Introducing the KEF LS60 Speaker - The Future of Wireless Hi-Fi
KEF Builds a New Speaker for the Digital, Connected Era
If you are familiar with KEF speakers, you know two things about them – they never shy from innovation and are always on a quest for a higher level of audio performance. This showed with the radical high-end KEF Blade super speaker, a vehicle for KEF innovation passed on to lesser models. KEF’s innovation was also found in the LS50 Collection, a universally lauded small speaker for audiophiles with smaller spaces.
On the heels of the highly successful LS50 comes the LS60, the tower version – but so much more – of the LS50 Wireless all in one speaker. Is it just a bigger version of the LS50? In some ways, yes, but it’s part of KEF’s drive to bring hi-fi into more homes with sleek design, simple operation, and above all, superlative audio performance. Read on to see if the new LS60 is right for your St. Louis, MO listening space.

All-In-One Design
With the popularity of wireless speakers like Sonos and a host of others, all-in-one systems are popular these days. They are convenient, and many sound very good, but few can be described as hi-fi. Not so with the LS60 Wireless. As with the LS50, KEF has used its acclaimed Uni-Q technology to achieve even sound dispersion and enlarge the sweet spot. They also used the Metamaterial Absorption Technology from the LS50 to reduce distortion from the driver. And they adapted the Uni-Core technology with force-canceling bass drivers – used to deliver amazing bass in a small size in the KC62 subwoofer – for superior bass from a slim tower speaker. To power the drivers, the LS60 packs 1400 watts of Class AB and Class D amplification, with amps perfectly matched to each driver.
Listen to Anything and Everything
It is a wireless speaker, but the LS60 also allows for a host of built-in connections. Connect your smart TV through HDMI, a turntable through the RCA input, and digital sources like a CD player through optical or coaxial. But the real convenience of the LS60 comes in its streaming prowess, with support for Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and other popular services. It also supports Apple Airplay2 and Chromecast for connectivity with any device ecosystem. There’s also Bluetooth, Roon, and support for MQA high-resolution formats. It’s all effortlessly controlled through the intuitive KEF Connect app, and the speaker works through both Wi-Fi and Ethernet wired connections.
Attention to Detail
This is a beautiful speaker that fits into any room. With elegant, contemporary colors in matte blue, white, and gray, it will blend in or stand out as you wish. Impossibly slim at 5 inches wide and 6.3 inches deep, this tower speaker’s space requirements belie its high performance.
If you love hi-fi sound without bulk and complexity, the LS60 Wireless might be your dream come true. To learn more, call us at (636) 939-4474, schedule a showroom visit, or reach out on our contact page. We look forward to working with you!
