KEF LS50 Wireless Spotify?

It looks like the KEF LS50 Wireless will support Spotify. Check the images: https://unwire.hk/2016/11/02/kef-ls50-wireless/wireless-home/

Does anyone know if Spotify will be available to Europe too?

That is very good news. I just hope the new software with Spotify in the LS50 is more stable than the current one. The UPnP streaming software contains quite a few annoying bugs.

The sound quality is fantastic though.

I contacted KEF with below question: Hi, I have seen you will integrate Spotify into the KEF LS50 Wireless iOS app. Will it support Spotify Connect or will it be direct device-to-device streaming? And I got this reply from KEF: "Thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately the LS50 Wireless system does not support streaming via Spotify Connect. You will be able to stream Spotify to the LS50Wireless directly from a Spotify App using Bluetooth, or you will be able to stream it through your home network using the LS50 Wireless App via DLNA."

"Thank you for reaching out....". That would be enough to make me look elsewhere. What awful language from a once great British company.
