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

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

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

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.

Has anyone else had Bluetooth connectivity or pairing issues with the XIO? I've been fighting a recurring issue, where after a Bluetooth device has been paired with the XIO, it works for a period of around 1 - 14 days, but seemingly randomly during that timeframe, when trying to re-connect to the XI

I have the exact same issue with my XIO, using Google Cast with an Android phone. No idea how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just an issue with the XIO. My Wi-Fi router works otherwise flawlessly with other devices and the internet connection is more than fast enough for music streaming. KEF support w

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

Are you talking about the KEF XIO soundbar? If so, I would hold off on buying it for now. It has plenty of firmware issues that need to be sorted out. KEF says they are working on a fix. But never buy a product based on future promises. Only on what they are able to actually deliver today. Will I ha

Well… I spoke to a KEF representative to get more clarification. They informed me that the KW2 isn’t available in North America and there’s no timetable for availability. That’s pretty disappointing. Not sure if I’ll be keeping my XIO at this point.
