KEF Wireless Speakers NZ Guide: LSX II LT vs LSX II vs LS50 Wireless II vs LS60
Share
KEF’s wireless speakers are complete hi-fi systems: amplification, streaming and digital-to-analogue conversion are built in, so you just need power and a phone. All use KEF’s Uni-Q driver, which places the tweeter in the centre of the midrange/bass cone for wide, even dispersion. Here is how the range compares and which one to choose.
The range at a glance
| Model | Type | Key features | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| LSX II LT | Compact | 70 W (LF) + 30 W (HF) per speaker, HDMI ARC, USB-C, wired link between speakers | Desks, bedrooms, small lounges |
| LSX II | Compact | Up to 24-bit/384 kHz, HDMI ARC, Roon Ready, wireless link between speakers | Small to medium rooms, minimal cabling |
| LS50 Wireless II | Bookshelf | 280 W + 100 W per speaker, Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), max output 108 dB | Main hi-fi system in a living room |
| LS60 Wireless | Slim floorstander | Uni-Core with four concealed 5.25-inch bass drivers per speaker | Larger rooms, full-range sound without a sub |
| LS LUXE | Bookshelf, luxury finish | Wireless design with premium finishes | Design-led spaces |
KEF LSX II LT and LSX II
The LSX II pair is KEF’s compact wireless system. The LSX II LT keeps the essentials — streaming, HDMI ARC for your TV and USB-C for a computer — and links the two speakers with a cable. The LSX II adds a wireless connection between speakers and Roon Ready certification. Both are excellent desktop or bedroom systems and a big step up from a soundbar for TV and music in a small lounge. Add the P1 desk pads or B1 wall brackets for better positioning.
KEF LS50 Wireless II
The LS50 Wireless II is the wireless version of KEF’s celebrated LS50. Each speaker has 280 W for bass and 100 W for treble, and the Uni-Q driver uses MAT to absorb unwanted sound from the back of the tweeter. It can play loud and clean enough to be the main system in a typical NZ living room, and it pairs well with a KEF KC62 subwoofer for deeper bass.
KEF LS60 Wireless
The LS60 Wireless is a slim floorstander that hides four 5.25-inch bass drivers in each cabinet. It delivers full-range sound from a small footprint, so larger rooms often don’t need a subwoofer.
KEF LS LUXE
The LS LUXE brings the LS-series wireless approach to a luxury finish for design-focused interiors; pair it with the S-LUXE floor stand.
Which KEF wireless speaker should you buy?
- Desk or bedroom: LSX II LT or LSX II.
- TV and music in a small lounge: LSX II (HDMI ARC), with a KC62 if you want more bass.
- Main living room hi-fi: LS50 Wireless II.
- Large room, no subwoofer: LS60 Wireless.
Prefer to choose your own amplifier? The passive LS50 Meta with a Hegel or Bluesound POWERNODE is a great alternative.
