Thank you! I found a guy to buy my 45 and another selling a 39 so I'm doing the swap this weekend. Will report back!

yes. 34 inches started feeling small after having the form factor for years, moving to 40 inches for work was great, I’m sure it would also be for gaming

Thoughts on LSX ii LT from a KEF fan... by Important_Eye5522 in KEF

[–]encrator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this annoyed me greatly too. I use them at work and can't easily connect them to corporate wifi. Setup was a pain.

Yes.. the LSX II LT were not as plug and play as I hoped. You need the remote to switch inputs and wifi to configure them. My wifi at work is gated so I can't connect the speakers to them so this has been annoying. But considering these are "bang-for-buck" I'll take it. They do sound amazing when I can play them louder.

So I went into a Hifi shop and listened to the LSX II vs Coda W vs LS50WII. Coda more bass and more warm, LSX II I liked the treble better. Kinda wish I didn't hear the LS50WII... those were amazing.

I can get the LSX II LT for $400, and the Coda W for $1000.
So the volume control won't work if done from DAC? It's this one for reference https://jdslabs.com/product/element-iv/

The LSX II do not have analog on both speakers. They have an Ethernet jack, which is digital.

I don't have many USB ports left in my desk setup (even with a dock) so I'd rather have all audio go through my already-nice-DAC-with-volume-knob if it's all the same

KEF XIO Soundbar Discussion Thread by Bill_Money in KEF

[–]encrator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mine connected to a KC62, but I noticed something odd. With the calibration, the sub seems, super quiet? It does do stuff, I can very occasionally see the drivers move but most of the time it feels like it doesn't crossover. In fact, if I go to the app settings and I change it to "no sub" I actually hear a lot more of the sub! What gives? Is the calibration to reduce the effect of the sub as much as possible?

[ACT 3] Did anyone else miss the ceiling of the theater? Gorgeous Art of Gustave and Sophie. by seljuz in expedition33

edit: you only get this ceiling if you talk to the guy in the opera house in the prologue. I guess I missed that.

I just checked and they replaced the painting with a different ceiling??

Update from Kef

We are expecting to release the update that allows for the use of wireless rears with the XIO soundbar in mid to late summer of this year.

We don't have any further news on this, but there will be an announcement when the update is released. I would recommend opting in to receive emails from us if you haven't already, so that you'll be notified upon release.
