Odds on this having any kind of analog/low-latency input so this can be used for home theater or gaming?
I think (IMHO) in another colour it’s awesome! I have still have fond memories of my Kef 104.2 Reference.Quite odd (ugly) design... Hope it's a fake leak.
hope its not in the ~10K$ range. $5-6K would be great but I guess we will see in weeks time maybeThat leaked image looks to have 6-6.5” woofers if the Uni-Q is the usual 5.25” (I believe all current Kef speakers are the same size). That would be the same size and number of drivers as the Blade Two. With active crossovers and DSP there’s no (engineering) reason why it can’t have an F3 <30Hz (the passive Blade Two is 33Hz with an F6 of 25Hz).
If that’s the case, and it has the same linearity and even dispersion as the other post-Meta Kef speakers, I can easily see this cannibalising their other products. The only way that wouldn’t happen is if it’s hamstrung in the SPL department or has a price approaching $10k. Imagine if it has built in room-correction - state of the art performance and all you need is a couple of electrical sockets and an internet connection
Really hope it doesn’t look like thatQuite odd (ugly) design... Hope it's a fake leak.
My guess is about 9k. Though I think this will kill their reference rangehope its not in the ~10K$ range. $5-6K would be great but I guess we will see in weeks time maybe

The drivers on the side make me uncomfortable. They remind me of rotten patches on a fruit.Thanks… Good God, they are ugly. Something about the shape of them just looks so awkward to me.
… presumably with their 165mm woofers also used in the KC62, R Series etc. Unless someone else has better info.KEF often use passive radiator so it could be 4 woofers or maybe 2 plus 2 passive radiators.
EDIT: we only have one pic so its also possible to have the only on one side (2 woofer or 1 woofer plus 1 passive radiator)
That's part of what makes Roon so powerful! I'm sure they'll be Roon Ready like the LS50 WII.Having the ability to do room correction internally would be a big deal.
Cabinet looks too narrow for this, unless they have shrunk them again. I'm thinking there are only 2 base drivers per cabinet, time will tell.… presumably with their 165mm woofers also used in the KC62, R Series etc. Unless someone else has better info.
You're right. KC62 is 10" wide, the LS60 looks to be just slightly more than half that width by the looks of the leaked image.Cabinet looks too narrow for this, unless they have shrunk them again. I'm thinking there are only 2 base drivers per cabinet, time will tell.
It actually was official though, which is likely why they're upset.Going forward. If this situation were to occur again and the poster clearly and boldly Noted something like:
Note: The attached Graphic is not Official and “may or may not” represent the final released product.
Something like this would be seen as just a reasonable guess as to the final product, and therefore avoid any potential objection from the OEM. JMHO.![]()
