KEF celebrates sixty years with the LS60 Wireless


This speaker is exactly what a lot of people have been asking for, a baby Blade.

It also has a single RCA analog input for my analog tuner. Now that really has me thinking of selling my CODA 07x preamp and getting this speaker. I already have a KEF LS50 from 10 years ago that I still love. I added a KEF KC62 sub to it and it is rather good though my room is a little too big.

I was thinking of a Blade 2 META or Reference 1 META, but this baby Blade seems like a very strong substitute. The Blade 2 is rally too big for my space and the Reference 1 + KC62 maybe equivalent to the LS60 + KC62.

I am also all in on ROON.

The KEF Blade 1 has 9" woofers

Blade 2 has 6.5"

Blade 3 has 5"

The fact that the #3 has DSP may mean that it can be placed close to the front wall.

Philosophical Notes: Why The KEF LS60 Wireless Is Significant - The Absolute Sound

I agree with this article. When I look at gear now I look at price first (not for affordability sake). 

@mofojo You make a good point My passive LS50 is going strong after 10 years and thousands of hours.  

I am seriously considering selling my Livingroom system to get this. Currently I have a 10 year old LS50 with Benchmark AHB2 amp + CODA 07x preamp + Sansui T-9900 tuner + KEF KC62 sub. I lost the DAC in this system to my office system. So I am in need of a DAC for the Livingroom.

I was thinking of getting a Blade2 Meta or Reference 1 Meta to this system (with an additional AHB2). However, the placement benefits the LS60 give me will likely make this speaker better performing in my room than the Blade or Reference 1.

Though the electronics in the LS60 will not be as good as what I have now. A tough call for me.

I wonder if the KC62 sub will work nicely with the LS60?

 

 

 

I think there must be a few placement EQ modes on the LS60 app. The LS50 wireless has such modes and since everything is done digitally on the LS60, it would be easy for them to do so.
