The sections below take each area in turn: drivers, frequency response, physical size and what you get in the box.


Drivers

One of the fundamental differences between these two speakers is that LS60 Wireless is a 3-way design whereas the LS LUXE is a 2-way speaker. 3-way designs utilize a midrange driver in addition to the tweeter and woofer on 2-way designs. Designing a crossover for a 3-way speaker is a complicated process and generally increases the overall cost of the speaker.

Neither pair reaches down to 20Hz, the usual definition of full-range, which is normal for speakers of this size. If you want the bottom octave for movies or bass-heavy music, add a subwoofer to whichever you choose. Visit our Powered Subwoofers section to find out more about the available options.

Physical Specs

The size of a speaker can sometimes be an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare KEF LS60 Wireless's and KEF LS LUXE's external dimensions. KEF LS60 Wireless has external dimensions of 1090.0 x 212.0 x 394.0mm (42.9 x 8.3 x 15.5inch) whereas KEF LS LUXE has external dimensions of 336.0 x 223.0 x 298.0mm ().

KEF LS LUXE is 754mm shorter and 96mm less deeper than KEF LS60 Wireless but it is also 11mm wider.

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 KEF LS60 Wireless is approximately 835.3cm2 / 129.5inch2 and base area of the KEF LS LUXE is approximately 664.5cm2 / 103.0inch2. The LS60 Wireless requires 26% more surface area than the LS LUXE which gives it a small disadvantage on placement in tight spaces.

Verdict

Siblings in KEF's LS series, so they share a family sound. It comes down to size, output and price.

AreaBetterWhy
BassAKEF LS60 Wireless digs deeper - 31Hz against 42Hz.
Built-in powerAKEF LS60 Wireless has the bigger amplifier (1400W vs 380W RMS).
ConnectionsAKEF LS60 Wireless adds Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, streaming, HDMI and digital inputs.
SizedependsKEF LS LUXE is easier to place; KEF LS60 Wireless is bigger, which usually goes with fuller bass. Your room decides.
TypedependsA Powered Floor-standing against a Powered Bookshelf - a different job rather than a better one.
ExpandabilityAKEF LS60 Wireless: a sub output.
PriceBKEF LS LUXE is cheaper - $4,000 against $4,999, about 20% less.

A KEF LS60 Wireless  B KEF LS LUXE
depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both speakers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.

Which should you choose?

KEF LS60 Wireless leads across most of the measured areas for a fairly modest premium, which makes it the easier pick if the budget stretches. KEF LS LUXE is the one to take if it does not. If a subwoofer is in your plans, the bass gap largely stops mattering - you would be crossing over above 42Hz anyway, which makes the cheaper KEF LS LUXE much easier to justify. In a large or open-plan room, KEF LS60 Wireless has the cabinet volume to fill it more easily; in a small room, near a wall or at desk distance, KEF LS LUXE is the easier speaker to get right.

And remember what a spec sheet cannot show: how each looks in your room and whether the finish suits it, what dealer support and warranty are like where you live, and how they actually sound to you. If you can hear them first - ideally with your own music - that will tell you more than any number above.
