| Assistance in selecting new speakers… For HT I recently replaced KEF Reference 1s and LS50s driven by Ayre gear and a Bryston SP3 processor with Sony HT A9 & SW5. For music I'm using KEF LS60 and a pair of KC62s. I think the sound of both setups is superb in their own ways, and ... | |
| Surround Theater Speakers Suggestions I've been amazed by the sound and convenience of the Sony HT A9. I use it everyday, whereas I rarely used the Bryston SP3 and KEF LS50s.. | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I used KEF LS50 W2s with a pair of KC62 subs and now use LS60s with the subs in one setup and balanced Ayer gear with KEF Reference 1s in another. I'm undecided, but I may keep both -- I'll surely keep the LS60s. I use the actives with the excel... | |
| Locating speakers behind where you sit versus positioning them on the side? I'm using a Sony HT A9 setup, and it's impressive. But I've wondered if the backs of our Stressless chairs reduce the effectiveness of the rear speakers, and have been planning to raise the rear speakers. But after reading this thread, I'll try ... | |
| Ayre AX-7e with KEF Reference 1s or LS50 Metas jafant, Lots of stuff to sell, but from immediate downsizing it’s Ayre QX-5, KX-5, VX-5 Twenties. I’m at a decision crossroad about the KEF Reference 1s or the LS50 Metas. I know the Ayre AX-7e integrated pairs well with the L50 Metas, but I have... | |
| Ayre AX-7e with KEF Reference 1s or LS50 Metas Downsizing in the media room came from the realization that we mostly watched streamed programs and movies in that room and listened to music in the living room using KEF LS50 W2. I replaced the LS50 W2 with LS60 in the living room and installed ... | |
| Ayre AX-7e with KEF Reference 1s or LS50 Metas Confusing? The basic question is should I go with LS50 Metas or Reference 1s to pair with Ayre AX-7e integrated amp? Opinions sought. | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta I prefer small jazz and classical groups, but I tried selections of Aida and Mahler's 2nd using the LS60. The sound was awesome. The LS60s can get big when asked to do so. I think their dynamics may exceed that of my Reference 1s driven by the ... | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta Try adding KEF KC62 subs. I haven't heard the R series, but for the money, I think the sweet spot may be LS50 W2 with a pair of KC62s. The KEF Contact app does a great job of integrating speaker and sub. My current setups are Reference 1s driv... | |
| How to connect Powernode to KC62 I don't know what a Powernode is, but KEF recommends 70 HP and 45 LP for the KC62 used with the LS50 W2. I use a pair of KC62s with a LS50 W2, and I'm always amazed at how well pipe organ pedal notes are portrayed. This week I'll be replacing... | |
| Is it better to mount Sony HT A9 speakers or use stands? I set up the Sony HT A9 system yesterday and after some tweaking I achieved spectacular sound for movies and surprisingly good sound for music. The HT A9 integrates nicely with our 85" Sony Bravia smart TV. Next week I expect to receive a KEF LS... | |
| Is it better to mount Sony HT A9 speakers or use stands? The setup the Sony HT A9 will replace is comprised a Bryston SP3 that sends front LR to an Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp bypass, VX-5 Twenty amp, a pair of KEF Reference 1s. Four LS50s are mounted around the walls. A pair of Velodyne HGS-15s below 80 ... | |
| KEF LS60 v Reference 1s I ordered white LS60; I'll sell the maroon LS50 W2. | |
| KEF LS60 v Reference 1s I'll be using the pair of KC62s I use with the LS50 W2 when the LS60 replaces the LS50. | |
| KEF LS60 v Reference 1s I was in the hospital with the highly contagious RVS, and did some soul searching about what I actually listen to. In the living room it’s the KEF LS50 W2 with a pair of KC62s, and that’s a surprisingly satisfying sound for me. In the room with Ay... |
