Have you seen the new powered LS-50 from KEF? Here's a little info from the Absolute Sound:
KEF LS50 Wireless
The LS50 Wireless is a stylish and fully active music system
whose architecture builds upon LS50’s lauded acoustic capabilities.
The LS50 Wireless has advanced DSP crossovers that correct
for inherent time delays introduced in the crossover stage,
and with KEF’s Uni-Q concentric driver arrays housed in acoustically
inert cabinets, remarkably even sound dispersion is now
attainable in virtually every room. In his CES 2017 report, Neil
Gader says of the LS50, “Sonically, it was everything I enjoyed
in the original—heft, reasonable scale and precision, plus the
added bass extension and control that are part and parcel of
the active loudspeaker experience—a segment and solution
that have achieved more high-end popularity than ever before
with the advent of computer media and network music.”
On the specs front, the LS50 Wireless features an end-to-end
192kHz/24-bit high-resolution digital signal path, two separate
DACs per channel (per speaker), and two 230-watt amplifiers
powering each channel in a bi-amp dual mono configuration.
The LS50 Wireless provides 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band WiFi,
Bluetooth 4.0 aptX, asynchronous USB type B, TosLink optical,
and RCA analog inputs. A dedicated LS50 Wireless app (iOS and
Android) facilitates network setup, streaming, playback, EQ and
speaker placement options, and DSP controls. In addition to
all this versatile technology, colors are available, with drivers
matched to cabinet finishes for a look that should make them
welcome in most listening rooms—even more so given that
only a smartphone is required to complete this soup-to-nuts
system. Price: $2199/pr. kef.com
