British audio electronics brand KEF is celebrating its 60th year of operation with the launch of the LS60 wireless floor standing sound system, which has been made in collaboration with industrial designer Michael Young. Although the system delivers notably slim speakers, it still boasts an impressive 1,400W of power thanks to its Single Apparent Source technology.
In addition, the system utilizes the brand's signature 12th Generation Uni-Q and Metamaterial Absorption Technology, which delivers highly accurate acoustics. The system also comes equipped with KEF’s Music Integrity Engine, which serves to unify the system's various sound elements.
In terms of connectivity, the LS60 comes with Bluetooth 5.0, WiFi, HDMI eAC, as well as ports for optical, coaxial, and RCA. The new system is set to drop this June and will be available to purchase on the company's website.
