You don't need huge speakers to get premium sound. A small system can do the job admirably, filling your room with sweet-sounding music without taking up much space.
The KEF LSX is testament to that. The compact all-in-one system won a What Hi-Fi? Award in 2019, and is one of our favourite small systems around. (Now it's been succeeded by the LSX II.)
This page brings together all the best KEF LSX deals around, so if it's available with a discount anywhere, you'll see it flagged below.
The KEF LSX can stream music via wi-fi or ethernet using DLNA or Tidal, all from within the KEF Stream app. Spotify Connect, Roon, aptX Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2 also come as part of the package.
Want more? You can hook them up to a TV or mobile device, and there's a subwoofer output for adding more bass. There's even a separate app dedicated to setting up and tweaking the system's sound output. Control is quite literally at your fingertips.
Most crucially, the LSX produce a wonderfully coherent sound: it's expressive, tonally even and rhythmically astute. There's a great amount of detail on show, along with plenty of dynamic discretion.
Add to this the speakers' bright, lively colour choice, and you've got a system that demands to be heard in spaces big or small.
