My favorite car dealing channel and now you're reviewing the KEF LS50 Wireless speakers I just bought? Yeah, this made my day. Great review. I need to do a deep dive as see where you reviewed your Focals and the McIntosh system. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
I just love it when you do home electronic reviews! You talk about these speakers with such passion, you can tell you really enjoy listening to them. They look incredible. Thanks for sharing Pan.
Pan TheOrganizer I discovered your channel when I searched for KEF LS50 powered speakers. By the way I found KEF LS50 from a 10 Best ranking from EZ Vid Wiki, a source I trust.
Great introduction to the KEF LS50W. Than you Pan. I also enjoy your auto detaining videos very much. I am curious. What specific sooundbar you have under the TV ?
Thanks Al. Since this KEF video, I moved into a brand new home with an entirely new custom home theater which you can see in this recent video: th-cam.com/video/TbKlIWm_cbM/w-d-xo.html And in my living room, I have a new flagship Sony Bravia XR Master Series A90J 83" 4K OLED TV with a Yamaha YSP-2700 soundbar and wireless sub. You can see my living room setup in this video: th-cam.com/video/w9QXq9lt7wc/w-d-xo.html
I demonstrated these along with the Elac Navis arb 51’s and went for the latter. The fact You can bypass the internal DAC and use something such as the Chord Cutest with 5hem sold it for me. Both sounded amazing but again the Navis just edged it.
Great video. Detailed yet to the point. Thank you. Can you please also mention where did you get the stands for these speakers? And does attaching these speakers to the stand affect their sound quality in any way?
I like your tv stand under your wall mounted tv. Looks great with the white speakers. Any info on where it was purchased? Thanks. Your videos are great.
It was purchased at a high end furniture store in Montreal. It can’t be ordered online unfortunately. Thanks for your kind comment by the way! How did you discover my channel?
Pan TheOrganizer Thanks for your quick response! Found it while searching car detailing videos. Will be ordering products you use and hopefully some kefs one day.
Thanks for the video. How do you compare KEF sound to Focal? I have Aria 926 but my wife is not happy about their size :/ I am thinking to replace Arias with a pair of bookshelf speakers. Will I loose much with KEF LS50 in your opinion? Cheers
Your Focals are a floorstanding model so the sound will be richer, but the KEFs are incredible. Sound stage is wide, bass is surprisingly good and it’s as compact a package as it gets. No need for external amps, preamps, etc. Two different sound signatures but the KEFs sound sharper/clearer. By the way, I upgraded my speakers to the new Focal Kanta v2 and added a REL S/3 SHO subwoofer. Killer sound!
I have upgraded my Focals to the new Focal Kanta v2 and added a REL S/3 SHO subwoofer. You can’t compare a 30K hi-fi system to 2500$ wireless speakers. But for anything under 7-8K, the KEFs are amazing.
Hi Pan, out of curiosity, what do you think of Bose speakers and headphones? I have Bose speakers and they're amazing. What makes you decide on speakers you choose for you listening, regardless if they're wireless?
Bose are very good, just not quite Hi-Fi... They are good value. For example, I reviewed my Bose QC35 headphones here: th-cam.com/video/4klHcrhjEUQ/w-d-xo.html But my AudioQuest NightHawk headphones are better (and double the price) which I reviewed here: th-cam.com/video/Ol_6bk6vE-w/w-d-xo.html So in the case of speakers, Bose doesn’t make stereo speakers at the level of KEF like the LS50W... Bose is more mass market. KEF is a Hi-Fi high end brand like Focal, Sonus Faber, etc.
No dedicated 2 channel system at the moment, but do have a 5.1 system based around the Focal Chorus 716 floorstanders, an older Denon 4311ci AVR and Power Sound Audio S1500 sub. Computer rig has JBL LSR 305 monitors(these are excellent!). I had KEF Q100 at one point but have always wanted to try the LS50 ever since they were released.
I so want these! Can't afford to have a dedicated music only setup so I might just get the R700s to replace my Q500s in my 5.1 setup then get a decent integrated amp or all in one like the Naim Uniti Nova connected to the pre outs on my AVR. Should get a good deal on the R700 now that the new R series is out.
This speaker are useless if you are relaying to use streaming, their apps are useless. This problems normally never disucussed during review because they don't have time to review it properly.
Hello, Kef LS50W or LS50? I plan to use either of these with a Parasound A21+ Amplifier and P6 Pre-Amplifier. What do you recommend to use to keep these speakers in place on the speaker stands? Thanks in advance.
Hi Richard. First, thanks for watching. The LS50W takes the guessing game away from trying to find the optimum combination of pre-amp, amp and DAC. It's a no brainer. The engineers took all that guessing work and product testing away from you. That being said, I have never had the chance to test the normal LS50's in my home, with my equipment, so it's hard to tell.
Oh yes! This setup you will see is my third one. I won’t reveal the details about the new one until the video, but previously I had Sonus Faber towers hooked to a Rega Elicit amp and Rega Saturn cd player, I also owned a pair of Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand speakers... I love Hi-Fi and home theater too.
hi nice video. i thought about to get the first ls 50w because its 1500€ against 2800€ in germany. my question is did they updated their app? i have heard that it was a big problem when they released the ls 50w and can you change the left and right chanel in the app like with the new ones? because i plan to place the master on the left of my tv. and finally is there a big difference between the use of the optical against the hdmi like with the new ones. ah and last but not least: can i create different eq profiles for tv or music ? thanks i advance. you got a new subscriber :)
