Great video! There are so many reviewers that have written off this sub based on specs saying physics is physics, so I’m glad that a reviewer has actually bothered to listen to them before giving an opinion. But what makes your review truly great is your side-by-side comparisons after having heard the other subs...that’s golden.

I've never heard the KC-62, but after looking at the specs and the tech in these little monsters, I had certain impressions on how they would perform. You nailed it point by point. As I suspected, it's a great sub for someone with limited space, and listens at low to moderate-high levels, but wants knockout performance rivaling that of the large subs. KEF makes a great product, and this is no exception.

New sub here, I’ve only just found your channel and been checking out your reviews. I really dig your no nonsense, real world approach, man. Excellent reviews, all of them. I have two SVS SB13 Ultras but due to space limitation at the front stage, I have them positioned behind my listening position in the back corners. I’m thinking of adding dual kc62’s, placed either side of my SVS Ultra centre speaker (top of cabinet) to beef up the front stage for a more balanced low end. This is a home theatre application btw. Your review got me thinking, and an argument with my wallet ensued :). Awesome channel and thanks for your great work. * scratch that, just watched your review of the KF92.. one of these at the front stage should do it.. thanks again, great channel.

Really great no nonsense video with a whole load of appropriate and well-informed comparisons. Thanks. Quite a few reviewers just don't seem to get that, as you point out, a huge amount of the price premium is related to the small size and that for people who really can't tolerate some big 12" subwoofer in their living room the fact that you can get a big subwoofer that sounds as good or better for less money really isn't a knock-out blow against the KC62 . If someone really wants/needs a small sub so as not to mess with their décor (or precipitate a divorce!) then at least having an option to pay a price premium to get close to the sound quality of the best 12" subs is a really, really valuable addition to the subwoofer market. What sort of frequencies were you crossing over at and when you describe your listening room as not large what size and ceiling height is it? I'm still debating over getting 1 or 2 KC62s. At the moment I do have 2 x AW608, one next to each of my KEF LS50w gen 1 speakers, but like you I listen at modest listening levels so maybe 2 x KC62 would be overkill for my approx 2,250 cubic foot listening room and if I'm crossing over fairly low I shouldn't have any localisation effects on the bass (I use my system mainly for music). The main reason I went with two ASW608 was because with one the bass was a bit boomy and overblown sometimes and I wondered if that was down to room effects. Adding a second AW608 did seem to help (I think, maybe I was fooling myself). A KC62 is going to be performing on a whole different level though and 1000W RMS is going to exert a whole lot more control over the speaker cones than the 100W in the AW608. The obvious sensible thing to do would seem to be to get a single KC62 initially because I can always get a second one later if I feel the need for that.

I'd love to check that out one day. If it sounds as good as the little KC62 it should be a winner. My only worry is designs like this have super heavy VC and sometimes the crazy amount of excursion can lead to a slower sound but at 6.5" and 9" for the 92 that shouldn't be too bad.

@@NemoPropaganda That makes sense, but you can also rethink it. Which woofer has to work less? The 6.5" or the 9" ? I think the 9"because it has more surface area it can produce more pressure with less effort. I live in the Netherlands otherwise I would lent you mine for a comparison.

Even though the Vidars are not rated for 4 ohms in mono, I've only had 1 thermal shutdown in 1-1/2 years and that was at a very loud listening level over 90db driving the LRS's. I love the sound with these components on both sets of speakers. If LRSs are in your future, you most likely want a beefy class A/B amp that can drive challenging loads.

Thanks for your reviews, I really like your videos! I've got an upstairs apartment bedroom 5.0.2 HT system and I need deep, clean bass at moderate volumes for movies that won't get me evicted. I have very limited placement options and while my budget is $1500, I would be happy to get away with less. I'm worried I will NEED two subwoofers, and I've heard it's the way to go. I was considering two SVS SB 2000 Pros or one SB 3000, and then I saw this video(and I look forward to your review of the SVS Micro). My hang up is if I did need a second sub due to placement issues I'd be screwed spending my budget on the Kef or the SB 3000. My room is 11'w x 16' deep and has a bed and two recliners in it. The open spots for placement are the back corners on either side of my bed unless I buy a new tv stand to open a spot on the front wall. What would you recommend? Two SVS SB2000 Pros, The KEF, dual 3000 Micros or an SB 3000 and $500 saved?

