| Audiophile router configuration Using 2.4Ghz is like using a network cable that all of your neighbors share at the same time, and they have the ability to saturate it with interference and you can't do anything about. It might be fine one day and not fine the next. There are o... | |

What was the result of the conversation with cyrix7x86 and did you get your crossovers done?I hope he's legit as there is a real gap in availability for some of the services he's offering.Whether he tests individual components before using them an... | |

| A $4,000 difference Kef 205/2 vs 203/2 ???? My 203.1's are fantastic in a 16x16 room and I feel woudld be even better in a larger room. At what point they would be "small" I don't know. I use them for 2 channel music and 5 channel theater.I've demoed a lot of speakers and have not yet found... | |
| NHT 3.3's vs KEF Reference 203 ? Thanks Shubert, that puts it in perspective. The 'no holds barred' design of the 3.3's has been intriguing to me, while not having Wife Acceptance Factor of other options, they went for the best performing design they could. I've struggled to find... | |
| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel Yes, this happens in my system all the time. KEF Reference 203's and good music. I love to put the pre on "Stereo", have someone sit in the sweet spot and tell them to listen to the center channel... Then I tell them it's not on, that everything i... | |

| Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha I felt KEF Reference 203's outshined a $50k Meridian setup. I didn't want to feel that way because I wanted a Meridian setup so badly, but I couldn't deny what my ears heard. Meridian DSP 5500, 5000c, 5000 (18bit). Another good sub-$5k option are ... | |

| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As a kid I had a general electric tape recorder and I would record songs off of a clock radio onto cheap drugstore cassette tapes. The quality must surely have been horrendous, but to me it was magical. I occa... | |
| How much would I benefit from an amp upgrade? I'm actually pretty happy with the receiver other than the fact that it didn't quite have the power for my fronts.I put it in Stereo when listening to the turntable (direct into receiver using it's phono stage for now) and use surround modes for t... | |
| the best amp/pre-amp for KEF reference 203/1 What did you end up getting? What were the results?I wet to a 140wpc Pioneer Elite SC37 hoping it would be enough but ended up hooking a denon poa 220wpc amp up to them and they liked the extra power. | |
| Samadhi Ichiban? Great info thank you. Unfortunately the seller and I couldn't agree on price and when I went to raise my offer they were gone. | |
| Hearing Damage over 20khz? Thanks for all of the input. I feel more at ease about the supertweeters on my KEFs with my kids around.One thing is for sure, humans are exposed to many things today that we never were in decades or centuries past so the long term effects are dif... |
