I have the KH 150's paired with one KH 750 and have more than enough SPL than I'd ever reasonably need.
Buy one, try it and if it is enough, keep it. If not, return it or buy a 2nd one :)
Question. Does the wiim pro have the option to limit the min and max output volume?
I ordered one as a potential replacement for my Bluesound Node (having them side by side now) With my Bluesound Node I can limit the min and max volume. This is a relevant feature for me as I plug the streamer...
Thanks @audafreak
2 questions for my understanding:
1: Why the DA conversion from KH750 to KH150 and again AD in the KH150 when everything could stay digital in your example / the digital chain? (Bluesound Digital out, KH750 Digital in / out, KH150 Digital in / Analog out)?
2: If the case is...
@schallmauer Could you please look into this? Any insights from your side?

But interesting enough that more people post about this independently and with the same observations.
I was doing MA1 alignment and was very happy with the results when playing music through my laptop to test results (which means route 2: focusrite + analog).
When disconnecting my laptop and...
Thanks for the effort!
So, exactly the same experiences...
Reading the link you shared, one conclusion is basically that the D/A conversion in the speakers is subpar and could better be handled by a superior DAC before the speakers.
That's disappointing, especially for the price and give more...
Question.
I noticed that the speakers sound quite different with the 2 following setups:
1. Bluesound Node > digital coax Out > KH750 digital in > KH 750 digital out -> KH 150 digital in / out (so, fully digital)
2. Bluesound Node > usb out > Focusrite Scarlett > KH750 analog in > KH 750...
I bought a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd gen for this. Works fine indeed.
I have to say I underestimated/was a bit disappointed by all the stuff needed to get it to work though (audio interface, network switch, ethernet cables, analog cables to subwoofer) Alle extra costs on top of the E250.
Thanks a lot for this tip. Obvious maybe, but it didn't occur to me until you mentioned it...
I experienced the same: wanting a bit more bass at lower volumes (dynamic EQ) in home setup. But I don't want to / cannot fiddle with MA1 all the time.
Now I enabled tone controls on the streamer...
With the Bluesound Node, internal DAC is not used with digital out (because you stay digital. No need to convert to Analogue there).
But correct me if i'm wrong.
I have the KH150 connected to Bluesound Node (Wiim Pro not yet available in EU) by digital coax.
The Node controls volume / inputs (so both music and tv run through them with auto-select)
Nothing else is needed, except digital coax cables and perhaps a KH 750 ;)