I'm glad you highlight the listening levels. I have the svs micro and rel t5i x1 of each on trail on my bookshelf 2.1 system. I listen in low/mid volumes, and although my head says svs, my heart and ears say rels are better. The svs micros sounds a bit boxy at the higher frequencies, but do extend deep - however, for music listening at my preferred volume levels, I prefer the rels which blend better. I dont know if it makes a difference but the downward facing driver seem like they help as well for a more even sound in my small/mid sized room. Looking forward to seeing your svs micro reviews.

Most subwoofers don't have the best fidelity above 60hz, it's one of those trade offs generally speaking you either get deep bass and big power handling or low power handling and great mid bass.

This subwoofer plays incredibly clean and without distortion. It has an active DSP so if you demand too much volume from it the active DSP will kick in an roll off some of the extension to avoid distortion or damage. It's a fairly smart design.

I have a question if anyone can help. I already have the Kef LS50II Wireless set up and am thinking of adding the Sub. Kef do a wireless kit but I can't fathom how it could/would/should work. On the Primary speaker there is one RCA sub output - so one assumes this is therefore essentially a mono output combining both left and right frequencies into one output. Kef says you can use more than one sub this way but surely that would sound very muddled if there is no stereo separation between the subs??? Or have I got this all wrong?

T9X for sure bro, there is a guy in my Discord that has a single T9X in a fairly large room and he's extremely happy with the results. Of course you cannot expect it to have huge dynamic output for theater as it is still a 10" subwoofer and while its the largest of the TX range it is still relatively small as far as subwoofers go. If theater is more your focus I would instead suggest the HT1205 MK2 that I just reviewed last week as that will give you much more output and a larger driver and you can get a pair for just a little more than a single T9X price.

most plate amps will have some slight audible sound if you put your ear against them but that is not something I generally do, you should not hear any sound from about 3ft away.

@NemoPropaganda
@NemoPropaganda 15 күн бұрын
it depends, while the KC62 is much more expensive the SB1000 Pro can actually play louder because it is a larger subwoofer. What the KC62 will do is provide you with crazy amounts of extension out of a very small form factor and reasonable volumes. If you're looking to save some space, add some extension at reasonable volumes, and reduce the subs size then you will enjoy it but remember a big part of the cost for the KC62 is in the size. I still have my KC62 and continue to love it, it's a very special little sub :)

Nemo, two REL T7x or two KEF? Sold my pair of SVS SB3000's... Leaning REL, music and then HT. Pairing with the KLH Model 5, XTZ Edge A2-400 amplifier, Cambridge Audio CXN V2 network streamer/DAC/Preamp.

I like both subs a lot, the REL will have better textures and transients while the KC62 will be more forceful in the lower frequencies (at lower volumes). Both subs are very good, that's a tough one honestly because I own both and I use both and I still can't decide. I think you will be happy either way.

