Ever since the 2016 launch of its LS50 Wireless stereo speaker system, KEF has been knocking it out of the park. And now there's this, the LSX II LT. It's a pared-back, more affordable variation on the LSX theme. But has the company managed to move downmarket without, you know... moving downmarket?

The LSX II LT utilises the same 11th-gen speaker driver as fitted to the LSX II. A 19mm aluminium dome tweeter is positioned at the acoustic centre of a 115mm magnesium/ aluminium mid/bass cone - the idea is to precisely position the acoustic centre of each unit in order to optimise time-alignment. Each speaker gets 100 watts of Class D power and frequency response is a claimed 54Hz - 28kHz.

At a neat 240 x 155 x 180mm per speaker, the LSX II LT will look at home on a shelf or desktop - and there are cost-option stands available too if you so desire.
