The Price is what it is! The build and sound quality is high, so a real winning one-of-a-kind product "BUT" only as good as what your feed them with. These speakers are very reveling and unforgiving, if you play or stream a bad recording/signal. At 64y/o set-up was "NOT" simple as you scan a code to open an APP for instructions but I'm not of the modern age, but you better have a smart SMART Phone as is the fashion for APP Everything. I bought these smart speakers for my computer use wall mounting them on homemade shelfs as too tight to buy the dedicated wall mounts (That I don't think would take the weight?) If this is your idea, I found the Bluetooth link had a slight delay when watching music videos, and "I" found that aggravating so sorted with a USB-C to USB-C ... MoreThe Price is what it is!

So yes watching a high-quality video the sound and sound stage is Holographic! I don't pay for a streaming service but the free one/s are well catered for. Internet Radio is another big plus for me and I'm still exploring the world of 7,000 stations. Using them for you TV sound would be amazing so with the music streaming feature, much better than a Soundbar. Quality is everything, and they will cover 90% of all your requirements but they do make a bigger model! All except Red and White have a fabric covering so cleaning could be troublesome? And both speakers need mains electric power supply but are not power hungry and near to nothing on standby like all modern products. On line video reviews should answer all your questions and show the setting up procedure.

First off amazing service from Richer Sounds; ordered in the afternoon and delivered the next day as promised.The speakers themselves have a lovely finish and too me look great. Masterful packaging to which properly protects the product, is easy to get into and is fully recyclable.The important bit - the speakers sound great - I’m streaming from Amazon Music (paid for account therefore with HD content) and will try Tidal but definitely not disappointed! Connectivity on the speakers is great although I’m not actually using what is available.The Kef app seems good so far and no issues getting it to do what I want and setup was easy.

Total Waste of Money. DO NOT BUY THIS SPEAKER IS JUNK. Does not stay connected, takes forever to reconnect but when it does it sounds worse than a cheap $49 Echo Ball Speaker. Best Buy Sales reps most get something to push these junk speakers. I was conned into buying these speakers for LG OLED TV. I went to BestBuy looking to purchase the best LG Sound Bar system because I wanted the best external speaker integration with my LG OLED TV. The LG Sound Bar system that has a sub, 2 surround sound back speakers, 2 front speakers and a center sound bar speaker was less than 1/2 the price of these two worthless KEF-LSXII speakers. I was so sold by that best buy salesmen I didn't save the box. I'm a total tech customer and spend a fer thousand dollars every month or two ... MoreTotal Waste of Money.

I purchased these 2 months ago and would like to share my experience. I have using them on a desktop for near field listening connected via USB to a Mac Studio Computer. In this scenario, at their default setting, they have a larger than expected soundstage with a smooth and slightly shy treble. After a couple of weeks I notice an improvement in the resolution of finer details and a more extended bass response. I have not found the need to add a subwoofer. A big reason for me to keep these is that the KEF mobile App can be loaded to run on a Mac desktop computer and kept in a minimised window on my monitor. On fairly regular occasions the KEF app becomes unresponsive and cannot find the speaker, the only way to restore this is to reset and reconfigure the speaker. ...

The only KEF music selection that I have tried is the Network setting, the interface is extremely basic compared to native Apps. I have awarded 5 stars, but would have knocked off half a star for the App issues.
Wow these are good for computer speakers! Everything you hear about how good KEF powered speakers is true. As I said I use them as computer speakers at my work desk. The connectivity of these what originally got my attention. It has about every plug and wireless connection available. I purchased these without seeing or hearing them knowing BB would take them back if I was not satisfied. They are good sized but put out FANTASTIC sound near field at mid to low volumes. At really high volumes these do run out of juice but that level is too high at a desk. I don't know how to rate the value of these. These are expensive but the quality of sound is very close to speakers costing much more. I enjoy every minute listening to these. I bought a set of heavy duty tripods and ...

I bought a set of heavy duty tripods and mounted them 8" high off of the desk. The stands allow me to get them closer to ear level and have a swivel mechanism to point them just right.As a side note I would consider these and a subwoofer instead of a soundbar in my bedroom if these are in your budget.
Unti last week I was an old die-hard hard-wired stereo sort of bloke with a large collection of cds and a huge collection of songs on my pc. But no great way to listen to them - especially as my wife has insisted the new kitchen has no cables or wires or aerials.Solution? Richer Sounds - for a great demo of the speakers, and the knowledge on how to get the best from them. I was thinking of bluetoothing them - until Robert in Reigate explained what a NAS is and how streaming wi-fi will produce a great souns.Behold! All is set up in our living room and I knew instantly that this is the best music setup I have ever owned. From Focus to William Byrd to Genesis to Bach, the depth of sound, the clarity, the breadth of musical range is just superb.I was tempted by ...

