None of these speakers achieves full range experience which is commonly agreed as 20Hz-20kHz. In order to achieve lower lows / deeper bass, we recommend you pair these with a subwoofer. Visit our Powered Subwoofers section to find out more about the available options.

Cabinet Type and Port Position

Both Genelec G Two and LSX have rear firing ports. Rear ported speakers generally need more room between the backside of the speaker and the wall compared to sealed and front/bottom ported speakers. Placing the speakers too close to the walls may cause the bass to sound boomy.

If you are limited in space and can't get the speakers away from the backwall, check our Speakers with Front Firing Ports page.

Physical Specs

Size of a speaker can sometimes become an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare Genelec G Two's and KEF LSX's external dimensions. Genelec G Two has external dimensions of 242 x 151 x 142 mm ( 9.5 x 5.9 x 5.6) whereas KEF LSX has external dimensions of 239.7 x 155.6 x 180mm ( 9.4375 x 6.125 x 7.1inch) .

Genelec G Two is 4.6mm narrower and 38mm less deeper than KEF LSX but it is also 2.3mm taller.

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Genelec G Two and KEF LSX in scale.

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 Genelec G Two is approximately 214.4cm2 / 33.2inch2 and base area of the KEF LSX is approximately 365.7cm2 / 56.7inch2. The Genelec G Two requires 41% less surface area than the LSX which gives it a small advantage on placement in tight spaces.

Here is an another comparison that shows both speakers on a BDI Octave Media Cabinet, next to a standard size amplifier and turntable in scale:

Weight Comparison

The weight of a loudspeaker can become an important factor if you need to move and reposition the unit often. Weight of a speaker can also "sometimes" be an indicator of the rigidity of the enclosure and the quality of the internal components used. The Genelec G Two weighs 3.20kg / 7lbs and the KEF LSX weighs 3.50kg / 7.7lbs. This makes the LSX 9% heavier than the Genelec G Two.
