From the manufacturer
The convenience and connectivity of wireless. The emotion and detail of true high-resolution stereo. And all from a compact system designed to fit almost anywhere. LSX is the speaker system for the way we listen today.
Colours and fabrics.
Whatever your style, there’s an LSX to match. The system comes with a choice of five colours, and is clad in an industrial fabric by Danish contemporary textile designer, Kvadrat. These fine details make the LSX pleasing to the touch, as well as appealing to the eye.
Uni-Q. The sweet spot just got a lot wider.
LSX comes with KEF’s breakthrough Uni-Q driver array. By placing the tweeter at the centre of the midrange and bass cone, it radically improves stereo imaging. This not only makes music sound clear, detailed and lifelike, it does so across a wider listening area.
Features:
- LF: 70W/HF: 30W Per Speaker
- Resolution up to 192kHz/24bit
- Apple AirPlay 2
- Spotify & TIDAL Streaming
- Bluetooth
- Roon Tested
- Optical Input and Analog Inputs
- Subwoofer Output
Play anything. Hear everything.
From streaming to gaming, from TV to multi-room music, LSX is designed for all your home entertainment needs. Play what you like, how you like, where you like and experience it all in glorious high-resolution stereo.
Contoured baffle. Hear the music, not the speaker.
Optimised using Finite Element Analysis, LSX’s contoured baffle improves sound dispersion, ensuring that sound waves travel outwards and are not reflected around the cabinet surface. The result? A purer sound, with less cabinet colouration.

DSP - Small Speakers BIG soundLSX uses KEF’s Music Integrity Engine – bespoke Digital Signal Processing that helps the speakers deliver transparent bass with great extension, while reducing distortion. So you can fill your room with rich, full-bodied sound. |

On another note, the build quality is top notch. They are very dense and the styling is very modern and eye-catching.
Bluetooth connectivity is simple, and while the app isn’t the greatest thing ever, it does its job fine and allows you to tune the speakers. Pairing is simple and when you turn them on, they will generally default to the first device you’ve paired them to. Speaking of pairing, the only thing I despise about these speakers is the chime they make when you turn them on, pair a device, and turn them off. It’s some acoustic chime that I find annoying, but it’s totally negligible. I highly recommend these to anyone in the market for a more high-end desk system, without paying thousands.
1. The wireless connection between the left and right speakers is extremely bad. The sound is degraded and very choppy. This problem can be avoided for by hardwiring the two speakers using the included cable. But for a premium wireless speaker, this is unacceptable.
2. Airplay does not work consistently. In several instances the speaker does not show up in the airplay list and I had to pull the power plug out and force restart for it to start working again.
3. The remote is required to turn the speaker on and switch sources. It does not have a mode where it is in standby and it automatically wakes up when music is played through airplay or bluetooth.
4. While the speaker can theoretically be powered on through the KEF app, it worked less than 10% of the time. Most cases, the app would just hang and or have a error message saying that it couldn't connect to the speaker.
5. The KEF app is terrible. It is buggy, does not work consistently and UI is plain bad.
While KEF is good at building great sounding speakers, they are terrible at building wireless speakers and the tech that goes along with it. There are better alternatives for 1/3 or 1/4 the cost.
The not-so-good: when on standby the speakers emit a distinct high-pitch whine (probably the power supply), and I guess I'm young enough that I can hear it. Maybe it's just my unit, I haven't listened to others.
The AirPlay connectivity is very unreliable, but that's mostly Apple's fault (my 10+ year-old Squeezebox gear works better and more reliably than that!).
I also ended up using the cable to connect the two speakers, because I had some connection drops when using the wireless mode.
Out of the box, they sound really boomy, loud and muddy: make sure you use the remote control app to change the settings, otherwise you will be disappointed by the sound.
The bad: I dropped the remote control on the floor and it now refuses to work, so I have to use the app to turn it on/off. A physical power button (and input selector) would have been nice!
I own KEF Q-series speakers, and I've been very happy with them. So I was disappointed by these. I also have a pair of Audioengine A5 monitors from a few years ago that cost me half the price, but sound better than these (less coloring, more transparent, and better image). And for that price, I would instead go for a good pair of bookshelf speakers and a NAD D3020 to power them: it'll sound better, and you can always upgrade the components.

Mise à jour de mon avis (octobre 2019)
Après avoir tenté et retenté de réinstaller mes enceintes pendant quelques jours, j’ai fini par m.apercevoir que j’avais omis de cocher une case (celle indiquant que les deux enceintes sont reliées par un câble réseau dans le cas de ma configuration) et oh miracle tout c’est mis à fonctionner à nouveau. J’avoue être passé à côté.
Quoiqu’il en soit, et en résumé, c’est un super produit
Deux points complémentaires:
Un grand merci au service client Amazon qui m’a suivi dans mon soucis et m’a toujours rassuré sur la suite qui serait donné si mon équipement avait continué à ne pas fonctionner.
J’attends toujours la réponse de Keff à mon mail (envoyé à une adresse que je n’ai pourtant pas inventé). Et j’avoue ne pas avoir porté attente à la réponse de Keff à mon avis (peut être parce que j’étais trop content d’avoir à nouveau un produit opérationnel.
Overall I am very satisfied with the product.
