KEF KW2 Stock

After having used Samsung's high-end soundbars over the past decade, I purchased the KEF XIO soundbar along with a KEF KC62 subwoofer and connected them via a KW2, and I can attest that the XIO soundbar is in a class unto itself, but I've had nothing but problems with the KC62/KW2 combo compared to
