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

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.

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

KEF XIO Soundbar

All W2 models will be supported for Surround channels later this year. They are still working on adding Front channels as well, which is planned for late 2026. Currently I am enjoying my XIO Soundbar with the Kube 12 I already had. The Bass is already great without the Sub, but for the real low dept

KC62 - Kube12MIE ? Is the KC62 the right choice?

If you’re already using Xio probably sticking with a KEF sub would be better as the KEF Connect settings make for an easy and near-perfect integration. They know their own products’ characteristics do they naturally know what crossover settings would work best. Now, I haven’t tested the Kube but I a

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

Cinema bar review

The XIO was probably only slightly better sounding and nearly twice the cost. It’s also enormous and if you’re putting it on a fireplace mantle that bitch better be DEEP. Mounting it on the wall is also problematic due to ground clearance issues so it’s just a massive space hog. For reference, I hav

Bravia 9 II vs. Bravia 7 II + Sony Sound System

Ultra is better than the 8, not as good as the 9 imo, but super close. If you're looking to get better sound, but need a soundbar for aesthetics, bluesound or the Kef Xio are both killer powered soundbars.
