The all-new KEF KC62 subwoofer ($1,500) is an ultra compact bad boy, and it isn't just a perfect match to the KEF LS50, it'll click with other stand mount speakers.

Great and simple , appreciate the review Steve, I know dealer here in metro Detroit that started carrying KEF, I've had a chance to hear the KC 62 , I actually took it out of the box for him and hooked it up I was highly impressed, stayed there most the afternoon listening to music switching between the LS 50s , R series KEF ( out of my budget lol) and KEF Q350s all with that sub I enjoyed it. So awesome review man always enjoy your spin on products 👍🏾👍🏾💯💯

I have just purchased a second KEF KC62 and am now fronting my ATC SCM40s with a pair of these beauties! Can I say WOW! The extension is fantastic, have got the cut off set at 50hz which is just right for the ATCs.

100% nailed on Steve. I was a small room sceptic and then bought a KC62 (before I even saw this) and wow does it open my stand mounts up. I guess it takes all the heavy lifting away from the mid range drivers because they just sings with it in place. It ain't just about the thump. That said, I wouldn't have bought it if it meant constant fidget to get the sweet spot. DSP / Room correction or in my case Lygndorf TDAI means I can control and change all the variables from the listening position in real time. God, what an age we live in.

Very nice review Steve. May I add? As you know, I am the Martin Logan guy, and even thought the bass modules go down to 25Hz. I was wanting a subwoofer for the deep pedal notes on pipe organ recordings AND the orchestral bass drum without having to turn up the bass control on the Parasound P6 - 2.1.. So, back to my BRICK AND MORTAR store for the Martin Logan 1600X. This has complete control from phone or tablet, along with room correction by Anthem. I am waiting for the 'bass kit' which will involve software for the laptop. You plug directly into the subwoofer and up to TEN listening areas are measured. I am using this for 2 CH stereo only with the ESL 9's. Just the basic settings I have used, including setting the LPF at 35 Hz. has worked VERY nicely for all kinds of music. So yes, a subwoofer need NOT be for theater use only (O:

Well they met their goal in spades. The KC62 is as clean, as loud and goes as low if not lower than the PV1 in a form factor about 40% smaller, unbelievable. Fabulous! BTW for best results for music music in particular you would be well advised to use 2.

Hey @Steve_Guttenberg_Audiophiliac how do you feel about using a high-pass filter with subs? So instead of crossing the sub where the bookshelf naturally rolls off, what about introducing a high pass to completely cut those low-tones from the small bookshelves and have the sub handle everything under say 80hz. I've heard this can negatively effect voicing of the bookshelf, do you have an opinion here?

Earbuds for Kef M400 250 euros for a pair of earbuds in replacement, for headphones bought new 50 euros (original price of the headphone 250 euros, or the price of this spare part), while the leatherette is very thin and quickly detaches itself? I expected about ten euros, which I usually put in the competing models. 25 euros would have seemed very expensive, too expensive considering the poor quality, but 250 euros (240 Pounds) is unfortunately not a joke, but an incredible bullshit and a deliberate merchant choice that corresponds to wear and tear. I have always been faithful to the Kef brand for 40 years, but I understand that we are actually taken for pigeons, frankly it is like urinating on us. Fortunately Kef is not a car manufacturer, he would sell the 4 tires at the same price as the new car! Also, we notice that the construction of these earpieces does not correspond to what they seem to be, that is to say a natural rubber of good thickness to withstand time. In short, a good sound quality, but of the whole issue manufacturing, and a sales policy that is obvious robbery.

I think you missed a trick with the RCAs, the high pass filter. Connecting the line outs onwards to the stereo speakers allows the subwoofer to filter out the low frequencies those speakers may not be able to do properly.

The obvious comparison is the B&W PV1D...the "bowling ball sub". Similar in most repects, also pricey and feature packed. How do they stack up against one another? Inquiring minds want to know!

@Sebastian Tomita u can’t compare products unless they are the same. u don’t compare 24 inch subwoofer to a 10 inch sub. it’s redundant and makes little sense. what don’t u get?

@Sebastian Tomita so by your logic we should compare cars just because the hp is the same? wtf......

Its helpful to have references, and normally Steve provides them. The t9i is a pretty relevant comparison as it is priced similarly, has a good reputation, actually has larger driver area, but a less impressive spec sheet. Even the t7i is relevant because Steve has a pair and knows them well The whole point of watching to one of Steve's videos is to get what you can't get from the spec sheet and the company promo videos, and I didn't get that from this video.

How does the KC62 compare with the REl T-zero; my money would be on the latter?

Awesome review as always! Do you think KC62 would do equally well with larger floor standing speakers like Ohm 3000's which has a 10" driver? Or is better to stay with subs that have 10-12" drivers that are designed to perform best in the 20 to 40hz range?

Steve, how does this rave fit in with what you've said about small drivers with big excursion not really being able to match big drivers? Is that irrelevant because this is powered? I was waiting for a caveat comparing this to other subs with much bigger drivers. I'm already thinking about replacing my JL e112 to have something this small. Thanks!
