KEF LS50 Wireless II Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Pair (Carbon Black)

The KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers in Carbon Black are beautiful speakers that offer incredible sound clarity. The speakers are on the heavier side, weighing 20lbs each, but this is likely due to the numerous components and technology inside. The sound produced by these speakers is described as warm and crystal clear, allowing the listener to hear every detail in the original recording. The inclusion of a subwoofer, such as the KC62, enhances the sound experience, providing deeper and heavier bass without sacrificing clarity in the highs. However, it is important to note that the subwoofer does not come with an RCA cable and an additional $200 adapter is required for wireless functionality. The speakers can be easily connected to a TV using TOSLINK (fiber) or HDMI (ARC) cables, allowing for volume control using the TV or KEF remote. It is also possible to connect the speakers wirelessly via Bluetooth, but this may result in compressed audio quality and potential audio lag. Additionally, streaming music throughout the house is possible by grouping the speakers using Chromecast or other streaming protocols. In terms of connectivity, only one speaker needs to be connected to the TV for optimum sound quality. Unfortunately, there are no RCA connections for a turntable, requiring the use of a 3.5mm Aux to 2 RCA Adapter Audio Cable. Overall, the KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers offer a high-quality sound experience with beautiful design. However, there have been some reported quality issues that required repairs within the first two months of use. While these issues are covered under warranty, customers are responsible for covering shipping charges.
