XIO

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

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

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

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
