Don’t mean to complain but, your voice is so soothing, I almost dozed off while sat in easy chair and risked dropping my iPad 😂😂👏👍🫶

Have had them for a month - they are very good…. Really decent sound, fit well in a living room, and are very pleasant to listen to…. Thanks for the review!

How would these compare to the Sonos Five in stereo? Did you find the range increasing when connecting to a sub? Asking in terms of having them for a living room.

I have their cousins, the LS-50 Metas. I needed to use them for tv audio. I have a Marantz NR-1200 driving them and a REL T5-x to handle the low end. Great little system

[GlennEdell]

You should use your voice for audiobooks. Man, that’s soothing.Thanks for the rewiev!

[tibhen]

Great test, how do they compare to the q acoustic 3020i? i really heistate between the 2, i know the prices difference is huge, but in terms of sound quality, is there a significant difference?

Hello there! I'm planning to use them as TV speakers, but have few questions:
1) As I understood, I need smartphone and Wi-Fi in order to setup them for the first time or if I want to change equalizer settings. But should these speakers always be connected to WIFI in order to operate as TV speakers (wired interconnection)? Сan I forget about smartphone and Wi-Fi forever after setup?
2) If I don't need Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, can I switch it OFF on these speakers? Or these signals always work and transmit some data while speakers work?
3) Each time I turn ON/OFF my TV - should I also turn ON/OFF these speakers? Or they turn off automatically after I turn off my TV?
4) How about bass on these speakers? Is it good enough?

Why do you need them for tv as soon as they don't decode dts, dts hd, dolby, dolby tru hd, lpcm 5.1 or 7.1 into stereo?

Thank you for your great review. (Semi-new subscriber…;-) I really appreciated your sound comparison to the LS50 IIs! I’m pretty sure you’re the first to break it down like that! I hope you consider doing more wireless speaker reviews, even though your forte is home theater! (System Audio?) Thanks again!

Great review! Does the high pass filter in the app means that the KEF LSX ii doesn't play full range? If so, that is a great feature because usually that means a better midrange. The subwoofer takes some of the work from the KEF's.

Using a Mac, looking for desk top speakers, in UK these are £1, 000. How would they compare to 2 Apple HomePods? HomePods are £600 for stereo pair. I do love the look of these. Would use wired to Mac to play WAV files and stream Hi res via Apple Music. Great review thanks!

[djstreet]

what is better "kef lsx II" or "harman kardon citation duo mkiii" ?

[gcruishank]

Just picked up a pair with the Kube 10MIE, can't wait to test them out!

[PhillyAnchor]

Awesome review. How do they compare to the Audioengine A2+ or A5+ ??

[cletcadano]

is the LS50 wireless suitable for a desktop speaker? i am looking for a desktop speaker for my computer but i think the LS50 Wireless is a little big for a desktop speaker, which do u recommend for a desktop speaker?

[gavinlim]

Have you had the chance to compare these with other desktop speakers like the kanto ora? Or edifier 1280db?

[kwalletje]

I don't know if you still react to comments, but I'll try anyway; can you connect these speakers to a receiver as well? Because if I want to buy these speakers, I still wanna use it in combination with my Denon AVR-X2800H DAB receiver. And if not, what kind of bookshelf speakers would you recommend? The KEF Q350 series?

[greatm]

Great review ! Considering new SVS w2 (5.25" driver), the LSXw2, and the LS50w2 for secondary (no surround) TV system as opposed to soundbar or TV speakers. Compact size of LSX is a big plus but worry about room volume (large open area). We use this TV for news, sports, and occasional movie mostly as background sound but compared to TV speakers the LSX must be an improvement ????

[newmyed]

Would you consider these sufficiently powerful for a living room setup where my seated position is approx 2.5m from where the speakers would be located? Or do you think they are only suitable for near field desk use? Thanks!

[ConsulBlair]

well explained thank you I have subbed