Hi. I have sold this pair a few years ago already, so I don't remember much unfortunately. What I can say is when I had them, I had zero issues. They have a newer version now, that has been further improved. I like changing gear often. I upgraded to a high end stereo setup in this video: th-cam.com/video/J3YiaYC7s4k/w-d-xo.html And a month or two after that video went live, I upgraded again by getting new higher end Focal Kanta V2 speakers and added a REL S/3 SHO subwoofer. Heheh. How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for answering me. I was typing ls50 wireless and scrolled through the videos so i discovered yours. I hope it works flawlessly like yours.
That depends on what your ears perceive as sounding good, as each person is different. I always recommend that a person goes to listen to a pair of speakers before buying.
At this price point, maybe one Phantom Gold if you get a good deal. Ths new KEF LSX are the new models, smaller than LS50W, but way less expensive and still very good.
If i buy this speakers,do i need an integrated amp or i can trust the built in amp ?? If was,is there any sound improvement from an integrated amp?? Thanks before 🙏
You don’t need an external amp. That’s the purpose of these speakers. The engineers used amplifiers for each driver and so the amps are perfectly matched to the speakers. No need to try and find the perfect amp for your speakers as you normally do in a traditional HiFi setup.
Hi Pan, great video. I am interested in wireless speakers for my living room. I would like to use them for both TV and music listening. What is your opinion on Sonos wireless speakers? Thanks for all your awesome videos!
I'm an audiophile and was watching Steve Guttenberg's channel and saw your system with the cambridge audio cxn and was going to buy this product so I clicked and I'm impressed with your channel!
Worth pointing out that people can have issues in finding a truly sympathetic match in terms of amplification for the original LS50s. They are, definitely, great speakers, but can be fussy. One of KEFs reasons for doing the active version was to bypass that, and let the speakers hit their full potential. This, I think most will agree, they have succeeded in. 😎
Bonjour Pan. Merci pour ton viéo sur les KEF LS50W. J’en ai fait l’achat dernièrement j’aimerais savoir si tu les à garder? Moi j’ai juste un peux de difficulté avec les settings de l’apps. Aurais des infos à ce sujet? Merci encore pour tes bon conseils. Grace
Oui je les ai encore. Tout fonctionne à merveille. Mais je me sers seulement de l'appli pour faire jouer des chansons. Je ne "joue" pas avec les réglages.
Old video so you probably won't respond. But on the off chance you do, would these speakers be good for a stereo home theatre setup paired with a subwoofer(KUBE 10b). I'm not doing surround sound in my living room and I'd like to have a really good stereo setup. I know these probably can't handle the low end from explosions and fx in movies so I would think that combining it with a decent subwoofer would make it a great option. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on doing this, perhaps the ls50w are just not a good option for movie and show watching. I also listen to music but mostly tv. If there is something you think is better I'd love to hear another suggestion.
This was the first generation, which required a link cable between the speakers. The second generation LS50W wireless don't need an interconnect link anymore. It's all wireless.
I now have Focal Kanta v2 but even the Aria setup blew the LS50 out the door. You can’t compare floor standers with bookshelves in my opinion plus it’s a different price bracket.
Hey pan As always great info video Love the various set ups you have My home theatre I went with Yamaha speakers as they were a force with CD when they came out withDDD discs Looking for advice on outdoor Bluetooth speakers any suggestions?? Appreciate it B
At what pricepoint? My favorite Bluetooth speaker in the 200-300$ range is the JBL Xtreme which I reviewed here: th-cam.com/video/8elB6tlMo8Q/w-d-xo.html
Hi Pan, What I cannot find on the web and also not in the review is if The LS50 wireless can be integrated in my (Kef 3005 7.1) home cinema system and replace the 2 front speakers. That would be great as you can combine their musical wireless ability with the great performance as fronts in home cinema? But is it possible? I have got a Denon AVR-X4200W But how would I connect it then? Via aux? Or analog inputs? This is the deciding factor for me to buy them... would be very excited although.
Is there any alternative app for this speakers? KEF Stream app is the most bugy audio app ever. I just love sounds stage from KEF but the rest sucks. Cannot use Google play music with KEF, directly. I Wish this speakers have app and connectivity as Sonos.
Hi, I have Yamaha Hs8 studio monitors and wanted to see if you know how big the sound difference is. I know they aren't in the same category but that's what I have as my reference. Thanks!
I also have Yamaha HS8 studio monitors (check out my office your video on my channel) and the KEF are in another league. You can't even compare. The price is entirely in another world. It wouldn't be fair to compare them.
Bass is relative to each person. Some people are bass heads and others not as much. These can definitely go down and generate serious bass for compact speakers, but for sub-bass all the way down to 20 Hz and if you want the home theater experience, then you’ll need a sub.
Nice set up. You're o one of the first to set up a sub to these. That's saying a lot. Crib looks great for an all around audio experience. Kudos. You're giving me more of an insensitive to buy these MF. All I heard is awesome audiophile ish about them. They stand alone in their category...👍👍👍
You should have made clear (incl. pictures) that you for this (first edition) need an inter-speaker cable! Thats a very important fact för a wireless speaker review, is it not? You can still buy this version so you can easily be fooled to buy something that isn't working for you.
does anyone know how long is the inter-speaker wire? I am looking to make someone a Christmas present and I need to know if I can actually place them in his home. I need them to be 4-5 m apart. Thank you.
Logitech Z series have always been great value. But yeah, you're right, these KEFs are the bomb! If you ever have a chance to listen to a pair, you just might have to buy them! :) Thanks for watching Theodore!

