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

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

KEF XIO Soundbar Discussion Thread
Unfortunately the KEF XIO still does not support rear channels despite KEF promises on launch. The LSX would have been perfect for the job. I think the new SVS 3000 Micro is a good fit, powerful, tiny and not too expansive. The KC62 is a definitive good choice if you have money to burn : It's margin

KEF XIO Soundbar
But in the world we live in, the vast majority of TV’s cost a lot less than $2,500 and few people are willing to spend more on the soundbar than on the TV itself. No matter how innovative the KEF XIO soundbar is, its price tag makes it a nonstarter for non-audiophiles. Meanwhile, audiophiles will co

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...
The XIO eventually went into idle mode, and after that I lost the KW2 sync again. I tried the same “workaround” as before — launching the KW2 firmware update from KEF Connect — but this time it did not bring the sync back. So at this point I honestly have no idea how this system is supposed to work.

KEF XIO Soundbar Discussion Thread
I don't th>nk is the best choice right now. It's a good soundbar butmi don't think it's THAT better then a Samsung 990f. And there is no surround choice. Appart from Samsung and Sonos, LG sound suite and Bose have come up with nice solutions as well. You can also explore wiim with traditional speake

KEF XIO Soundbar Discussion Thread
I ordered the KEF XIO as a blind buy and to say I m disappointed is an understatement. I watched so many reviews praising it and I am not sure how much KEF paid these guys but it does not deliver. I did a firmware update and calibrated but the sound for music is muffled and not very detailed. Movies

Sub to go with Xio
I believe KEF subs can be easily setup with the Xio via their app, so that would be your best bet. The KC series of KEF subs are very good and a safe choice. I love REL, but that model is overkill for a soundbar, and is better suited for playing music with a stereo. SVS provides the best bang for bu
