| Balanced switch for preamp output Thanks, dpop, the Nobsound seems to exactly what I want at a reasonable price and the convenience of Amazon. I've ordered one. | |
| KEF 104/2 vs B&W CDM 7 SE I used 104/2s for several years then replaced them with 107/2s for a major upgrade in sound. The 107/2s are also handsome. Make sure you get a matching KUBE. I'm using KEF Reference 1s now, augmented by a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s with SMS-1 aco... | |
| Magnepan LRS in the house! Re the big subs: They are what I use with the KEF Reference 1s and are setup so I’m unaware of them except when they provide something like the vibration associated with low pipe organ notes. I plan to just move speaker cables. Re the high pass f... | |
| Magnepan LRS in the house! I alternated between LRS and LS50 Metas and was impressed by both. I plan to try alternating the LRS with KEF Reference 1s. By just moving speaker leads, they will be augmented with room-corrected Velodyne HGS-15s and high-passed with Marchand b... | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? I've been using a Velodyne SMS-1 with a pair of HGS-15s to augment KEF Reference 1s with excellent result. I'm going to try a second SMS-1 in a stereo configuration in which L & R from the Ayre preamp will pass to separate SMS-1s. RS-232 wil... | |
| I don't get LRS and cheap Ayima AO7 amp Maybe, but I'm going to try the LRS with my Ayre VX-5 Twenty or Parasound JC 1 monoblocks. | |
| Environment for Magnapan LRS The purpose of the carpet is to control splash beyond the screen from projection. I think I may try painting diffusors black and mounting them on the carpet behind the speakers. The KEFs sound terrific in this setting. Might they sound even bet... | |
| Wilson tiny tots I'm happy with the KEF LS50 Wireless II for both Roon and TV. It accepts Ethernet and eARC. Gone from our living room is the rack of equipment. I augment the speakers with a pair of KEF KC62 subs, but that's not really necessary. The KEF DSP a... | |
| Wilson tiny tots For TV audio isn't the first order of business a DAC that accepts eARC, not optical? | |
| What is the best way to set up two KEF KC62 with a Mcintosh labs mx123 processor I use a pair of KEF KC62s with LS50 Wireless IIs controlled by the KEF Connect app that runs on an iPad. If you could download that app, it sets a number of parameters for the KC62s. Not sure how it would function in your setup, but it does an e... | |
| Raising Subs? I tried a half measure by putting a pair of KEF KC62s atop a pair of unused Velodyne HGS-10s. I didn’t care for the effect. Maybe because the KEF app that so carefully integrates the KC62s with the lS50 Wireless IIs has no provision for height. ... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers I replaced a pair of LS50 Metas, UltraRendu, Ayre DAC, preamp. and amp with a LS50 Wireless II to declutter the living room. Both speakers are Metas so I assume they are equivalent. I continue to use a pair of KC62 subs, The LS50 Metas are boxe... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers The control app for the LS50 Wireless II sets low-pass at 70 Hz and high-pass at 45 Hz when used with a pair of KC62s. Integration of speakers and subs is excellent. Even though it's a setup in the living room aimed at jazz and baroque music at ... | |
| Dual Subwoofers? In the living room we use a pair of KEF KC62s that integrate with LS50 Wireless II speakers controlled by an a KEF app that runs on an iPad. Each speaker has an output to a sub. In the media room we use a pair of Velodyne SMS-1s that take LR out... | |
| KEF LS60 with a pair of KC62s v Blade 2 I have a spare pair of KEF LS50 stands I could try with the KC62s, but don't see the point. Height of subs doesn't seem to be addressed in the KEF Contact app. |