Worth pointing out that people can have issues in finding a truly sympathetic match in terms of amplification for the original LS50s. They are, definitely, great speakers, but can be fussy. One of KEFs reasons for doing the active version was to bypass that, and let the speakers hit their full potential. This, I think most will agree, they have succeeded in. 😎

Yeah with a sub they're sick.
Does this speakers require cable to connect left and right speakers or wirelessly connected?
This was the first generation, which required a link cable between the speakers. The second generation LS50W wireless don't need an interconnect link anymore. It's all wireless.
So if the internet connection is down there's no music. No can do.
You can connect a CD player or a PC and listen to music from those sources. Pretty much like any other amplifier these days.
What? Where do you get that from? You can hook your turntable, CD player, cellphone, ipad, iphone or PC if you want.
How's the LS50 compared to your focals? Thanks
I now have Focal Kanta v2 but even the Aria setup blew the LS50 out the door. You can’t compare floor standers with bookshelves in my opinion plus it’s a different price bracket.
Could I use these instead of a sound bar? How clear are they for human speech?
You absolutely could. These are higher quality than most soundbars. Anything under 2000$ these KEF speakers will obliterate.
More reviews like this!
Thanks William!
would these bluetooth connect to a google home mini to give me super upgraded sound quality do you think??
Hey pan
As always great info video
Love the various set ups you have

At what pricepoint?
My favorite Bluetooth speaker in the 200-300$ range is the JBL Xtreme which I reviewed here: th-cam.com/video/8elB6tlMo8Q/w-d-xo.html
If you use the analogue connection from a integrated amp will it by pass the DAC in side? (Example you them for vinyl and streaming)
Can I play music directly from Spotify connect? I don’t want to use the KEF app
Hi Pan,
What I cannot find on the web and also not in the review is if The LS50 wireless can be integrated in my (Kef 3005 7.1) home cinema system and replace the 2 front speakers.

