Krix LX-7
It's not a soundbar... It's a sound experience.
The LX-7 is a stylish, high-performance passive loudspeaker, custom-built in Australia for screen sizes 75 inch and above.
Featuring left, centre and right channels, it can be combined with surround speakers and an AVR/processor to create a genuine, immersive cinema soundscape without the need for virtual or ‘bouncing’ effects. The sleek design requires minimal space above or below your screen. The LX-7 is intended to be combined with a Krix subwoofer(s) to accurately reproduce the lowest frequencies for the very highest level of home cinema performance.
Tilting bracket
Using the included bracket, the LX-7 can be mounted flush against the wall or at adjustable angles up to 15 degrees for optimal sound dispersion.
Tonally matched
The LX-7 is tonally matched to all Krix surround and overhead speakers.
Unparalleled Sound
Three 90 x 90 Krix short throw waveguides significantly improve dispersion characteristics and increase efficiency for very high output levels.
For the ultimate sound experience at home, play it through Krix.

Krix LX-7 delivers blockbuster dynamics and an expansive, cinema-scale wide soundstage that belies its slim form. Built around three 165mm lows and a 26mm tweeter in a short-throw waveguide, it serves up punchy low-end, transparent mids and articulate highs. Reviewer Michael Darroch praised its scale and headroom — a serious passive LCR for small to mid-size media rooms.
Pros
- Massive dynamics and headroom with no noticeable compression, delivering cinematic impact even at high volumes.
- Wide, expansive soundstage and precise imaging for a single-piece LCR, aided by the 90x90 short-throw waveguide.
- Transparent, forward midrange that preserves vocal clarity and musical detail in both movies and concert recordings.

Cons
- Requires a dedicated subwoofer to extend below 60Hz—the low-frequency response is specified to 60Hz.
- Tweeter can exhibit a forward brightness in-room; reviewer suggests room correction or EQ to tame the top end.
- Premium pricing situates it well above typical soundbars, so its appeal is narrower—aimed at committed home-theatre buyers.

Bass
89/100
The LX-7 uses a single 165mm (6.5") woofer in a front-ported MDF enclosure and delivers substantial excursion; StereoNET notes "ample excursion" and no sense of the usual satellite 'hole' between bass and LFE. In-room response is specified to 60Hz so reviewers still recommend a sub for full 20–100Hz coverage; ported design and positive comments justify a high 'excellent-for-size' rating.
Mid
91/100
Reviewers praised vocal clarity and presence: StereoNET reported vocals with "ample space and depth" and an engaging, transparent performance even at high volumes. The midrange is described as energetic and musically convincing, giving instruments and voices good body and forwardness for cinema/music use.
Treble
88/100
The 26mm doped fabric dome in a 90x90 waveguide yields wide, on-axis treble response; StereoNET credits the waveguide with contributing "tremendously" to the experience. A caveat: the reviewer suggests using room correction/EQ to balance inherent brightness of the tweeter design, indicating very good extension with a touch of forwardness.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
As a single-piece LCR unit the LX-7 nevertheless produces an expansive soundstage; StereoNET says the wide response makes a soundstage "even larger than the imposing width of the 100-inch bar." Imaging and lateral spread are notably strong for the form factor, providing cinematic scale and placement.
Dynamics
92/100
StereoNET observed no compression and "big-scale movie thrills" beyond the speaker's size, indicating excellent macro- and micro-dynamic capability and headroom. The recommended 50–250 W amplifier range and 92dB sensitivity support dynamic performance in typical home rooms.

Build Quality
89/100
Construction uses 12mm braced MDF with quality drivers and a Krix-designed waveguide; the reviewer highlighted mechanical features such as the magnetic terminal cover. Terminals accept heavy gauge cable and robust fittings, though the reviewer noted terminals as a minor complaint, otherwise craftsmanship reads as high-quality.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive single-post LCR/bookshelf baseline applied. Terminals accept up to 10AWG and 5mm bananas and the speaker is rated 92dB sensitivity; no bi-amping or DSP/streaming is present and no penalty applied per passive rules.
Value for Money
82/100
The LX-7 sits at a premium price band (review cites ~£6,000 per unit; provided price range 4995–5495), yet reviewers call it a strong candidate for small-to-mid media rooms and a serious home cinema product. Good performance and niche capability support solid value, though the high asking price keeps it from top-value ratings.
