Looks sweet. The measurements for the ls60, I mean
I enjoyed them, perhaps not the right choice for a really large room, sitting further away but that would go for the majority of designs.

I like the idea of the Kef LS 60, if I have to loose my lovely stereo I might as well go the whole hog and benefit from the convenience of wireless ‘all in one’ speakers.
Whilst I find the Genelec 8341 or Buchardt A10 solution attractive retaining my front end now feels like a half way house!

What’s your front end, if it is a turntable you will need it.

I run a RPi + Allo digione hat running Picoreplayer/LMS feeding an RME adi-2 fs DAC, the RPi is built into a 1970’s Sony cassette deck, complete with 7” touch screen and working cassette ‘piano keys’ and VU meters.
My turntable isn’t in use at the moment, it’s a Heybrook TT2 circa 1982. :0)

LS60: Auxiliary input jack Plays audio input from a source (e.g. turntable with phono stage) through an RCA cable

Yes the LS60 has a lot of boxes ticked, size / appearance maybe it’s Achilles heel.
Too cool!
I use them as surrounds and their size/appearance works for us.

I had some reservations at first too.
They are not taller than a standmount though and smaller to boot.
I get the impression they kind of disappear visually in white if they're standing in front of a whitish wall.
I should check them out myself, because I think they have the potential to be the successors to my current speakers.

I must try to borrow A pair to try at home, white ones would blend in well in our home.

Apparently, KEF LS60 speakers were designed to work as a stereo pair. What is the technical approach to use them as surrounds? Thanks for your time.
? I connect the SR/SL signals to them but, since they would have to re-digitize any analog inputs, I feed them S/PDIF.
Got it. I thought each of the LS60 speakers were connected via CAT6 cable.
To be completely clear, the S/PDIF is conveyed by CAT6 as is everything (analog and digital) in my system. So, S/PDIF (via CAT6) to main LS60 and regular CAT6 from that one to the other.
Crystal clear now. Thanks again.
I presume that if one lives where there is no phone signal (unless you are out on the deck & have the phone in a certain position) that these speakers (which seem like a great idea) are useless?
