| 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. | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? I should add KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers paired with KC62 subs that show that active speakers with well designed DSP are the likely way of the future. | |
| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? A comparison of KEF LS60 and pair of KC62s with Blade 2 Meta would be interesting. Wonder how close you get with an MSRP of $10K ($7K for LS60, $3K for KC62s). I’m using a pair of KC62s with LS50 Wireless II in my living room. The SW controlled D... | |
| Are there any more good multi format disc players out there? I use an Ayre DX-5 DSD universal player, mainly for Blu-ray. For stereo, balanced analog goes to an Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp; for surround HDMI to a Bryston SP-3 processor with balanced analog LR by-passed through the preamp. I think the audio and ... | |
| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? My listening room is 19 X 14 X 7. Is that too small to realize the potential of Blade 2s? I'm using KEF Reference 1s, low-passed to a pair of Velodyne HGS-15 with room correction and high-passed by a passive balanced Marchand filter. Amps are A... | |
| KEF Reference 1s v LS50 Metas steve59 -- I own the Reference 1s, LS50 Metas, LS50 W II, Ayre VX-5 Twenty, and three JC 1s, so it’s not a matter of buying. I admit the question posed may have been silly. Judging by the sound of the LS50 W II which is very good but lacks the sub... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? A JBL C34 rear-loaded corner-horn with custom amp introduced me to HiFi about 70 years ago. More recently my KEF 107/2s with Parasound JC 1s. db | |
| Question On Connecting Multiple Sources to TV, DAC, and Power Amp OP doesn't mention a streamer nor what the primary source for music might be. I suggest analog from the disc player go directly to the preamp as well as HDMI to a processor or AVR. That assumes the disc player has a decent DAC. The TT would cont... |
