It costs more and is reserved for the more expensive speakers with UNI-Q units, such as the LS50 II, LS50 Wireless II and LS 60 Wireless.

It’s not upgraded with KEF’s MAT (Metamaterial Absorption Technology) plate, which absorbs resonances behind the unit. In other words, the highest possible sound quality is aimed at from the small speakers, which use a familiar speaker unit: the KEF coaxial UNI-Q unit, here in its 11th generation and 11.5 cm in size, with a 19 mm tweeter in the middle. LSX II I edition called Soundwave by Terence Conran Edition. The speakers have playback over AirPlay 2 and Chromecast and support audio formats with DSD and MQA files – but also PCM, up to 24-bit/384 kHz. You can then stream audio files up to 24-bit/96 kHz, and if you connect the speakers together with the included CAT6 cable, you can stream up to 24-bit/192 kHz. You can choose to stream music wirelessly with Bluetooth or over Wi-Fi directly to the speakers, or even better: stream high-resolution audio from Tidal or Qobuz via the router connected to the speaker with Ethernet. Then you really are getting serious sound quality from a pair of the smallest wireless speakers we’ve tested. Or wirelessly to the phenomenal KEF KC62, which is a very suitable sub for a pair of LSXs. It can also be connected to an external subwoofer from the output on one speaker.
