KEF LS50W Powered MusicSystem

KEF has been around for a good long while, but it’s been several years since we’ve featured one of this company’s exceptional coaxial monitors in our pages. Back in July 2013, Lorenz Rychner reviewed the KEF LS50, a coaxial passive monitor that he lauded for its exceptional clarity and detail. In this case, the W stands for Wireless—the LS50W takes the tried-and-true LS50 cabinet (still available for $1299.99/pair, not including a power amp) and adds onboard amplification and intelligence to bring it into the world of the modern home listener... or home recording musician.
