KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB?

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. 

I have had the KEF R7 Meta's in my system for just one year and am delighted with their performance. I have a small listening room and these were the biggest/best speakers I could accommodate. Please see my virtual system for more context.

Then by all means go for the LS60’s!

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.

@mrbanker32 , 

Concidering 50 times price difference between two systems, yes - I can live with LS60-based one. It does NOTHING wrong - for sure, it doesn't throw such an enormous and deep sounstage, nor such an explosive dynamics (well, Parasound JC1+ amps have 800 watts power), line level connection options are a bit limited ( I'm using Shiit SYS passive input switch). I lived with this system for two years before finishing dedicated listening roon and reassembling back my primary one - but I still using both. All my previous separates in $10k range were not even close to LS60. And, big and - DSP allows you to simplify positioning and room interferenc

I also had LS50s - but found that in my medium sized room I like LS60 better. 

P.S. I'm listening primarily jazz and large scale symphony music, some blues and progressive rock. LS60 does it all.

If you like upgrading components all the time - LS60 might not be for you though. 

Get one (Music Direct has 60 days return policy, I think), listen to it for 3-4 weeks in your room - and then decide.

Good luck!

P.S. Room treatment is more important than one step up component upgrade. I've got 4 StilPoints Aperture panels for my primary listening room and found that I don't need McIntosh MEN220 room equalizer anymore- negligible difference.
