I have a H390 and while it is a wonderful integrated amp, it’s way more than you probably need, but if you go the LS 60 route, you’re going to need something to feed a signal to them and you might not get the same quality of sound. Might I offer another suggestion? Check out the Hegel H190 and the KEF R7’s or the R7 Meta’s. Since Hegel came out with the new H190V, the price of the original H190 has dropped a lot! All the best. |
@curiousjim I would be using an external music server hooked directly to the ls60. I have all my hi res files ripped to the drive. |
I have LS60 + two KC62 subs, Marantz SA-10 SACD player, Manley Chinook phonostage, Yamaha PF-800 turntable with upgraded Analysis Plus Silver Apex cabling in my secondary system. My primary has Revel Salon Ultima 2, Parasound JC2+ monoblocks, McIntosh C1100 preamp, D1100 DAC, McIntosh MCT450 transport, SME20/3 turntable with HANA Red cart and Manley SteelHead phonostage. Bottom line: I have never found KEF LS60 lacking in resolution, missing bass (even with subs off) and/or not musical comparing with the primary system. Phenomenal speakers - and not just in their price range! I can happily live with this system as a primary one. Internal amps, speakers, paired woofers, cabinets, internal DAC, and DSP are designed to work together - which cannot be achieved with the separates in the similar price range. P.S. I had some issues during initial setup - but the resolution is simple: one needs to make Google Chrome a default browser in your Android phone settings (omission in the manual). |
@krell303 Do you think the ls60s keep up with your separate system? I really like the simplicity of the ls60s and the sub together. How are you connecting your SACD player? I have a nice rega cd player. |
