KEF LS60 Wireless Active Floorstanding Tower Speakers
The $6999.99 KEF LS60 Wireless floor standing tower speakers [product link] [YouTube playlist] [in Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, Royal Blue, or Mineral White at Amazon] are pictured below in Royal Blue. If you are willing to pay the price premium, the Lotus Edition [YouTube video] is available in British Racing Green.
Including their plinth (I learned a new word!) pedestals which keep them standing upright and also assist with air flow for heat dissipation from their built-in amplifiers, the physical dimensions of the KEF LS60 Wireless speakers are 42.9″ high, 8.3″ wide, 15.5″ deep, and they weigh about 70 pounds each.
Inputs on the primary speaker include HDMI eARC for direct connection to your TV or ultra short throw projector, TOSLINK optical, digital coaxial, analog RCA (turntable requires pre-amp), USB Type A for service, RJ45 Ethernet jack for connection to your network router (maximum source resolution is 384kHz/24bit), and a second RJ45 Ethernet jack to connect directly to the other speaker if you prefer to use the included interspeaker cable to take advantage of hard-wired 192kHz/24bit PCM instead of wireless 96kHz/24bit PCM. Each speaker has a subwoofer output.
The 12th generation Uni-Q driver array on the slim 5.1″ wide front of each active speaker features a ¾” vented aluminum dome tweeter with Metamineral Absorption Technology (a maze-like structure which absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter) powered by a 100-watt Class AB amplifier and a 4″ aluminum cone midrange powered by a 100-watt Class D amplifier. The two pairs of Uni-Core Force Cancelling 5¼” woofers are powered by a 500-watt Class D amplifier. That’s a total of 700 watts of amplification providing power for each speaker.
Frequency response is rated from 31Hz to 24kHz ±3dB measured at 85dB/1m, and maximum SPL is 111dB. A recommended optional compact yet powerful subwoofer is the $1499.99 wireless-ready (with optional KW1 adaptor kit) KEF KC62 subwoofer [product link] [in Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, or Mineral White at Amazon] which features dual 6½” Uni-Core Force Cancelling woofers powered by 1000 total watts continuous to deliver an impressive frequency response of 11Hz to 200Hz ±3dB with a maximum output of 105dB, from a small cabinet measuring about 10″ high, wide, and deep!
Streaming protocols supported on the KEF LS60 Wireless speakers are the latest Wi-Fi standards and Bluetooth 4.2, as well as Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast. They are also UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) compatible and Roon ready. Supported streaming services offered using the KEF Connect App are Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer, and QQ Music, as well as Internet Radio and Podcasts.
A simple remote control with batteries and optional floor spikes are included, as well as the two power cords, an interspeaker Ethernet cable, and the Quick Start Guide and warranty information.
