KEF has unveiled the LSX II LT Wi-Fi Hi-Fi speakers. The new model is a cheaper version of the award-winning LSX II, launched in 2022, with many of the same features. For example, both devices use a Uni-Q driver with a 19 mm aluminum tweeter and a 115 mm magnesium and aluminum alloy diaphragm.

Each of the LSX II LT speakers’ class D amplifiers has a total output of 100W, generating up to 102 dB volume (maximum sound pressure level measured at 1m). The product offers streaming with up to 384 kHz/24-bit resolution and a frequency range of 49 Hz to 47 kHz. Plus, you can wirelessly connect a device using Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast or Bluetooth 5.0; supported streaming services include Spotify (Connect), Tidal (Connect) and Amazon Music. Alternatively, you can physically connect gadgets via HDMI (ARC), USB-C and TOSLINK optical ports. Compared to the original model, the missing features are Roon Ready certification, a 3.5mm audio jack and compatibility with MQA audio.

The two speakers must be connected via USB-C, whereas the older devices could be connected wirelessly. You can choose from Sage Green, Graphite Grey and Stone White colorways, with each speaker measuring 240 x 144 x 180 mm (~9.4 x 5.7 x 7.1-in). MyKEF members can now pre-order the KEF LSX II LT speakers for $999.99/ €999, with a wider launch planned for January 25th. For comparison, the KEF LSX II retails for $1,299.99/€1,399, making the new model $300/€400 cheaper.
