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

@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.

Most will say the separates i.e. passive set up. But the advantage of the active system is you get a tuned amp-speaker combo that's been optimized for the drivers and cabinet combo. If done right that can out perform passive set ups. you just loose the ability to tune your sound via amps and speaker wires. As for someone's comment that the amps in the LS60's  wont be a resolving as an out board amp is not really true in my experience, testing equal quality speakers/amps and active speakers. 

I have some very good active speakers in my office that do things my main system can't dream of at a fraction of the cost. If done right, I'm assuming kef did this right, you may be surprised how good actives can be.  

@krell303 Well said! I think I will pull the move on the ls60s and add a sub. 

I replaced Ayre Twenty series DAC, preamp. amp, KEF Reference 1s, and a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s with KEF LS 60 and a pair of KC62s.  No regrets.  I did retain the Ayre DX-5 DSD. 

@dbphd Do you feel like you're missing anything?
