KEF is no stranger to stylish speaker systems – just take the excellent LS50 Wireless II and LS60 Wireless as two examples of the brand’s ability to create fantastic all-in-one solutions with streaming at their heart.
And don't forget the cheaper, more recent LSX II desktop system, which is another five-star favourite of ours.
Well, it now appears another KEF hi-fi system is set to arrive on the scene next week, with a focus on not just streaming but vinyl, too. LSX II TT, anyone?
Subscribers to KEF’s newsletter have been sent a teaser e-mail which includes an image showing the top of a new speaker, with a physical record lurking in the background. It’s not exactly subtle in its placement.
The e-mail also tells readers to mark their calendar for next Tuesday, the 21st of October.
And, if you click through to the preview page on KEF’s website, you’ll find more information on what we can expect from this new system…
“We are crafting something special. Imagine experiencing the profound depth of HiFi, a speaker designed for a direct, plug-and-play connection that brings your turntable to life with impeccable clarity. Then, shift seamlessly to the untethered freedom of wireless streaming.”
The “plug-and-play” reference points to a turntable – perhaps the system will include a moving magnet and/or moving coil phono stage built in.
The page continues, “It’s designed for those who cherish the authentic crackle of a record but also demand the seamless convenience to stream anything else, anytime. Prepare to hear your favourite songs – and your cherished vinyl collection – like never before.”
We are intrigued to see how he system looks in the flesh. We are big fans of the LS50 Wireless, LS60 Wireless and LSX II, although the teaser image shows perhaps a slight departure from the smooth front baffles of those setups.
Hopefully, all will be revealed next Tuesday, and needless to say, we’ll be covering any announcement here on whathifi.com.
