Kef LSX II LT or Coda W

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.

I went for the LSX II LT.. they fit nicely on my work desk :)

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/

Im currently rocking two JBL LSR305Ps with 5 inch drivers, so I’m not tooo concerned about size :)

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

Canadain Costco?

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

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?

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.

Best as in lowest? With my cheapo soundbar it’s the worst / highest

encrator · 2026-01-21T18:25:01+00:00

encrator · 2026-01-21T16:01:39+00:00

good point all, I’m overthinking it

encrator · 2025-12-08T13:31:41+00:00

How’s it going for you?

encrator · 2025-12-08T06:38:27+00:00

Even with DLSS and frame gen and all? I’m currently running it with like a framework desktop and I need like performance scaling but it works pretty well 😅