@@NemoPropaganda I hope you do not mind if I ramble a bit here... This is my therapy session for the day... Nemo, I do not know you personally, I feel I can trust your thinking having been around the block a few times in my near 60 years on earth, most of those years behind the wheel of a semi, living out of a gym bag. It is nice to see there are still young men out here with a head on their shoulder, as that is getting to be rather rare out here. And I'm not kissing your ass. Alright... Are the KEF really $800 better? Or a subwoofer/speaker that will outlive the REL with its time tested design? I look at that too. Time to run off into the weeds here for a second, and then to my point... Remember, this is therapy... When I bought the KLH Model 5's I saw a simple time tested design, a pair of speakers that would last for years without issue if used properly and taken care of. Like those old Kenmore washing machines that Sears use to build, the ones that in many cases are still running somewhere in this country. I know you are a gear head, and so am I out of necessity, as there are few if any real mechanics out here anymore, lots of "techs", very few real mechanics. I own a semi, sitting in the sleeper right now typing away, and have discovered that It is cheaper to buy the tools, diagnostic equipment and software then to take it to a "mechanic", only to discover I have to go back and repair all of their screw ups. I'm going somewhere with this... The KEF make me a bit nervous with all of the modern wiz bang electronic tomfoolery going on inside the box. Just like our modern, and very unreliable wiz bang semi trucks. If something snaps inside the KEF, I see a $1500 paperweight. Where with the REL, a phone call will more than likely fix the matter, even fifteen years down the road if the parts are still available. Parts I more than likely could replace easily at the kitchen table if I am even still here. "No user servicable parts" is the first thing that comes to my mind with KEF. Are there any serviceable parts in the KEFs? After the three year warranty runs out, then what? I highly doubt they are as responsive as say SVS is to their customers. And I think that is a valid concern and should at least be on the radar when reviewing these subwoofers. I had one of the original scratching posts from SVS, and called them just a couple of years ago as it was having issues. Turns out it was a fuse, they even sent me out a few new ones at no charge. Will KEF do that, are there even any servicable fuses/parts in it? Can you even get the KEF apart, short of using a drilling hammer? You know where I am going... Well, that is my line of thinking anyway, and I think it is a valid line of reasoning. Nemo, thank you for your time, as I believe this therapy session went well, as it looks like I talked myself into purchasing a pair REL T7x's, which ultimately is all your fault. And I say that jokingly, and with respect, as I never really paid much attention to REL, you opened my eyes to their product line. Thanks again, and keep up the good work, as I believe you and Thomas are two of the best out here... As Thomas once so eloquently stated, "Watching YT videos can quickly drain your wallet". ;-)

@@michaelwright1602 Ah yes, SG1, so amazing! So KEF actually has awesome customer service so there is no worry there but I hear your concerns. I remember people saying the same things 15 years ago when cars started to become loaded with tech. The KC62 is one of the more technologically advanced subwoofers and there are a lot of pro's to that but also some cons as you have pointed out. I think anytime we push tech that far we will always find ourselves here where some people have some concerns and I think that's okay. My guess is the KC62 was really a proof of concept and that KEF will maybe start to use a passive version of this subwoofer driver in their uber high end Blade speaker, it's just a guess though :). Half way reading your comment I thought I'd mention REL but looks like you beat me to it and ended up with a great product that is more suited to your style and that's a great way to make a buying decision. I did the same thing for DAC's. I hated all the complex features and menus so many of them had so I bought the simple Denafrips Ares2. I don't need no stinking options lol, just make it sound good! Anywho I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and drive safe my man!

He said he was downsizing so he got a smaller pair of subs but then decided not to downsize, sounded like he had a big room so he ended up going with a JL Audio Fathom. He was an 80% theater kind of guy and was probably worried the active DSP would ruin the fun at reference levels in his larger room.

I know the KC62 the better sub but cost factor is putting me off and part of me thinks that the 3000 micro should perform better with movies 🤔 If you hadn't compared both of these micro subwoofers would you of been perfectly happy with the 3000 micro performance?

Hi Nemo many thanks for the review and especially for the comparisons. I am building my music setup with ATC SCM 20 + Nad 658 + c 298(already purchased) in my 10x12 ft with 9 ft ceiling small size room, like to go with 2 rel t5i but having some space constraints, so thinking bout one kc62, will it blend well with my speakers, it will be used only for music and I listen at low volume mostly old classics pop, jaz, vocal rock/pop and dnt like boomy sound. I am from India, here we dnt have any option to try any of them at home before buying ..so kind of confused will it be ok to go with, its costing is high too so 2 of them out of budget as well... once you little free can you guide me a bit.. cheers 👍

Hello, KC62 is a great subwoofer, it will have a lot more extension than a pair of T5X but the pair of T5X will have a little better sound quality. I think both are very good options. I am not familiar with ATC speakers though. Get the KC62 if you value extension more, get the pair of T5X if you value bass fidelity more.

If you want a powerful laptop it will be like $2000 or more but that same power in a full size PC will be only around $1000, because the laptop is smaller it's more expensive to make it. So small subwoofers like the KC62 only makes sense if you cannot fit a larger subwoofer, otherwise for sure you will have better value with something larger.
