If you were to give the LSX II a score out of 10 base on this video, what would you give them? Heres is a link to the official site if you want to pick them up : kef.world/u6f

Can you adjust the sound on macos (keyboard) when you connect the Kef LSX II through USB-C ?

@jameswestcott4191 2 года назад

Do you know if KEF made a network driver for MAC or Windows so it acts as an audio output via the network rather than using a USB cable?

@zerosiii 8 месяцев назад

Can I use these as studio monitors? I.e. plug the output from my audio interface as an input to the KEF LSX II?

@mst7806 2 года назад

I had a pair in red of the LSX one, but sold them after less than a year because the app (or should I say apps) drove me crazy. I hated the remote too. Good to see they've listened. Shame. They sounded great.

@xano1982 Год назад

can we use lsx 2 with usb to pc, mac, ipad like dac or soundcard?

@andreaskohn1560 Год назад

My problem is that I can't really judge how to connect the LSX I to the computer. I would think that via 3.5 mm is the best connection (just like my Logitech are connected)? For the LSX II, I would use USB.

@tjbatistasantos 2 года назад

Great comparison mate! I’m really keen on getting either these ones or the LS50 II wireless. What was your feeling on trying the LSX II in a small room (30m2) to watch a movie? Enough sound coverage and punch? Last one 😁, what would you say is the optimal way to pass the music to the speakers to get the best sound quality? Using the arc? Thanks again! Cheers

@WhatGear 2 года назад

I believe PCM is the best option for these and the LS50. For me personally, if I was buying them for movies… 100% get the sub. 30m2…the LS50 will give you a bigger soundstage but at a cost 💰

KEF has the LSX 1 on special for half price. Looking to use them hooked up via TOSLINK / computer use. Is the only issue with version 1.0 the wireless connectivity issues?

@godfrypinch2917 2 года назад

So side by side is the sound quality noticeably different from 1 to 2 would you say?

@WhatGear 2 года назад

I”With KEF’s sound engineers having 4years to work on improving the DSP. I’d say yes…however I don’t have the original LSX here so I can’t offer my own first hand opinion on that.

They sound dope brother. I'd have to get a woofer cuz I'm a deep base head but I bet they sound amazing regardless. That blue is my favorite. .

Yeh, I’ve contemplating whether or not to get the woofer… I was tempted to go for a bright colour but, since they’re going to be in the back of a lot of my videos. I didn’t want anything to distracting… Love the blue as well though

@mitchelwilson5605 Год назад

The remote looks different from the LSX 1, which was trash. It wasn't rechargeable nor bluetooth (only IR). The plastic case felt cheap, the button clicks were clunky, and the button layout makes it hard to tell what you're pressing without looking. How does the new remote compare?

@larryh9525 Год назад

I agree with your enthusiasm for these speakers, but at $1,400 they're kind of pushing the envelope of affordability. Not sure if you're in the US, but Accessories4Less is clearing out KEF's A quality refurbs at $799. Given that the drivers and the amp are the same, I'd opt for the refurbs and a Wiim Mini streamer (by passing KEF's connect app) and call it a day.

@pctom2002 Год назад

It's 2022... still using bluetooth 4.2 ?????

@WhatGear Год назад

Honestly, I’ve never used the BT. It’s not needed in my opinion. I think it’s there just as a last resort.

Goodday, I am trying go pick a speaker for my gaming set up i already own a half way decent amp i could either get the ls50 meta (€900) or the kef lsx2 (€839) in your opinion purly based on the sound wich would u like as speaker for daily use for story games and anime/music If u have reed this msg have a wonderful day😁 And i could probably pick up the ls50 meta for around €700 used

@eduardoluna236 Год назад

Product is great, but Customer Service is the worst I ever had to face in France, months to get KEF LSX repaired and still waiting with a very poor communication quality, arguing the component shortage but at the same time selling massively, it just doesn't make sense. Be aware if you are willing to buy any KEF product, you will certainly be disappointed despite the excellent quality of the product.

@WhatGear Год назад

Sorry to hear that. Did you buy it straight from KEF?

@eduardoluna236 Год назад

@@WhatGear I bought them through a reseller but contacted directly KEF and they are having component shortage issues but as I mentioned they are still selling new products without any issue and poorly communicating with customers

In Germany i got mine LSX 1 back after 3 Weeks, the Network module broke and got replaced. Had no real problems, but repair is a 3rd party company here in germany doing the official support for KEF and other HIFI brands not KEF itself.

I have the LS50, ls50w, lsx I, dynaudio xeo 20, and about 10 other pairs of speakers. I've used the lsx with sub and without. They still can't beat the ls50w for larger spaces. For smaller spaces like a bedroom or small pc room the lsx I are detailed and do well. I would not pay extra for the lsx ii, as I don't need the extra connectivity and would rather by a high end streaming device with room correction than pay extra for the lsx ii

Will the lsx1 work with my Mac mini m2 , wired or wireless I believe new the lsx2 can connect usb c and do USB Type-C (up to 24-bit/96kHz) and and both lsx1/2 have a toss link 24-bit/96kHz but I don’t see this inputs on the Mac mini 2 only headphone jac usb c, Thunderbolt 4 and 1 hdmi

@groovemaster1978 6 месяцев назад

With not using the original LSX speakers to compare these to (which the title suggests), makes this video rather pointless and just a comparison between theoretical specs.

@CDPA7 3 месяца назад

They arent targeted for the frugal Thank goodness

@LuisXGP 3 месяца назад

@@CDPA7 Is not that I can't afford it... frugal, maybe, but not in the normal way. As I said, I can afford it but that is not the end of the problem. A top notch component, need top notch partners. For example, a $70usd PC Monitor won't be able to fully use the power of a $1000 gpu video card. Same for a $700 cpu, it will throttle in a $70 motherboard with its $10 stock heatsink. Computer is an easy subject, there aren't that many variety of components to be concerned about and it has become as easy as to chose an equivalent $$ piece. For example, a $500 motherboard for a $500 CPU will work fine. But audio can be much more complex. Starting for special energy cables, special power filters purifiers, special audio cables, special audio dacs, special audio amps... if the speakers are $1600, the dac/amp should be at least $800 each one... so we are really talking about a $3200 investment. And lets not talk about the stands, the mufflers and space design... Although I cannot afford it all at once, surely I can buy all that within a year, but the added complexity of chosing the right components to pair those speakers is what really stops me. I once had DT880 600ohms and I couldn't driver them properly with a Shit Magni, neither with the Objective 2 amp (both supposedly able to drive 600ohms)... maybe because those were $100 amps for a $300 headphones, but my biggest fear was, what if I buy a $300 amp and I still can't get it to make it work right ? What if I still need a $300 dac ? I currently own Klipsch Promedia 2.1, Hivi Swans OS-10, HK Onyx Studio 4 and Klipsch KHO-7... the 60w of Onyx are very capable to drive some bassy power even at half power (30w on battery), but the 150w of kho7 arent capable of delivering that kind of bass, even if EQed, it doesn't get the proper feeling. Same with the Swans, the bass range is big but the response is lacking compared with the Promedia (which has smaller/"weaker" speakers). So yeah, it is frugality, but in a sense that I won't expend blinded that kind of money for a sound that may not be what I would want to get for that amount of money. Sorry for the big text, kinda hard to simplify it.
