Don´t bother with the LS50 if the rest of your equipment isn´t up to snuff

KEF celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2011. As part of that anniversary, KEF released the LS50 in 2012, a compact reference monitor that promptly set the world on fire. Still in production, the LS50 quickly achieved a cult-like following due to its enormous value proposition.

Not all speakers look alike, you can tell your non-audiophile friends now. The KEF LS50 shows how to mix styling flair with high-quality sonic delivery. We are smitten …

As the market of wireless speakers continues to expand and improve, more and more high end brands are coming out with impressive products that pleasantly surprise us.

KEF made theLS50minispeaker for lots of reasons. It's a celebration of the company's 50thanniversary. It's the first affordable application of the technology developed for the $29,999/pairBlade.

There's not much more I can add to all the reviews and awards these speakers have won. What I will say is the sound is stunningly good. The art work of the Nocturne Edition is more intricate than pictures represent. Seeing them at dark and how they glow is fantastic!

Uniquely beautiful Connection options Incredibly powerful Proven performance Universally lauded by reviewers

Not a single one

The LS50 Wireless is an active stereo speaker system, offering all the plug-and-play convenience of a Bluetooth speaker alongside the high-end audio capabilities of proper hi-fi separates.

Outstanding sound; Great choice of inputs; Easy and flexible to set up and use; Neat design

App isn't as responsive as it could be; Can't control physical inputs via the app

These KEF Wirelesses are way more than just active versions of the award-winning LS50s. They're a complete system wrapped in a neat and brilliant package KEF has done a terrific job here. It has taken the award-winning LS50s and made them an even better proposition.

Impressive clarity and insight; Taut bass and strong dynamics; Features and excellent build; Neat package

Some small usability issues

If you're starting to take your music listening experience more seriously, it's natural to look into getting a speaker setup. That is until you realize that you'll have to pick a preamp, amp, and DAC to get your dream speaker setup.
