Overview
- KEF announced the LS LUXE on Thursday as a self‑contained, high‑end wireless hi‑fi pair priced at about $3,999–$4,000 per pair and offered in Eclipse Black, Dusk Titanium, and Mineral White.
- Each LS LUXE speaker houses a 6.5‑inch 12th‑generation Uni‑Q coaxial driver, a 1‑inch vented aluminum‑dome tweeter at the woofer’s acoustic center, and dedicated amplification with a 100W Class AB tweeter amp and 280W Class D woofer amp per speaker.
- The speakers introduce KEF’s Velocity Control Technology (VECO), which uses a velocity sensor and closed‑loop correction to reduce bass distortion, and retain Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) to absorb rear tweeter emissions and cut high‑frequency stray reflections.
- Connectivity is broad: KEF’s W2 Wireless Platform supports major streaming services and protocols and lossless formats up to 24‑bit/384kHz and DSD, while HDMI eARC, analog, optical, coaxial inputs and a subwoofer output cover TVs and physical sources; KEF offers S‑LUXE stands and a KC62 subwoofer for deeper bass.
- Early hands‑on reviews praise a more room‑filling, punchier presentation than the LS50 Wireless II and note the LS LUXE’s sculptural design and turnkey setup through the KEF Connect app, continuing KEF’s long history of pairing industrial design with its Uni‑Q acoustic legacy.