But is it possible? I have got a Denon AVR-X4200W But how would I connect it then? Via aux? Or analog inputs?

Yes you can.You use the front pre outs directly to the RCA inputs in the LS50s.
I like your review with coincidence driver at 7:55 :))

Yes. They are excellent, but the LS50W is in a different league. More power, fuller sound, more bass.

Hı can you explain kef ls 50 wireless vs kef x300 what is the differences about music quality, bas, stage, clearance .....?
Never heard the X300
I have both more bass compared to x300 which is flat.
does one need wifi to install them or an i install direct from the ethernet cable ?
DSP means digital signal processing not sound processing.
You should have made clear (incl. pictures) that you for this (first edition) need an inter-speaker cable! Thats a very important fact för a wireless speaker review, is it not? You can still buy this version so you can easily be fooled to buy something that isn't working for you.
It is clear as I show that cable in the video and talk about it…
On KEF being tier 1 manufacturer, I read that these are made in China. Anyone able to confirm from a reliable source?
Please put their response curves at listening position @ 2dB scale to get an idea of their quality
does anyone know how long is the inter-speaker wire? I am looking to make someone a Christmas present and I need to know if I can actually place them in his home. I need them to be 4-5 m apart. Thank you.
I put all the specs in the description. The inter-connect cable is 3m in length.
It´s 3 M out of the box, but you can buy your own CAT 5 cable to suit your needs.
No Chromecast? For this price I don't want a dongle. Gonna try the Teufel system M first.
Hi pan, have u ever tried dynaudio xeo 2, how this kef ls50w compared to xeo 2?
I haven't unfortunately.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for the reply pan
Cool. I want them as well :)
Oh you would absolutely love them! I've heard speakers three times the price that don't sound as good as these!
How could would they be for classical music.

Hello about the bass of this speaker, isn't it small?
It doesn't have the deeper bass response of floor standing speakers that is for sure, but still has nice punchy bass.
@@PanTheOrganizer thank you so much
My pleasure. How did you discover my channel?

I love my logitech z906, great bang for your buck, those speakers look awesome though, way out my price range 😂
Logitech Z series have always been great value. But yeah, you're right, these KEFs are the bomb! If you ever have a chance to listen to a pair, you just might have to buy them! :)
Thanks for watching Theodore!
❤️
the input display is on the top, can't see it from my listening position
Seems to me that wireless speakers should have no need for wires.
can you connect a turntable to it? Unpowered.
What are these like up against a naim muso 2.
I want to get back into audio. Will you be using CarPro on these? lol.
😂
Can you please do the KEF LSX ?
I will look into that. They seem like great speakers!
Wow pan
That was quick
Pricepoint say 1500 or so
Will pay more if really good
It’s 2200$ USD
Lsx or dynaudio xeo 2?
I haven’t heard the new LSX but I would tend to gravitate towards those.
Sad, when we were kids a fifty inch was the best!!
When I was young, in the 80’s, the biggest TVs were 27 inches lol
Pan TheOrganizer I'm talking about the eighties the Rich guys alone had them but the Sharp Lintron works too this day !!!
Very impressive on paper but i just cant stop thinking they look ugly to me.
If you don't like the way they look, I can respect that. Each person has different tastes.
I can't afford these. Want to give them to me???
That's a good one!
Same. I'll stand in line. I have some £600 speakers but can't can't afford £2000.
A 100"screen??? What!!!
Yes sir! Watch my custom home theater video: th-cam.com/video/L6Y1r3eRSjk/w-d-xo.html
Pan TheOrganizer I watched it as the vlog came out did you try a PS4 or an Xbox one on it to see if it lags?
Bluetooth 4.0 Not 4.2
No AirPlay? Boooo!
