Would be interesting to go listen to a pair - I'd listened to the original LSX and didn't think they sounded that great, at least, not compared to KEF's LS50 (which I wound up buying). The $999 price is competitive with Sonos Five or Era 300.

I've had a pair of the original green LSX for about 3 years. Later, I added a KEF KUBE 10b subwoofer.
They're in my bedroom used mainly for streaming music, but also streaming movies with an Apple TV 4K and 32" Viewsonic IPS monitor.

I listen mostly to classical music… mediaeval to contemporary… and opera and they're excellent for that.
Detailed, accurate sound, flat response, good sound stage, but with enough heft to handle complex orchestral music with ease.
With AirPlay 2 I can stream to them from my Mac, iPhone or iPad, too. And also play simultaneously with the KEF speakers in my living room.

There's an option to connect the two speakers with a special (included) Ethernet cable to increase the sampling rate of music being streamed.
It seems to help the sound, anyway. It's great they added HDMI ARC support and a USB-C input.

They're cute, too. Not too big! I've been very happy with them. My wife likes them, too! Definitely worth a listen.
I think KEF USA has a 30 day trial, at least with some of their other speakers.

Nasty colors. 

Now that I know that every watch band is lying in wait, ready to KILL ME, I’m so glad I stopped wearing a watch years ago.

I kept taking off my watch, a stainless steel Heuer chronometer, to avoid scratching my Titanium PowerBook. 

Who knew they even had an app like that.

Just what I want to do.
Sit and watch a bunch of trailers for movies I'd never want to see.

I guess if you can't afford a streaming service…

These predictions never make sense. Since when does Apple update the same products twice in the same year? Exactly right. Never. The Mini just got the M2 AND a complete overhaul in January--so Apple's going to update it again 9 or 10 months later? Ridiculous. The MBPs just got speed-bumped to the M2 in January--and Apple never makes another processor change this soon. I would have guessed that *maybe* the 13" MBA, which has been out just over 1 year, would have gotten the M3 this fall. But with the release of the 15" M2 model, I don't see Apple having the two sizes of MBAs on different processors--I think both models stick with the M2 until maybe next summer. 

Apple did update the MacBook Pro twice in 2019.
The last 15” (which I have) in the Spring and the 16” in the Fall.

I’d love to see an M3 MBP sooner than later!
