XIO

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’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.

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.

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

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.

I was thinking of using these as desk speakers. They could replace my Kef Xio + KC62 but.. that's been really nice for my apartment lol

Never tried the Sennheiser as I haven't seen it in Hifi stores on Demo in my country (The Netherlands). They also don't support any way of extending the amount of Speakers for Real surround, which caused me to not have that much interest for it. At the time of writing KEF doesn't support the wireles

What source are you using? Is it sending the signal with Passthrough so the full decoding happens in the Bar? You can check in the KEF Connect app which Codec is received over eARC. Keep in mind that Direct mode might not sound great if the source is only Stereo. Standard mode is advised + Calibrati
