| 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... | |
| KEF LS60 v Reference 1s If the missing text was and add a good subwoofer, the Reference 1s are augmented by a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s with acoustic room correction via an SMS-1. I'm now thinking of replacing the LS50 W2 with LS60. Thanks for the advice. The Reference 1s... | |
| KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them I haven't replaced the Reference 1s with LS60 yet, but I have a rack of Ayre gear and at 87 aim to simplify. Kal Rubinson's review in Stereophile suggests they provide excellent sound quite close to Blade 2s. | |
| KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them IIRC the Velodyne SMS-1 does both low-pass crossover and bass management. The first is a simple setting of frequency and slope, the second entails acoustic measurement of sound generated in the room. You can let the SMS-1 seek a solution based on ... | |
| KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them Haven't heard e LS60,. just read and seen reviews. Kal Rubinson's review for Stereophile was the most convincing. At 87, I'm aiming to simplify with a setup that's easy to use but sounds good. The KEF Reference1s, driven by the Ayre KX-5 Twent... | |
| KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them I have no problem setting the LS60s where the Reference 1s are now. The Reference 1s are augmented below 80 Hz by a pair of Velodyne HGS 15s with acoustic room correction. I assume there will be no problem using the subs with the LS60, but might... | |
| KEF LS60: Distance from wall behind them I just set the LS50 W2 to wall mode, and it changed something -3 dB, not sure what. The LS50 W2 are 28" from the wall behind them. I imagine I prefer the sound now with that setting, seems a bit less colored | |
| Replacing surround with sound bar Ayre DX-5 DSD, C5xeMP Sony SCD xa 5400es Oppo 95, 105, 105D, 205 | |
| Replacing surround with sound bar The Sony HT A9 was what got me to consider sound bars. The need for AC outlets for each module seemed a turn-off, but that's when I was thinking about replacing the LS50s with the modules. If nstead I place the modules near AC outlets that migh... |
