Kef LS60 wireless review by ErinsAudioCorner

Why is this speaker getting so little attention here? Too much a lifestyle speaker? The wireless problems? Not good enough? Too expensive? Too little to tune and options to play with other components?

For me, at least, they're too expensive and Kef appears to have some issues with the electronics used in the LS50, at least. Dunno if that extends to the LS60. I do have hesitation about expensive active speakers due to the fact that if any part of the electronics go bad, the whole thing is bad. Whereas with passive speakers, you can just replace the failed electronics.

True. I had to throw away a 2 1/2 year old 2000 euro costing 82 inch lcd tv because it couldn’t be repaired (said samsung).

If my phev car battery is broken, it will cost me 3500 to replace.

On the other hand, we accept this with subwoofers? I have (and had) different active speakers, never a problem, but it indeed can be a huge problem.

And the LSX if the repair thread is at all representative.

To me, it feels like it gets a good amount of attention here. I’m not sure what more one could want in that regard.

It was discussed extensively a while back, for sure been quieter lately. Reviews highly praise it, sales have been helped by price drops.

That might have been the one I was thinking of rather than the LS50.
