KEF says Coda W is turntable-ready, with no separate amplifier or phono stage needed. It comes in Vintage Burgundy, Nickel Grey, Moss Green, Midnight Blue and Dark Titanium.
Coda W, from KEF
Why you will love it
A Uni-Q driver in each speaker
KEF's Uni-Q places the 25mm aluminium dome tweeter at the acoustic centre of the 130mm magnesium/aluminium alloy woofer cone. KEF says this makes the pair behave as a single point source, so the sound spreads evenly through the room.
KEF's Music Integrity Engine is a set of DSP algorithms tuned for Coda W. Each speaker has its own Class D amplifiers, 70W for the woofer and 30W for the tweeter.


Connect a turntable, TV or computer
A built-in MM phono preamp lets most turntables plug straight in. For turntables with their own phono stage, or a CD player, use the RCA line input.
HDMI ARC takes TV sound over one cable, and KEF says you can control volume with your TV remote. USB-C accepts up to 24-bit/192kHz from a computer, and the optical input handles up to 24-bit/96kHz.
Bluetooth with aptX Lossless
Coda W supports Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Adaptive for low-latency audio. aptX Lossless carries CD-quality 16-bit/44.1kHz, if your phone or player supports it.
The KEF Connect app handles EQ presets, source selection, speaker settings and firmware updates. The top-panel buttons cover the main functions.

Not fully wireless
KEF explains that the wireless part is how the music arrives. The two speakers are linked by the supplied 3 metre interspeaker cable, and a power cable plugs into the wall.
For larger rooms there is an optional 8 metre C-Link interspeaker cable, and an optional SQ1 floor stand. A subwoofer output lets you add a KEF subwoofer.
Five finishes
KEF describes clean, rectilinear lines with subtle detailing. The finishes are Vintage Burgundy, Nickel Grey, Moss Green, Midnight Blue and Dark Titanium.
Design is by Ponti Design Studio and KEF's product design team.

- Want a compact system with no separate amplifier
