KEF LS60 Wireless Review: Slim Smart Floorstanders
All-in-One Streaming Meets High-Fidelity Elegance
The KEF LS60 Wireless is a revolutionary floorstanding speaker system that combines elegant design, powerful amplification, and cutting-edge wireless streaming. As the world’s first single-body active stereo floorstander with KEF’s Uni-Core and Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), it redefines what high-end hi-fi can be in 2025. In this review, we explore how the LS60 Wireless delivers true audiophile performance without the clutter of traditional systems.
Design and Build
Designed in collaboration with Michael Young, the LS60 Wireless sports a super-slim 13cm profile that blends into any modern living space. Despite its compact footprint, it feels premium and solid, with curved surfaces and KEF’s signature minimalist aesthetic.
The cabinet is fully sealed and internally braced for acoustic integrity, while the drivers are perfectly flush with the front baffle. Available in Titanium Grey, Mineral White, and Royal Blue, the LS60 Wireless looks as refined as it sounds.
Technology and Drivers
At the heart of the LS60 Wireless is KEF’s 12th-gen Uni-Q driver with MAT, delivering pinpoint imaging and natural mid/high frequency response. Bass duties are handled by Uni-Core force-cancelling drivers—twin 5.25" woofers per speaker housed back-to-back for deep, tight low-end with minimal distortion.
The LS60 offers a true three-way design in an all-in-one format. MAT absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter, while the advanced DSP and crossover ensure perfect phase alignment across all frequencies.
Streaming and Connectivity
The LS60 Wireless is a complete streaming system with support for:
- Wi-Fi (dual band) and Ethernet
- AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, and Roon Ready
- Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Amazon Music
- Bluetooth 5.0
Wired inputs include HDMI eARC, optical, coaxial, analog RCA, and a subwoofer output. The KEF Connect app allows full control over input selection, EQ, balance, and firmware updates.
Amplification and Processing
Each speaker in the LS60 Wireless system features four amplifiers: 500W for bass, 100W for midrange, and 100W for treble, totaling 1400W system-wide. The amplification is Class D (low-frequency) and Class AB (mid/high), providing excellent dynamics, clarity, and low noise.
KEF’s Music Integrity Engine™ manages DSP crossover, time alignment, and distortion control—ensuring coherent sound regardless of volume or source.
