Bookshelf Speakers — KEF LS Luxe

The LS Luxe is a fully active bookshelf loudspeaker from KEF, sitting above the Coda W with considerably greater dual-amplifier configuration and substantial cabinet mass. The LS Luxe brings KEF's more accomplished current engineering to a comprehensive active loudspeaker format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 42Hz to 28,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, a wide bandwidth. Internal amplification uses a two-way configuration totalling 280W plus 100W. At 33.6 x 22.3 x 29.8cm and 20kg, the LS Luxe's considerable weight reflects serious internal driver, cabinet and amplification engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect the coherent, point-source imaging character KEF's Uni-Q driver technology is broadly known for, combined with substantial dynamic performance reflecting the considerable dual-amplifier configuration.

Pairing

As a fully active design, the LS Luxe requires no external power amplifier, connecting directly to a source component or preamplifier with line-level or wireless streaming input.

Alternatives

KEF's own Coda W offers a more accessible, more compact active alternative within the same broader catalogue.
