New Design Variants

Amber Haze – Warm and expressive

Amber Haze introduces an earthy, warm-toned finish that emphasizes texture and visual depth. It is aimed at users who want the LSX II not only as an audio component but also as a decorative element that stands out within contemporary interiors. The combination of the structured cabinet and the identifiable Uni-Q driver creates a cohesive and confident visual statement.

Cotton White – Calm and minimalistic

Cotton White takes a different direction, designed for clean, light and unobtrusive room concepts. The matte surface helps the speaker blend smoothly into Scandinavian-influenced interiors, bright workspaces or settings where technology should remain visually discreet. This finish is especially appealing to users who prefer clarity and simplicity in their design language.

Acoustic Identity and Technology

While the new finishes broaden the aesthetic range, the sonic character of the LSX II remains unchanged. At its core is the KEF Uni-Q driver array, engineered to deliver an even dispersion pattern and precise imaging, making the LSX II well suited to nearfield listening as well as small and medium-sized rooms. KEF’s Music Integrity Engine DSP ensures that the drivers operate with optimal timing and balance, resulting in a natural, coherent presentation across genres and listening distances.

Streaming capabilities are comprehensive, supporting formats up to 24 Bit and 384 kHz through the KEF W2 Wireless Platform. The platform ensures reliable playback and integrates easily into diverse usage scenarios ranging from dedicated HiFi listening to multimedia and workspace environments.

Connectivity and System Integration

The LSX II continues to offer a broad range of connectivity options, making it a complete standalone audio system. HDMI ARC allows the speakers to function as an upgrade for television sound, while USB-C provides a direct, driverless connection to computers. Networking is possible via RJ45 Ethernet or WiFi, and once integrated, users gain access to UPnP, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Roon.

Streaming services such as Spotify (via Spotify Connect), Qobuz (via Qobuz Connect), TIDAL (via TIDAL Connect) and Deezer are supported natively. Bluetooth adds a quick everyday solution for spontaneous playback. For flexible installations, the LSX II includes a subwoofer output, an optical S/PDIF input and an analog 3,5 mm Stereo Mini-Klinke input.

The KEF LSX II in Amber Haze and Cotton White is available immediately at a price of € 1.399,- per system. Additional finishes including Carbon Black, Soundwave by Terence Conran, Cobalt Blue, Mineral White, Olive Green and Lava Red remain part of the lineup.

The system retains its strong acoustic performance, wide connectivity options and flexible placement possibilities, making it a compelling choice for listeners who value both sound quality and design-conscious integration. The new finishes underline the LSX II’s role as a compact yet premium solution for a wide range of everyday audio scenarios.
