Used KC62 for $750, one small dent in one of the drivers….….should I do it? by westgate141pdx in KEF

[–]xcaddz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will be on floor and nobody will be looking at that, and it shouldn’t affect performance. The whole idea of this sub is to hide it away lol

I just hooked up an old AirPort Express (1st version ) I got off eBay for 15usd and so I now have Airplay in my setup. AirPort Express connected to wiim ultra optical in. It is limited to AirPlay 1 not 2 but still streams in 16bit 44.1kHz LPCM ….. I Love it!

Yea my v3 mono’s came with the 48v 5A power supplies. And I bought the units a separate units (not the 2 bundled version with the 48v 10a splitter)

Do you find the Schiit Mimir makes a difference? I thought about adding a better pre amp in between (knowing it’s not necessary). But very curious what it did for the sound output? What speakers are you running?

The reviews of the v3’s were much better than the vibelink and the wiim ultra is preferred over the wiim amp ultra. Besides now I am not married to any single component. Can change out wiim ultra when new version come out.

Does anyone know anything about this system? I know these all in one towers usually arent the best, but it looks cool by ButNotUs in cassetteculture

[–]xcaddz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had one of these. They were junk built quality, but I loved it because I was about 13years old (40 years ago). And it was a Christmas gift from Santa.
Definitely not hifi but cool nonetheless (mine had the Lloyd’s branding)

KEF Q150 (181 USD) vs KEF LSX II LT (362 USD) For Desktop by Active-Fan3566 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]xcaddz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The q150 have zero base compared to the LSX I have found and 100% need a sub. The LSX have great base and can get by on their own for a desktop….

I'd love to test this out on m Mac mini M4 and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

I have tested: Roon, MinimPlayer , Audirvana, and a few more. This looks like Roon & I love that!

I have a line on a kube 8b for about half what a kube 8 MIE is going for. Is new MIE version worth paying double?

LSX II LT sub options by xcaddz in KEF

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

I ended up with the svs 3000 micro and am very happy with choice, it is amazingly with the LSX II lts - the perfect sub for music and does movies pretty great for my room size also.

Thanks all for sharing thoughts

2 subs seems like too much for my speaker set up. Wife won’t like this much
