Base Surface Area Comparison
Base surface area of a loudspeaker may become a determining factor when the space in your room or desk is limited.
The base surface area of the Dynaudio Focus 30 is approximately 469.8cm2 / 72.8inch2 and base area of the KEF LS60 Wireless is approximately 835.3cm2 / 129.5inch2. The Focus 30 requires 44% less surface area than the LS60 Wireless which gives it a small advantage on placement in tight spaces.

The Dynaudio Focus 30 weighs 16.20kg / 35.6lbs and the KEF LS60 Wireless weighs 31.20kg / 68.6lbs. This makes the LS60 Wireless 93% heavier than the Focus 30.
