Er HiFi Klubben = Kvalitet?

Hej, jeg er indenfor branchen, dog ikke i H-Fi Klubben specifikt. Der er mange gode højttalere i den 'billige' prisklasse, og det kan være du skal ud og høre noget alternativt. Dynaudio Emit 10, Monitor Audio Bronze 50 og KEF Q1 er alle fuldt ud på højde med (nogle ville mene bedre) end B&W og Dali.

I like to listen while I cook

Those shelves are so high up and you’ll be standing basically right underneath them. Whether you have larger speakers against the wall or smaller speakers pulled further out, it seems like you’re decided between two non-ideal options. I know you already mounted the shelves and ran the wiring, but it

A Nearfield Desktop System That Shouldn’t Sound This Big

I have two budget versions of this! Three if you count my SO’s office rig. Tidal/Wiim Amp Pro/KEF Q1 Meta/RSL 10S all room corrected and time aligned for system 1. PC/DX5 II/Kali IN-5/Kali WS-12 with light EQ for system 2. They’re both insane near field and neither should sound as good as they do fo

KEF R5 Meta, worth the upgrade?

Yes, going from the Q1 Meta to the R5 Meta is a noticeable upgrade. But you're basing your desire to upgrade off having heard the Fyne FP702s. That's.... confusing..... For the record, IMO KEF and Fyne Audio speakers don't sound super similar. So if something about the Fyne speakers really appealed

R series vs Q series, specifically for rear surrounds?

I run a KEF 7.4.4. In my theater and only the LCR are R3 Meta and R6 Meta, the rest are actually Q8 Meta (3 pair) and a pair of Q1 Meta and with as little sound that come from the surround/ atmosphere channels, I think it’s perfectly to use Q series for non LCR. If your side surrounds are going to b

What is the retail equivalent model of Hivi Diy3.1a system?

Wharfedale Evo 4.2 or 5.2 are very similar to the Hivi 3.1a. But those speakers are substantially more expensive. Hivi 3.1, especially with the modded crossover, is a good value for the money. You could probably snag a pair of evo 4.2 on the used market for about $600-$700. Alternatively you could b

Hello, I’m interested in speakers that have a warm sound and won’t pierce the ear for long listening. I will usually only use it in low to medium volume.
