Hi there. Will you add the KEF LS50 Wireless ii to your shortlist?

@Chutney0203 Жыл бұрын

Probably a good idea to inform your viewers at the start of the video that you have NEVER actually listened to the speakers.

@@propercushty No sorry mate, there is little value in reading over some opinions on the internet and making a video regurgitating what other people have said. Without having listened to the speakers yourself. I would reason that a lot of the people that arrive at this video are looking for review or grounded opinion on the speakers, not regurgitation. Then you go and make an AI generated response to a comment ? Is it that you simply don't want people on the internet to like you ? Put in a little effort mate !

I’ve got these paired to a T/5x, you can’t go wrong. Valid points with the servicing of them, however that is the case with any speaker setup.

Hi Man, off the topic of Kef speakers, what is your opinion of ProAC D30RS in a medium size room? It is a two way tower speaker. Can a two way speakers really generate bass? Thanks in advance.

@propercushty Жыл бұрын

Hi Richard. What is a 'medium sized' room exactly? Could you provide rough measurements of length, width and height? In my estimate, a typical medium sized room is probably under 60 cubic metres - if that's the case, then yes I think the 2-way designs can generate 'enough' bass for music listening. The question is when you want to turn the speakers up a little bit, will you lose quality? There is only so much a single driver can do. However, the Proac speaker you are suggesting is a tower speaker - so you get extra sub-bass output by having a large cabinet. In these cases, 2-way designs should be absolutely fine for louder volumes in medium sized rooms. I would trust a company like Proac to absolutely deliver in the sound department. Perhaps ask them what size room they would recommend for this speaker. The only thing I am skeptical of is the bass specifications on the spec sheet - it mentions a 20hz bass extension? I am curious to know what SPL they tested this at.

tried the LS50 Metas a few times with a Hypex Class D amplifier - judging by what everyone online is saying, the differences between the Metas and the Wireless ii shouldn't be all that big a difference

@rshales007 Жыл бұрын

I owned the LS50W IIs for a couple of weeks but I sent them back. I wanted to move away from separates so they were to replace my 26 year old B&W DM601s powered by a Marantz PM66SE KI Sig. After a lot of side by side listening and messing around with the App and placement, the main reasons I sent them back were; i) Bass was too weak and sounded a bit like the boxy bass from my Sonos Play:5 ii) Sound was veiled iii) Soundstage didn't match up to the reviews iv) HDMI ARC was glitchy - when watching Amazon Prime in particular, the sound would drop out and frequently Prime Video would throw up an error. I was using the latest firmware available in Jan 2023. The fault could have been with Amazon, Sony or Kef but I guess I'll never know. Given that every year, new products are released that are an improvement on last year's, I had high expectations for the LS50s. For me, they didn't live up to the hype.

@propercushty Жыл бұрын

when i heard the LS50 Meta passives, i thought imaging was tidy but overall depth of the soundstage left something to be desired compared to the Monitor Audio Studios...so i can empathise with your experience
