Q1 Meta

One special thing with KEF speakers are that they have a very low EPDR impedance. What this means is the impedance the amplifiers "sees" while in motion. A KEF Q1 Meta get as low as 2.1ohms and most AB amplifiers will have a issue with this. However, class D have no issues with 2ohms and will happil

personally, I'd keep it simple for a first setup. Get something that will last you for a few years but leave you room to upgrade if you get more serious about the hobby. I'd also invest more in your speakers up front than your turntable, as they'll be useful for any and all playback, whether it's fr

You can see your detailed impedance here: https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/kef_q11_meta/ I have Kef R5 that has even lower impedance and I drive them with my Denon receiver to the point of ear pain. They sound great. (Also driving Kef R2, and Kef Q1 for surround) There are lots of people

KEF LSX II LT are digital wireless powered speakers so you may or may not care about that for an analog turntable Klipsch MSRP are typically overpriced so the sale puts them at around what they are worth. Consider Polk ES15 or ES20 passive speakers. If you want KEF then Q1 Meta passive. Ideally buy

I have the m1. I did have the WiiM amp ultra. Don’t care what anyone try’s to tell me, the m1 sounds significantly better, just more powerful sounding. I also use tidal connector AND the HEOS app. I don’t find the app to be much worse than wiims once you get to know it. Caveat though. Im not using K

So, while the Wiim Amp and the KEF Q1 Meta would be a fine pairing, the Wiim does not have a USB DAC, which is the most common way to connect a computer. Does your computer have an optical or digital coaxial audio output?

No. I have Q1 Meta and LSX II. LSX II is better. With a built-in amp and DSP KEF can tune their components together, allowing them to work to their limits without breaking. But passive speaker has to accommodate all types of amps, so it has to play it safe. Even after those precautions Q150 woofer p

If money is not a barrier, I think the LS50 would be great. Some might consider it overkill for surrounds, but I think its tonal neutrality (apart from a small dip in the upp-mid range) will match with the R7 pretty well. As for LSX II, I do fear its loudness may not be able to match the R7. It's a

Since I assume you will also be using your TV as a source, consider the Bluesound Powernode N331. It has HDMI eARC the unique capability of driving two or three channels, giving you the option of adding a center channel speaker, with enough power to drive any KEF speakers that would fit your built-i

I'd go with the KEF Q Concerto Meta's unless you love the B&W house sound. I've heard a few of the KEF QM line & the B&W stuff, I personally find the KEF's to be more accurate and immersive: the coaxial/UniQ on the KEF is really nice. If you're looking for controlled & full bass + a clean sound, the
