Are you looking into a multi-room speaker system? If so, no doubt you have started to realize there are many options for a whole-home audio system. You may be wondering how to choose.

There are many options for a house-wide sound system in your Chesterfield, MO-area home. Perhaps the one brand you have heard about is Sonos. Sonos is a good system that focuses on ease of use and aggregation of popular streaming sources into one app to make it easy to play one or more sources in different rooms. Like Apple, it has its ecosystem where it mostly (with a couple of exceptions) works with its own speakers. There are other wireless systems, too, like Denon's HEOS. These are popular consumer options for multi-room speaker systems that rely on a robust Wi-Fi system for larger systems.

We haven’t even mentioned Amazon, Google, or Apple! Each of these companies offers smart speakers that can also function as multiroom speaker systems. What route should you take? As in most things, it depends on what is most important to you. Let’s dive in below to help you decide. 

As a longtime KEF dealer, and the only Elite KEF dealer in the St. Louis area, Elite Technology Solutions is always excited to introduce new products. Several months ago, we wrote about the KEF LS 50 Meta update, which has high-end audio reviewers raving about how KEF managed to improve on the already stellar sound of the original LS50. 

The LS50 was a revolutionary speaker when first introduced back in 2012, bringing true audiophile sound quality to a small, contemporary design and package. It has since spawned many competitors too. KEF continues to keep the LS50 line fresh with evolutionary innovation, and now it is doing the same with a complementary subwoofer - the new KC62. Read on to learn more about this small but mighty new sub.  

The KEF Reference Series is the company's longest-running speaker line, dating back to the late 1970s. From the beginning, KEF has always set out lofty objectives for this high-end audio line. Even back in the 1970s, when computers were not common in labs, KEF used computer measurement to ensure that their high objective standards were met.

Unlike some of the other high-fidelity flagship speakers for which the company is known – the brilliant Blade, Muon, and the superb LS50 – the KEF Reference line is a complete line of speakers that encompasses towers, bookshelves, center channels, a subwoofer, and even architectural models. The goal is to provide the famous clear, transparent, detailed sound quality of KEF for any application.

Eight years ago, KEF introduced the LS50, which took the audio world by storm. It was a compact speaker with big sound and surprising clarity, fidelity, and impact for its size. Naturally, competitors rushed to copy this new success.

What made the LS50 so popular was the compact design that could fit anywhere and deliver the type of performance that satisfied serious audiophiles that might be tight on space. The LS50 also performed admirably for movies and TV sound for those that only needed (or might only have room for) a two-channel setup.

Recently KEF has updated the LS50 for even better performance. In typical KEF fashion, it’s an evolution of a groundbreaking high-end audio product, not a revolution. Read on to see if the new LS50 is right for your next compact two-channel system in Chesterfield, MO.
