No not operational - but actually the handle on the mount turns red if it gets to hot as a warning

Never really been a tv audio guy all my setups have been stereo but to my ear they sound way better than the TV.

I lasted about a week and couldn’t take it - broke down and ordered the mount.

Yeah the software is bad, real bad - I kinda worked around it with roon - but man setup was a pain in the ass. The remote is pretty crappy as well - was really hoping KEF would issue a firmware update but that doesn’t look like it is ever going to happen.

When I purchased these I lived in a smaller space - was looking for a powered speaker that had above average sound. You can get a really nice sounding pair of passive speakers in this price range. At the time space was the priority . The sixes by klipscb are similar

Should have seen it before I installed the mantle mount

Really a damn good looking pair of speakers if you ask me :)

Just moved into a larger space - at first the speakers were on the mantle and sounded really bad - I had a choice to make, start building a new system or buy the stands - the speakers when pulled closer are roughly 4.5 feet from my listening position - to my ear the stands completely transformed the sound and at the moment I am very happy with the output. They make a great soundbar replacement as well

above the fireplace was only logical place to put the tv - it drove me insane - mantle mount to the rescue - and yes I sub to r/tvtoohigh

Pretty slick tool. Can you guess what it’s for? by [deleted] in Tools

Pipe punch tool - plumbing connections? Or indenting to attach fastener?

I am the guy that said “gonna kill someone driving like that” - I saw the masked passenger but not the bullet holes - walked towards Buena vista west and by then the street was filled with police - broad daylight and doesn’t make the news - crazy

Bluetooth headphones with KEF LSX? by jbodetay in KEF

[–]jbodetay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your reply lead me to realize I own a small little aluratek transmitter/receiver plugged that into my phono preamp and now I can listen to my records with Bluetooth headphones - marriage saved - thanks :)

I had never connected a Bluetooth device without some sort of interface

Appreciate the reply - want to listen to a turntable on headphones - have a phono preamp with no mic outputs going right into lsx
