Saw this in my inbox today:

Translated by AI. Expected on july 30th. Will this be a Kef LS65?

A new definition of luxury, soon to be revealed

A new definition of luxury is about to unfold, one where visual artistry and acoustic mastery are composed as one. Sculptural in form. Effortless in sound. Our latest creation is made for those who listen deeply.

Judged by the looks, Kef mentioning the Muon and luxury, my guess is it's an upgrade for 1 model higher in the chain.

Is the first image the outline of the speaker or is it a bigger waveguide ala Blade?

 

[Puddingbuks]

Judged by the driver size this will be a small speaker.

Uni-Q is a small driver even on the Blades.

Luxury is usually reserved for Muon. Let's see.

Price will be in diamonds...

Muon was shaking rooms (not rumble, tight impact) back in the day.

If the Uni-Q driver shown defines a narrow baffle it will need more drivers than the Muon to do the same.

Let's wait and see...

Looks like a small ovoid active speaker - like a high-end LS50W:

Judging by the rubber surround of the uni-q it will be a 2 way design; most likely a better LS50W

Looks like a high end Egg on an integrated floor stand

Luxury sounds unnecessary expensive.

If it offers better performance than the LS 50 Meta i would be interested, esepcially since i need a all black speaker for my Tv set up. I hope its not just a fancier and much more costly LS50 meta with the same performance.

KEF's marketing department would like to thank everyone for their speculation about this yet-unreleased speaker.

 

[wavesharp]

it is a upgraded LS50W

 

[Marc v E]

If it the new ls50 I wonder if they extended the low frequencies a bit. That was ime it's main point where things could be improved for sub integration.

 

[voodooless]

My guess would be an active mini-blade

Luxurious = Expensive ≠ Good

Given the port and the location of the electronics on the back, it is a small 2-way active speaker. KEF does not use a port on the LS60 Wireless 3-way active speaker, and it probably is better without it.

The question is whether the new speaker will replace the LS50 Wireless II, or is being added higher in the product stack.
