The KEF LS LUXE brings sculpted design and serious sound to one compact wireless pair. Designed with Ross Lovegrove, its sculpted cabinet is the first KEF wireless speaker he has created, and it houses KEF’s 12th-generation 6.5-inch Uni-Q driver with Metamaterial Absorption Technology, which KEF says absorbs 99% of unwanted rear sound from the tweeter. A new Velocity Control Technology monitors the driver in real time for cleaner, more accurate sound.
Why it stands out
12th-gen 6.5-inch Uni-Q driver with Metamaterial Absorption Technology
Velocity Control Technology (VECO) for real-time driver correction
Powered by a 100W Class AB amplifier plus a 280W Class-D amplifier per speaker
Lossless wireless audio up to 24-bit/384kHz through the W2 platform

Setup and control through the KEF Connect app
