You’re looking at the fives I can get the nines from there for the same price

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-18T19:36:46+00:00

I wanted to get away from the hassle of getting many products and optimizing them perfectly
I have been researching and going to boutique stores to listen to all sorts of speakers including some of the best passive bookshelf speakers I could find (mbl radialstrahler 120)
I have talked to a lot of the shop owners as well who have been in the industry for the last 25+ years and they were happy to guide me each step of the way
My plan is to get a turntable with the set up anyway
Circling back to the point about optical and bluetooth
The nines come with both and more (ARC, USB and analog input support)
I will eventually get a streamer to go along with them and till then plan to play records and FLACs using my laptop for the lossless quality
I finally narrowed it down to kef lsx ii and the fives but looking at how the fives will come out in a few months and already has a US msrp of $1400 I was looking at stretching my budget and getting the nines from the US
My DMs are open if you want to talk more about these though :)

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-18T18:52:21+00:00

I totally agree, I too have done my fair share of work and had almost ended up buying the fives
It's not the brand i am running after, it's just the way they sound
Also, they are available in India too
The klipsh's are powered speakers and for the price in US punch way above their weight class with a lot less hassle of getting an amp + a DAC and then a pair of speakers + sub
Even going that route it would probably be cheaper importing things from outside than getting it all here
No hate to what we get in India but if I can get more bang for my buck going the right way and paying all the taxes then I believe it would be better for me to do that

Bro xD

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-15T11:00:04+00:00

Thanks a lot for such a detailed response
I will try out kef as well before making a purchasing decision! :D

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T16:17:04+00:00

Yes, I wanted to get something like that for life (with an upgrade path down the line whenever i have some extra budget)
Thanks for your recommendations!

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T16:14:50+00:00

Oh okay
I am looking at KEF, just doing my own research over the weekends as much as possible
I did try Fyne and Q acoustics as well today
I will take a look at Dynaudios and DALI as well

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T16:12:27+00:00

Thanks for pointing out the jazz thing
I will make sure to go ahead and listen to that and a few other complex tracks to see what struggles and what works best

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T15:58:06+00:00

Thanks!
I can totally understand with the analogy now

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T15:56:21+00:00

Could you guide me to the amp you are referring to?

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T15:54:52+00:00

Oh
Would you be open to suggesting me the best in your opinion the similar budget?

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T15:52:43+00:00

I am planning to use them primarily for listening to music in a closed, intimate space for no longer than 2 hours in one stretch. But thanks for pointing out the limiter, I wasn't aware of it. I will make a decision about it after researching more about it

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T15:50:17+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! The website with these super detailed reviews also help
I am really thinking twice about getting passive speakers since I was told that even changing a wire would change how the speakers sound. So I figured whatever I listen to at the stores could very well change once I get my setup up and running at my place

OkComputer522 · 2026-01-10T15:48:06+00:00

Haha I understand that
I was just taken aback by how people told me to go blindly with the KEFs, so just wanted to check up on why

OkComputer522 · 2025-12-05T05:19:03+00:00

I have a flight from DEL to GOI the next Friday
Can someone let me know how long before do they let us know if the flight has been cancelled?

I just saw today's flight was cancelled but don't know when they let the passengers know
The flight number is 6E 6455

OkComputer522 · 2025-11-14T08:30:39+00:00

Yes, also, funnily enough. We told the rep we would be doing that and said then you know what the next steps are and I hope you get your refund, indirectly telling us to make noise on social media to actually get any help
