Save hundreds, even thousands, on very demure, very mindful wireless hi-fi speakers from KEF

It’s BRAT summer. But in the Popular Science multiverse, BRAT means Best Rated Audio Technology, so the vibe abides. And when it comes to our top recommendations for wireless powered speakers, we’re bumpin’ the LS50 Wireless II system seen below, which has never been cheaper thanks to the KEF Sounds of Summer sale. If you’ve been considering getting wrapped up in your playlists, not cords, grab a pair of KEF’s top connected speakers at discounted prices before the sale ends August 31.

KEF LS50 Wireless II $1,999 (Was $2,499)

With wireless support up to 24-bit/96 kHz audio (and network file support up to 24-bit/384 kHz), the LS50 Wireless II bookshelf/standmount speakers give you access to unadulterated audio no matter your service or format(s) of choice. Inside each speaker (available in multiple colorways), custom amps deliver 280 watts of power to each woofer and 100 watts to each tweeter for big, clean, distortion-free sound at any volume. The LS50 Wireless II’s striking, copper-hued Uni-Q driver orients a 1-inch vented aluminum-dome tweeter in the acoustic center of a 5¼-inch magnesium-aluminum alloy woofer cone to create a wide listening sweet spot that’s detailed and dynamic.

Looking for a surprisingly expressive network speaker setup but have extremely limited space? Check out the minuscule but musical desk-friendly KEF LSX II LT Wireless HiFi Speakers – Pair, on sale for $899 (was $999). Able to spare some floorspace and want speakers that can handle even the most complexly layered compositions with authenticity and authority? The top-tier KEF LS60 Wireless HiFi Speakers – Pair are on sale for $4,999 (was $6,999).

Act now, and you can stack promotions because KEF’s SUBtember event has just kicked off. And you want one of their bass bins to make sure your favorite songs kick. We personally pair our powered speakers with the KC62 subwoofer to deliver more musical bass and leave headroom in the main drivers for the melodies, but that’s $1,499 so there are also Kube subwoofers of multiple sizes and more approachable prices to let you delve into dynamic 24Hz depths. And if you buy any sub between now and September 28, you can get a free KW1 Wireless Kit—a $200 value—opening up not only your frequency reinforcement but also where you can put your subwoofer without stringing cable(s) around the room. (The KC92 gets a choice of KW1 or Stacking Kit free.) That leaves more space for the boom and to boogie.
