A couple of weeks ago I was on an away day with the rest of the What Hi-Fi? team. We held it at the KEF Music Gallery in central London, a place I’ve been lucky enough to visit (and admire) before. It’s a fantastic space where KEF showcases different speakers to existing and potential customers. There are two amazing demonstration rooms, one of which features a pair of its towering Muon loudspeakers alongside multiple subwoofers and custom-install speakers.
As I was walking around the display area in the bowels of the gallery, one pair of KEF speakers stood out from the crowd. And, surprisingly, it wasn’t the £180,000 Muon; it was the KEF LS60 Wireless. I was lucky enough to hear these high-tech towers when we tested them at launch back in 2022, but it wasn’t just their sound I was blown away by. Bumping into them (not literally) in the KEF Music Gallery reminded me just how much of an impressive feat of engineering they were at the time and still are now. And I think this needs to be reiterated.
