KEF today announced a “fully wireless” follow-up to its award-winning LS50 compact wireless speaker system that uses a wireless connection between speakers instead of the usual clunky cable.

Vana, the Lake Grove, NY-based distributor of audio products and accessories, today announced that it is now the official North American distributor for European Audio Team’s (E.A.T) line of vacuum tubes.
