They are a fantastic bit of engineering . I bought them on release and they have come down in price since then. They have been worth every penny though. They are also fairly practical as the dsp gives effective room adjustment. I might add they look gorgeous,in any colour,and I think aesthetic is important when you part with hard earned money. Some look down upon streaming speakers but they are wrong to do so properly engineered they can sound superb,I think that actually worries some.

KEF LS50 wireless II in the kitchen, with a bit of Roon Muse DSP they have enough bass and otherwise just sound great.

@Adrian_Folland & @xoph, I have a pair of the KEF LS50 Wireless IIs in my bedroom and can’t believe how amazing they sound in there. I had retired them from a larger space and put them in my bedroom on a whim toward the end of last year. They sound absolutely wonderful with music and paired with my LG TV.
I don’t have wireless speakers right now, so I can’t vote … but you guys make me want to get a pair of KEF for my office.

I have only 1 wireless speaker that’s Roon Ready, a BlueSound Pulse. All my other systems are wired component systems. My main 2 channel system has a Rose RS 130 that I use with Roon RAAT.
I really wanted to buy KEF speakers. I really did. But after listening to them for the third time, the bass was clearly lacking (I don’t want an additional subwoofer) and I really miss clearness in sound. Long story short, I did something strange. After a long shoot out I ended up with ADAM Audio T5V active studio monitors and a DAC on a Raspberry (Raspberry Pi ES9038Q2m DAC audio decoder board HIFI coaxial fiber I2S analog 3B + 4B 768K 32Bit DSD512) driven by Ropieee software. Soundwise, far far away (better) from KEF.
I’m completely happy with the setup for my desktop table. Should be also fits perfect for small rooms.

Also I compare the T5V (45 hz => 25kHz) to the bigger T7V (39Hz => 25Khz).
For what reason ever. The T7V sound comperable to price and size only a 100th part of an milimeter / inches better, so I go for the T5V.
My living room setup is with RS 151. I love it.