Where from? Silly: there's only Richer Sounds when it comes to listening to music!
These replaced an AV receiver and stereo speakers for TV duty in a medium-sized study. Along with a third-party sub, these easily fill the room. They sound great with movies and music connected to the TV’s optical connection using an Apple TV 4k as a source. They do not sound much different than the previous AVR/passive speaker combo except for movie dialogue, which I think is better with the LSXII’s. I would consider these too large for desktop speakers and too small for a large den or media room. Just right for a 250sqft room, though. I have not tried streaming from the KEF Connect app. AirPlay works fine. They wake on WiFi and you can set them to wake on a second source. An optical signal will not automatically switch the source. Other reviewers may be able to ... MoreThese replaced an AV receiver and stereo speakers for TV duty in a medium-sized study. Along with a third-party sub, these easily fill the room.

Other reviewers may be able to comment on source-switching with HDMI. Expensive, but I could not find any other set of active speakers with the connection options and good looks of the LSXII. They are not your typical sharp-cornered black boxes. Setup was easy and the app is great for integrating a sub with independent high and low-pass frequencies. They sound fine without the sub…plenty of bass for music though you may want more for movies. The stands are also expensive, but very sturdy with a threaded connection to the speakers. If you don’t mind the price, you will not be disappointed with these speakers in all but the largest spaces.
Under 5 minutes to full functioning proper hi fi. Open box, plug into mains, download app, sign in and play music with an actual stereo image. There is no Silicon Valley single box substitute for 2 channel music especially if you have a proper listening position in the room. These went into a bedroom after the Sonos gathered dust. Not generally into the plastic Kef look and relatively analytical sound but at lower bedroom listening levels their detail lets you trace instruments around a well formed soundstage. The lower octave is of course missing, but they do their best to describe what’s down there even if they can’t actually shift the air. It’s a good trade off in terms of size and as the harmonic content of say a double bass is intact, so the feel of the ... MoreUnder 5 minutes to full functioning proper hi fi.

It’s a good trade off in terms of size and as the harmonic content of say a double bass is intact, so the feel of the instrument is tangible despite the driver being unable to punch out the lowest sounds. Or add a sub. So far, no listening fatigue. Cloth panels quite cosy looking and offset the bling drivers while providing cats with somewhere to sit. The Black Friday price is solid hi fi value - you get 4 amps, 4 dacs, dsp, 4 drivers, a music streamer, a sub out, analog in etc etc. And best of all for me a Roon endpoint and no cables other than mains. In terms of ‘lifestyle’ look & convenience/size/sound the Kef’s closest competitor is the £1k PSBs that run Blu OS and are worth auditioning (slightly different sound signature) but were just a bit shiny for a bedroom.
I wanted to upgrade a pair of Sonos Play 3's that sit in our kitchen/living area and had been looking at the KEF LSX's for a while but was torn as to whether I should get these or the LS50's.Called Richer Sounds Bloomsbury to discuss and then popped in for a demo of both models. Alan was very helpful indeed and helped me get to a good decision based on where the speakers would be placed and also listened to.So got the KEF LSX's and they sound great and live up to the great reviews - quite incredible for the size they are. Appreciate many may use them as desktop speakers but they are currently easily filling a 30m squared room with great sound. Without a doubt a serious audio upgrade on the Play 3's.Granted that the LS50's sound better as you would expect for ...

Not being an audiophile, I invested in these particular KEF LSX 11 active speakers because of their size and wireless concept of listening to music with minimal clutter. The (Soundwave) model is also aesthetically very pleasing and would adorn most rooms. They are a solid, quality construction and were packed really well for delivery.I downloaded the KEF instruction manual prior to purchase and read it several times as they are quite an advancement for me and the information supplied in the box was reviewed as being minimal.Richer Sound Plymouth also arranged a demonstration for me prior to purchase.The KEF Connect App is an important component of the package that you will need. It is the key interface in setting up and controlling the speakers and I found it ...

It is the key interface in setting up and controlling the speakers and I found it relatively easy to use and later preferred it to the supplied remote control, which works well but only has certain functions.Setting up is clearly explained if you follow the prompts and only takes a few minutes.I initially connected my turntable to the speakers via Bluetooth and the quality of sound was amazing.Wifi is also a feature that links to various streaming services (Tidal was available on a 90 day free trial) that deliver music seamlessly through the KEF App.KEF recommend using a 5GHz setting on your router if you get any problems with the 2.5Ghz dropping out (as it did several times) but converting my router was a doddle and a quick press of the re-set button on the speakers allowed me to select the 5GHz address and that has solved the issue.Tidal have some MQA audio music files but to take full advantage of them you might want to wire your two KEF speakers together with the supplied lead but the outcome is truly rewarding.The speakers also allow me to listen to my favourite radio station (which I can only get on the internet) using ‘Apple Air Play’ from my phone or iPad via the WiFi function.Out of curiosity, I also purchase a RCA to Aux cable to play my records as an alternative to Bluetooth. The quality of the sound is marginally better but both methods work seamlessly through the KEF App.I am also aware there are connections for the TV, CD Player, Computer and a Subwoofer but I have not yet used these but the evidence so far suggests the sound will be amazing as well.Are they worth the investment? Difficult to answer as we will all have different opinions and expectations. They are a small, powerful, quality speaker, extremely versatile, look fantastic and their output is truly outstanding and I am thankful for the help Richer Sounds Plymouth (Bradley, Josh and Jamie) provided in demonstrating and procuring these for me. I would not want to be without them.
