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

Are soundbars getting like, really good?

I don’t think it’s the best. There are better solutions: dragon nakamichi, kef xio. I don’t think sennheiser has experience in speakers ever.

KEF XIO + KC62 + KW2: impossible to pair, firmware updates stuck ...

Weird. Have you tried a subwoofer cable? Personally, I’d blame the KW2. The last round of firmware updates were really dodgy. Maybe reset the XIO and see what happens? I have 2 KC62s connected to LS60s and a KUBE 10b connected to LSX.No issues at all, except the LSX liking to be restarted occasional

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.

LSX II Lava Red

It probably depends on the soundbar. The KEF XIO is supposed to be great. I’d prefer more stereo separation than 3 or 4 feet. And bigger speakers.Most of my listening is music, not video streaming.

KEF XIO Soundbar Discussion Thread

I just added a SVS SB3000 and it works really well with the XIO. You have not only the adjustability of a sub using the KEF Connect app but also the SVS app. I have not performed any real calibration to get them integrated the best only because depending on the material being played through them, I

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
