KEF LS60 Wireless £6,000

Launched for KEF’S 60th anniversary, these all-in-one streaming stereo speakers are something special. They’re elegantly slim – remarkably so, given that they have 1,400W of combined power – and will play from virtually any source up to 24-bit/192khz. There’s support for Airplay 2, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, to name a few, plus inputs for HDMI (EARC), optical, coax, Aux-in, and a subwoofer, not that you’ll need one.

The speaker configuration boasts a single Uni-q driver – with a 19mm tweeter sat in the middle of the 10cm driver – and four backto-back 5.25-inch drivers that brilliantly enable the low, mid and high frequencies of whatever you’re playing to radiate from a single point, creating a huge soundstage and virtually no sweet spot.

Whatever I played through the LS60 Wireless sounded gobsmackingly good, and I’m in awe of how well the slender speakers handled lower frequencies. The timing and authority are truly remarkable for a streaming system, with the scale and power of a full orchestra and the nuance of a single instrument both thrillingly present. Getting to spend time at home with speakers as good as these was an absolute privilege. Kef.com
