Speakers transform a home into a haven for audiophiles. It's true that setting up your HiFi speakers isn’t the easiest process. However, we assure you that the effort will be well worth it when you find yourself immersed in the intricate notes of your favourite melody or transported right into the action of a beloved film, all thanks to high-fidelity sound.
In this guide, you will learn how to set up speakers in your chosen space to achieve the listening experience you’ve been yearning for. Additionally, we will provide insights on cable selection, product matching for different room sizes, and more to ensure ultimate enjoyment.

Before you add speakers to your room, you want to ensure you’re marrying the correct speaker with the correct room size.
Below, we’ve given our suggestions for the ideal KEF wireless speakers by room size with a normal room height of 2.5m, both with and without subwoofer support.
Without a subwoofer:
LSX ll / LSX ll LT - 5 to 20 sqm
LS50 Wireless II - 9 to 30 sqm
LS60 Wireless - 9 to 200 sqm
With subwoofer support:
LSX ll / LSX ll LT - up to 40 sqm
LS50 Wireless II - up to 60 sqm
LS60 Wireless - >200 sqm (a subwoofer isn't necessarily needed for LS60 Wireless, unless you're looking for more even bass distribution)
Audiophiles often get bogged down with speaker angle, or toe-in. However, with KEF, you can bypass this stress. Our exceptional speaker technology includes the sound dispersion of the Uni-Q driver, allowing you to enjoy phenomenal audio from almost any angle. The traditional ‘sweet spot’ is eliminated, ensuring that everyone in the room can experience the same rich sound.
Depending on the shape of your room, you may wish to experiment with speaker toe-in. We recommend starting with 0° toe-in, listening carefully, and then adjusting in 2° increments to find your ultimate sweet spot.
Speaker installation on a stand helps to maintain clear, unobstructed sound, and KEF offers a range of elegant stands to achieve this.
Our S1 Floor Stand is the perfect companion for LSX II and LSX II LT, featuring a cable management system that conceals wires, ensuring the aesthetics of your home are never compromised. The integrated mounting system allows you to simply screw your speakers into place, keeping them secure.
Alternatively, you might consider the P1 Desk Pad for LSX II and LSX II LT if you're placing them on a desk. The P1 Desk Pad has an upward tilt, allowing you to angle the speakers slightly towards your listening position.
For a wall-mounted option, the B1 Wall Bracket provides a quick and elegant solution for attaching LSX II or LSX II LT to a wall, also featuring integral cable management.
Our S2 Floor Stand offers the same excellent visual appeal and structural support for LS50 Meta, LS50 Wireless II and other KEF standmount speakers.
Each stand model has been meticulously designed and crafted by the KEF team to ensure that the accessories are built with the listener in mind, elevating your speakers to the ideal listening height.
Selecting the perfect cables can further enhance a speaker's performance. Our C-Link Interspeaker Cable, designed for LSX II LT, is eight metres long, providing flexible placement and extending the speaker's overall reach by an additional five metres.
The K-Stream cable is compatible with LS50 Wireless II and LS60 Wireless models. Like the C-Link, it measures eight metres in length, allowing you to position it wherever you prefer. Additionally, the cable’s premium specifications ensure high-resolution data transfer between primary and secondary sources, delivering crisp, crystal-clear sound.
Enhance your home with the unmatched audio of KEF’s speakers and speaker accessories today.
