I believe the R sale is supposed to end tomorrowInteresting Q and R still on sale
Interesting idea. That would be awesome.Assuming it is the LSX II - I hope they add wisa to enable them to be used as wireless surrounds, they would be a really nice choice for that application.
No I think its until 31st. But if you go to a hifistore and negotiate they knock the prices down further. I got R11 for 3600, but with a 2 months of the waiting timeI believe the R sale is supposed to end tomorrow

Where…? Do you work at KEF or are affiliated in any way with GP ACOUSTICS UK LTD ?Soon we will see new KEF speakers. I saw them.

There has been an accidental leak on one of their youtube videos (now offline) of LXS II, and a blade prototype with metamaterial, bot those are just refreshments of existing line up.
I don't work for KEF's company.
I am a KEF's user and bought Blade and Reference serials.
I believe most dealers should know these new KEFs.That means you're not under NDA and you can tell us what to expect.
Care to give us any more info at all? Which series are being refreshed? Is it just addition of meta or a whole overhaul? When will these products be announced, and when will they be available?I believe most dealers should know these new KEFs.
Kef just posted on their Facebook page that in October, to celebrate their 60 years anniversary, exciting things will follow.
Maybe the Reference Meta or who knows what goodies are prepared for us.

You got to understand KEF is going full house into the actives and lifestyle segmentation, aka LSX, LS50 W, KC62, etc.2022 came and still no definite news after the teaser 3.5 months ago. New Reference series in April? Very SPOTIFYesque move. As good as the Reference series is (cf Reference 4C review -- thanks Amir!) its price range means that it is out of reach for many.
I think there is a lot they could do in other areas of their product line. Room correction on their active speakers. R3 based active speaker. User tunable FR. Cardiod design...
I'm still worried about how long their powered speakers will last and how much it'll take to repair them out of warranty. Kind of stressful for me getting LS50 Wireless II for $2800 and to have the amp maybe malfunction or something. Genelec has a good track record of repair. I'd rather get LS50 Meta and a $330 amp, and if it breaks I can replace it ez.You got to understand KEF is going full house into the actives and lifestyle segmentation, aka LSX, LS50 W, KC62, etc.
And we are currently living a world wide chip shortage, energy and logistics crisis.
This has affected their planned roadmap (insider info), hence no new products even if they have turned 60 years and wanted to celebrate. It’s pretty much the same situation for a lot of manufacturers.
I can only speak from personal experience. My original LS50W had an issue powering on after 3 plus years of service.I'm still worried about how long their powered speakers will last and how much it'll take to repair them out of warranty.
