost too much.

Like the original LSX, the cabinets are rear-ported, and amplification once again amounts to 200 watts, with 30W going to the tweeter and 70W to the woofer on each channel.

Despite the lack of exterior changes, the KEFs don’t struggle for shelf appeal. Far from it. They are still striking to look at and, like the originals, are available in five finishes. ‘Mineral white’ and ‘lava red’ models sport matt satin and high-gloss finishes respectively, while ‘carbon black’ and ‘cobalt blue’ are clad in Kvadrat fabric.

The big changes for the KEF LSX II have happened beneath the surface. The LSX II’s DSP software has been completely redesigned, with some of the changes trickling down from its pricier siblings.
