A is KEF you can see the light on. Prefer B in general since the soundstage is wider and the separation of the instrument is clearer and the bas is punchier.
I liked speaker A for the first 2 songs, then i liked speaker B for the last song. Hard to be certain though, listening on my phone. Great comparison though !
B is louder, A has slightly softer tone , found A a little mushy, B is throwing itself on you, sounds forward, 3rd song and A started to show up the strength but still mushy sound (not sure if its my own little speaker ;), woah B sounds to be trying too hard with Beats
thanks for the great review. Wish you played classical records with several instruments and symphonies too. according to your experience what are the pros and cons of these toys?
@@DigitalPhilosophers No worries. I'm really tired of demos that are nothing but vocals, guitars and analogue in general. I don't buy a system to demo. I buy a system to listen to the music I like, which includes a lot of pop, edm, electronic music. BTW, I much preferred B. It has greater sound stage, better sparkle and the bass is much fuller.
Both sounds great! In my opinion, A is doing great for song with lots of vocal and classical music instrumentals. B is doing well with songs with electronic essentials musical instrumentals, sounds really great with the dancing music which played at the end of the video. I prefer A because I played tracks with lots of vocal mostly.
I was in a store debating between the two of these. Ended up going with the TUK’s. They were less than half the price. I think the KEF’s sound better but not enough to spend the extra. Got the TUK’s and a project debut carbon record player for a 100 CAD less than just the LSX 2’s
@@DigitalPhilosophers This is what I suspected listening to your video. Thank you for video, I was considering both these speakers but after listening to your video I wont be buying either of these. Looks like I will need to spend more to get the result I am after.
It's funny you said in the other video that the Kefs are better from home listening, wheras the Tuks are better for musical analysis on your desktop, but then the majority of people preferred the B/Tuk! IM totally torn between the Tuks and the LSX II LT's.
@@tlcall9645 I only know of Nubert who does that but that is a german company that doesn’t ship anywhere else. So I would recommend Bluesounds wireless speakers
I think A with a subwoofer would be my preference. I LOVE the "thump" of B because it just hits so cleanly, but B is missing a bit of brightness. With a proper mic setup for capturing the speakers, I think that this is a terrific format. The blind test is the way to go IMHO. In the future I suggest covering up LEDs on the speakers so that the more clever among us (that doesn't include me) can't derive any hints. Great video. Thanks for doing this work and sharing with us.
@@NikoRaappana Dang thought I replied to this last night. I have a very small 8x10 room so maybe the SB 2000 is a bit much. I think I will do it anyways around the end of the year. xD - Did you get the one that's front ported?
@@ScoobaGreek I bought them out of curiosity. Then I lnly compared them directly to the TUK. I HOPE I can compare them to Totem KinPlay and Dynaudio Xeo
I think Speaker B is more full and atmospheric. I’m listening with headphones on. I would like to hear acoustic music, not the computer-generated stuff.
Your home decoration is very nice, but you need to sound proof your room. That echo/reverb is insane! It would make the instrument separation much clearer and generally helps with sound stage. I got my A5's to sound 2x as good by sound proofing my room, it cost more than the speakers though :p Personally, I'm getting the Tuk's because I want to try a more analytical sound, but I still like a somewhat U like sound signature for electronic, pop, eclectic electronic, and basy indy rock (Cosmo Sheldrake).
I think the a sounds great in the first songs but the b sounds better in the last song... so it’s hard ... if I’m forced to pickup I think the b and I think B is the kef... but I have heard the kento are high frequency monsters, so maybe the b is the kento... ok let’s see the results !
A LSX B TUK I should have uploaded at least two demos. This one is at mid to high volume. At low volume the LSX sound way more alive than the TUK in my opinion.
I think A = KEF B Kanto A = sounds more balanced and directed, whearas the B is more boomy and the treble is sharper, probably because of the AMT tweeter.
I give 99% that A is LSX, i heard them once by dealer in middle of shop, not best position, they really played very nice and i prefered them over naim mu-so2! Even mu-so2 can lay louder. But i remeber testing kef ls50 vs atc scm 11 and scm were way better for me, more high end speaker, but after this i went to check genelec 8030 which i liked, but did not worked as nearfields in my not treated room, by dealers they were putted in some like foam shaped space, so maybe this made them sound good, so i think i will go and just take scm7 or scm11 for testing!
I found B to be more resolved in detail with more accurate bass. Livelier more engaging. Clear winner to my ears. A sounds like the music is coming out of a cave and even a few instruments are hardly audible. Would love to hear live though.
@@DigitalPhilosophers without a doubt but of course it's really impossible to tell through TH-cam. The Tuks could be too bright for me in real life. But definitely a good video 👍
I'm on the verge of purchasing one of the two. I prefer the sound of (B), the Kanto Tuk. I'm not an audiophile so you'll have to forgive my Virgin ears but the Tuk just seems to have more ROAR to it. I grew up on hip-hop and heavy metal so I need a speaker that's gonna be comfortable blasting Run/DMC, AC/DC, Redman, Iron Maiden, Public Enemy and Metallica. I have a rather eclectic ear but if you can't deliver the growl of a more "Active" style of music.....I can't deal with you.
I listen to similar music and i had mo speakrs that i ever could listen to metallica. Until i did a bit of reading and bought klipsch, love them. Now for the second setup at home i choose kanto to buy. Kef is too expensive for what it is but that ribbon tweeter suppose to do magic with high frequencys
A LSX B TUK I should have uploaded at least two demos. This one is at mid to high volume. At low volume the LSX sound way more alive than the TUK in my opinion.
@@Stephane.French.Catholic.An.33 At low volume I prefer A (LSX). For this video I turned up the volume. Then B (TUK) gets alive. Overall I would still prefer A cause I always listen to music at low to mid volumes.
I think A is the LSX: Rolled off highs, small peak in the upper bass and focused on the mids. The Speaker B sounds a little overexagerated. I looked up the frequency response of that Kanto speaker and damn. That peek at 4kHz... I like speaker a more, just cause it's a little closer to reality. Speaker b is just to unnatural.
The tuks come with tone controls for the Treble/Bass so you can adjust the AMT tweeter if it's too high for your taste. I got mine about 5/12 treble and 4/12 bass and like it there. Too much treble sounds super clear but over time it does fatigue you.
@@aeisbaer8042 if you watch JoeNTells video on them he does the comparison I am a novice in the hobby so don’t take my word for gold. Just saying that from his specific testing.
They both sound good. The KEFs have a nice airy, balanced, neutral sound. The Kanto is brighter, it has more bass but its also less accurate. This one is tough. I would have to audition them both myself.
A- seems way to bright... I think I would tire of that quickly... The tuks are obvious B- seem much fuller more heft to the sound.. I'm a 70s music lover... B for sure
A LSX B TUK I should have uploaded at least two demos. This one is at mid to high volume. At low volume the LSX sound way more alive than the TUK in my opinion.
TUKs are far more affordable and much better bang for buck. LSX defo needs a sub. Guess it's down to the type of music you play and the type of sound you like. Good comparison video though and very helpful as I was trying to decide between these two.
I like the LSX way more. The Tuks are too harsch and „metally“ to my ears, while the Kefs even if less bass and resolution sound more natural. But the most important is taste and I love the fact that you have a favorite too

