@randyhat - I am in a similar situation trying to get the best out of REL T9i and LS50W. Use KEF app/ REL recommended Settings. The main concern is I do not want to duplicate low frequencies on both REL Sub and LS50 W. I wish if either REL or KEF sheds some light on what controls to use these devices. It is indeed pretty confusing. Right now I have turned Hi Low knob to 15 turns at 10 o clock position and Cross over at 21 turns close to 75Hz? on REL and use High Pass Mode on KEF app set at 75Hz. Gain on KEF app at +2db with phase correction on and subpolarity +. What I hear is great but I think there is a lot of room for improvement. I wonder if anyone has nailed the set up. Reached out to REL and did not get back any response yet.
KEF-LS50 with REL T-Zero? Anyone?
I am putting together a second system in our casita. My source is a Bluesound Node2 and my power amp is an older Audio Research 100,2. (100 wpc SS). I just bought a pair of KEF LS50s. They are not setup yet so my curiosity about the need for a sub is speculative. This is a small room with limited space so if I think I need a sub it will have to be very small. Hence the Rel T-zero. It is the perfect size to fit in the open cabinet I will place it in. I have owned larger Rel subs in the past so I am familar with the brand. The Zero is a tiny sub...so much so I wonder if it will be worth the expense or effort. I've heard the LS50 and I know it has good bass....for it's size but just wondering if that extra bit of low end the Zero will provide will compliment the LS50. Knowing the limitations of the Zero I am not setting my sights too high but just wondering if anyone has heard this combo and can share their experience. Thanks
