Listen and believe

Really great loudspeakers simply melt away, leaving you with just the music. A pristine voice, perfectly rendered layers of instruments you can lose yourself in, sound so clear it’s as though the artist is there with you. This is what great loudspeakers with the best technology deliver.

BOOK A DEMO

Second system

I work away from home a lot, where I have my main multi unit system. The LS50 Wireless II is the ideal transportable HiFi in two units with a sound that is improving daily as they break in. I love them. The only improvement would be for them to support the new Qobuz app

LS50 Wireless II

Cinematic Sound

I bought these speakers to use with my OLED tv. Just the pair and the sound stage they create is excellent. Detailed, accurate and controlled with good depth and power when it is called for. They make the whole movie experience cinematic. Sounds are heard that my previous active speakers just did not reveal.

LS50 wireless 2

I recently replaced some old KEF speakers with ls50s. I have been reviewing options for a while and finally made my choice. What an absolute joy these things are! Mine connected first time, the app worked perfectly and my Amazon music app streams hi quality music perfectly.
Music is great - from Miles Davis to imagine dragons or biffy clyro it all sounds superb. I had experienced soundstage before but these speakers seem to place parts of the music distinctly and no frequency interferes with any other. With films there is enough bass to give effects to most action films while giving the soundtrack to
My daughter’s ‘Sing 2’ enough atmosphere to grab even me!

Best purchase in years and KEF even contacted me to tell me that I’d paid more than the Black Friday price and refunded me £200! No how often do you hear of a company doing that?
