KEF LSX GETS SPOTIFY CONNECT AND ROON STREAMING SMARTS

KEF has just announced the addition of Spotify Connect and Roon streaming playback to the LSX wireless music system.
If you recall, we were there at the UK unveiling of KEF's mighty two-speaker, all-wireless music system. The new and affordable system can stream from a multitude of sources enabling you to listen to true stereo with KEF's proprietary between-speaker wireless connection.
Now, with built-in Spotify Connect, Spotify's entire library can be streamed directly from the cloud without interruption via high-quality network connections. Furthermore, you can watch videos, play games, answer phone calls and more, without causing pauses or disruption to the music.
It gets even better too thanks to Roon streaming playback integration. Now, you can take advantage of the full high-resolution audio capabilities of the LSX while enjoying the flexibility of networked audio and the amazing Roon music browsing experience. If you own other streaming platform devices such as Chromecast, Airplay, Roon Ready, Roon will allow you to combine your LSX with these other devices as a complete system, managed by one app. I really cannot praise the Roon user interface enough.
Finally, and for a limited time starting from right now, you can register your LSX or LS50 Wireless music systems and get 6 months of free Tidal HiFi Music Streaming for free. Registration is easy using KEF's Control app.
Adding Spotify Connect and Roon streaming to your LSX is straightforward too through KEF's over-the-air update capabilities. LSX also features Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity as well as TOSLINK optical and line-level auxiliary inputs.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
