BANG & OLUFSEN Unveils Beosound Premiere: A New Benchmark for Powerful, Immersive Soundbar Luxury

Okay, so... Yeah, I find it very, terribly ugly (especially if compared to Stage or something like the Devialet Dione or KEF XIO - personally I'm not a massive fan of the Theatre design either but it's waay better than this). But I'd be okay with that. Thing is, it is basically only as powerful as S

HomePod Pair vs. KEF LSX Ii LT + sub

Why did you buy active speakers if you went with the Wiim? The KEF LSX II allow an analog input, so it would be standalone + the turntable. It also has built-in Airplay1/2, Chromecast and more. In terms of sound there's no comparison, since switching I haven't looked back. If you position them corre

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...

Final update: I removed the KW2 completely and connected the KC62 to the XIO using the subwoofer cable I bought. And now everything works. The subwoofer is properly recognized, the setup behaves normally, and the KC62 works as expected. No pairing issues, no lost sync after idle, no weird wireless b

Are soundbars getting like, really good?

I don’t think it’s the best. There are better solutions: dragon nakamichi, kef xio. I don’t think sennheiser has experience in speakers ever.

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...

Weird. Have you tried a subwoofer cable? Personally, I’d blame the KW2. The last round of firmware updates were really dodgy. Maybe reset the XIO and see what happens? I have 2 KC62s connected to LS60s and a KUBE 10b connected to LSX.No issues at all, except the LSX liking to be restarted occasional

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...

I finally got the KW2 to pair, but in a really weird way. Resetting the XIO didn’t fix it. The KW2 kept blinking cyan/white. What eventually triggered the sync was going into KEF Connect > Subwoofer > KW2 firmware update. The update itself is broken and spins forever, but launching that update someh

I think it’s just right, wife thinks it’s low. 75” Samsung Frame

I’d lower it a bit. All you need is a decent sound system for it!Check out the KEF XIO sound bar. Wall mount it.

LSX II Lava Red

It probably depends on the soundbar. The KEF XIO is supposed to be great. I’d prefer more stereo separation than 3 or 4 feet. And bigger speakers.Most of my listening is music, not video streaming.

KEF XIO Soundbar Discussion Thread

I just added a SVS SB3000 and it works really well with the XIO. You have not only the adjustability of a sub using the KEF Connect app but also the SVS app. I have not performed any real calibration to get them integrated the best only because depending on the material being played through them, I

How to play Apple Music Hi-Res (24bit/192kHZ) on KEF LS50 Wireless II from a MacBook / iPad / iPhone?

Airplay 1 does cast 16-bit/44.1Khz lossless. All KEF W2 speakers with network connectivity support this. Does Apple let you choose to use this when they also support Airplay 2? Nope. Airplay 2 is indeed fixed to 256Kbps AAC or DD+ Atmos for the Atmos audio, which is not supported by many players or
