KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow – In bright yellow
If you're looking for a versatile active wireless speaker that can showcase not only the sound but also the design, then you should take a closer look at the latest design version of the KEF LSX II, which KEF is offering as the KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow.
- KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow, in this new design version the outstanding compact wireless speaker from KEF shines in bright yellow.
KEF has had a very exciting range of active wireless speakers for years, the so-called KEF LS Wireless Collection. The KEF LSX II is a particularly interesting product in this model range, as it is an extremely flexible active speaker system that is ideally equipped for a wide variety of tasks, from desktop audio, as an audio solution for TVs, to use as an All-in-One system in smaller rooms, so that the manufacturer also likes to refer to this solution as the KEF LSX II WiFI Speaker.
The KEF LSX II WiFi HiFi Speaker is already available in various colours so that it can be seamlessly integrated into any living environment. The latest design variant doesn’t want to stay discreetly in the background, but rather really take centre stage in the form of the new KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow in bright yellow.
An active wireless speaker that wants to take centre stage
Until now, KEF has already offered the KEF LSX II in striking colours, as the speaker system is also available in Cobalt Blue and Lava Red in addition to the more subtle colours such as Carbon Black and Mineral White, as well as Olive Green and Soundwave by Terence Conran.
The latest design variant now presented, however, clearly stands out in any environment, because the KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow really is a radiant yellow colour.
The speaker cannot be hidden away in this colour scheme, on the contrary, it really needs to be showcased and act as a striking eye-catcher.
Small speaker, big sound
As far as the sound is concerned, it can do that anyway, because as we already stated in the test of the KEF LSX II WiFi HiFi speaker, it is a desktop audio solution par excellence. And of course the same applies to the KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow.
Based on the DSP-based signal processing of the KEF Music Integrity Engine and amplifier modules in Class D, the 11th generation KEF Uni-Q chassis are fuelled here with a system output of no less than 200 watts and deliver an impressively detailed, dynamic performance.
Flexible in use
The KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow is based on the KEF W2 Wireless Platform and can therefore be integrated directly into the network, whether via cable or WiFi, allowing streaming via Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast and UPnP and is also labelled as Roon Ready.
In addition, the KEF Connect app for Apple iOS and Google Android provides direct access to a wide range of streaming providers, including Amazon Music, Apple Music, Qobuz, TIDAL, Spotify, Deezer and Internet Radio.
An HDMI interface with ARC and HDMI CEC, an optical S/PDIF interface, a USB-C port and an analogue input in the form of a 3,5 mm stereo mini jack are available for source devices.
Of course, Bluetooth is also included, whereby this is Bluetooth 5.0, meaning that smartphones and tablets can function directly as source devices even without a network infrastructure.
It should also be mentioned that a subwoofer can be integrated via a separate RCA connection, which can be very useful in the case of such compact speakers if you want an even more superior performance, especially in the bass range.
Prices and availability
The new KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow is already available from specialist retailers at exactly the same price as the regular model. However, you should be aware that KEF is serious about the Limited Edition designation in this case and that only a very limited number of the KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow are available from selected dealers in the DACH region alone. So if you are interested in the KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow, you should buy it as soon as possible.
Getting to the point
You certainly can’t deny KEF‘s courage to use colour; the English loudspeaker manufacturer is clearly one of those manufacturers that constantly demonstrates this courage across a wide range of models. However, the special edition of the KEF LSX II is now particularly ‘colourful’, as the new design variant presented as a strictly limited edition comes in bright yellow as the KEF LSX II Limited Edition Solaris Yellow and is therefore not only an acoustic but also a visual highlight in any living environment.
