KEF LSX
View online review
Scaling something down proportionally to create a smaller replica may work for model villages and food recipes, but in speaker design the rules aren’t quite as simple.
Nevertheless, KEF went ahead and shrunk its original multi-Award-winning LS50 Wireless streaming system, now in its second generation, down to make a miniature, half-price version – the KEF LSX, currently available for £1000.
The LSX shares its successful sibling’s blueprint as an all in one hi-fi system: a network streamer, Bluetooth receiver and amplification within a pair of compact stereo speakers.
But creating the LSX wasn’t a case of simply miniaturising everything in the LS50 Wireless’s anatomy and cutting the price in half. In addition to the smaller cabinets, smaller Uni-Q driver arrays and smaller, 200W amplification, some changes were made to cater for the price and size reduction.
