KEF's Award-winning LS50 Wireless II has just got better. The all-in-one speaker system now supports hi-res audio on Amazon Music, so subscribers to the music streaming service can now enjoy any tracks labelled as 'HD' or 'Ultra HD' in the catalogue in all their high bit-rate glory.

The LS50 Wireless II is one of the best systems around, having just picked up a What Hi-Fi? Award for the second year running. They bring performance on leaps and bounds from their also successful predecessors, delivering a clean, punchy sound that's difficult to fault at this level. They also pack plenty of connectivity options, including an HDMI eARC socket to make them TV-friendly, plus coaxial (24-bit/192kHz), optical (24-bit/96kHz) and 3.5mm aux inputs.

The higher the bitrate, the more information the audio file contains, and the more detail you'll hear from the original recording, so this audio upgrade will be very welcome indeed for Amazon Music subscribers.
