Summary
$4,000 LS Luxe speakers are now on sale as KEF’s top wireless stereo model, adding HDMI eARC, Wi-Fi streaming and optional £800 matching stands.
Current-drive amplification paired with KEF’s VECO sensing system is the key technical shift, designed to curb thermal compression and driver overextension while allowing higher output.
Each speaker combines a 12th-generation Uni-Q array with 100W Class AB and 280W Class D amplification, plus Ethernet, analogue, optical and coaxial inputs for TV and music use.
Ross Lovegrove’s rounded cabinet design uses bulk-molded compound for added rigidity, reflecting KEF’s push to deliver more performance than the LS50 in a compact wireless format.
