Compared with LS50W1 , I didn't like LS50W2 for one reason, they Limited the bass excursion to protect the speaker, it sounds less impactful to me now. I hope they fix this problem in version 3
As you can see sony AVR have a problem with bass. The best thing you can do is trial and error to find the best setting. Which mode you are using? SSM? try turning it on and off you will feel difference.
Update!
The hiss and distortion sound is back. Tried to resolved it today, here are my observations:
First thing I noticed, if bluetooth is set to transmitter (and enter/exit setting menu to take effect), the hiss and distortion sound is reduced by 95%, but I lose my back heights.
Second, if...
Update

I'm now at 5.1 setup, will test the height speakers later, if they work well, I will be a happy consumer...hope I'm not overpaying for kef height speakers. Target setup 5.1.4, hope az3000es can drive them effortlessly...

Thanks for your advice, for certain reason I'm unable to return it and need to live with it.
So any suggestion to lower the distortion would be appreciated.
I noticed that when I changed my surround speakers to kef the distortion decreased a little bit. Also lowering the volume helped. Is...
Hi
Az3000es received yesterday, set it up and impressed by its sound overall.
I only experienced one issue, when SSM turned on with relatively high vol and quite film scene I can clearly hear distortion from speakers, specially from surround speakers which are placed close to me, other modes...
still a myth??

Hello
I went to the shop today to try the new KEF LS50 wireless II, i was pretty impressed by the clarify of the sound and how separation between instruments.
But comparing with the older version, the new one is a big disappointment in bass factor.
im not sure if its because of the speakers...