I've had the Tuks for about 4 weeks now so i'm taking a long shot here... I believe the Tuks are B! Edit: I believe the Tuks are B because the high frequency's really stick out. Which leads me to believe you got that treble spiked up. Lol
I‘m getting better. My last sound demo of the ELAC Carina is better in my opinion. And I say IN MY OPINION. Not „we“. Who is your „we“? Thinking your opinion and taste of music is more right. If you want to listen to classic and jazz and acoustic instruments I recommend „real“ speakers. Not Bluetooth boxes like these.

Any opinions on which would make a better soundbar replacement?
Depending on how loud you watch TV. The louder the more I lean towards the TUK. At low and mid volumes towards the LSX
Did he answer which ones were which, I actually prefered the B's a bit more, though the tended to have some bright tendencies with the female vocals
B = TUK

Yes I go with speaker B
At higher volumes like in this video the Kanto TUK takes the lead. As I always listen at low to mid volumes the Kef LSX is more pleasing to my ear.

You can see the LSX‘s light when it starts playing
Thanks for that. I'm happy with the result.
Are the LSX recorded as per picture or on stands?
Like shown in the video
A is KEF I can see it playing
I think the a sounds great in the first songs but the b sounds better in the last song... so it’s hard ... if I’m forced to pickup I think the b and I think B is the kef... but I have heard the kento are high frequency monsters, so maybe the b is the kento... ok let’s see the results !
A LSX
B TUK

A is definitely LSX because a light turned up in the speaker you started the song.
Pssssssssssst….. 😉
A : KEF LSX
B : Kanto TUK ( AMT tweeters and aluminum driver produce clear highs and deep punch)
Am i Wrong?
I know I am quite off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?
@Grey Hugh i would suggest flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Ben Torin yea, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
