    Thanks for sharing that. Not surprising but very funny.

    Electrical cable as speaker cable

    I'm looking for (cheap) brown, round, flexible cable to use as speaker cable. Hard to get in the UK, it's always black, brown or orange. Except "lamp cord" that is, which they do in f an old school brown fabric. It's only 0.75mm though (I think that is 19AWG). Is that OK to use?

    May I ask which amp did you get?

    Do Class D amps need to "warm up"?

    I'm considering purchasing a Nord Value Line MP NC252 power amp. £349 here in the UK. To get a 12v trigger, it's an extra £25. But they say in the FAQ on the website that "There is a small warm up period about half an hour." In which case, if true, why would one get the trigger WOuldn't you...

    WiiM Amp Pro Streaming Stereo Amplifier Review

    Would be keen to hear views on this. I’m deciding whether to hold out for the Pro or get the original for about £120 less. Are the measurable improvements really audible in the real world?

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    You mean perhaps by just using the "Default" in the EQ settings?

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    If one was using something like a Wiim Ultra / Pro streamer with the LS60, in order to assist with equalisation, how would you "bypass" all the equalisation stuff that's going on in the LS60 itself? Don't you just end up with two devices and apps you need to configure?

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    Thank for the replies. Even if I did measure with REW, I still have to actually fix the issues don't I? Id still need something to allow me to apply EQ to my taste? (Which it sems I can't do within the KEF app.)

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    (I'm in Greater Manchester.) I'm listening to my own files ripped from CD, and vinyl on a decent Technics. Always sounded great on my last system. Due to failing health, I switched to the KEFs to get rid of all the boxes I had - don't want my wife to have to deal with all that - and switch to...

    Can you get REW to work on a phone or iPad?

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    Thanks Keith. I had Harbeth M30 before (with REL sub). I fully appreciate it’s probably just a matter of what my ears are used to but nevertheless there’s a little thump in the bass (don’t know what hz) which irritates me. No amount of adjustment in the KEF app can remove it.

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    No. I don’t have a laptop and nor do I have access to one. The thing to note is I’ve not experienced these “issues” with other speakers in my room. It could well be that the KEFs are technically perfect…but just not to my taste!

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    I recently got a pair of LS60 speakers and I’m struggling to love them. I find my ears get a little tired after half an hour or so and there is a bump in the bass which irritates me. I gave up trying to integrate my REL sub. Why KEF can’t just give access to simple EQ/ tone controls I don’t...

    Help setting up KEF LS60 with REL sub please

    Thanks for the advice. i have been experimenting (it can get very confusing/frustrating! I should make notes to record what changes I have made...) There is an option in the KEF app to disable "High pass frequency". Is disabling this supposed to simplify the setup process?

    Help setting up KEF LS60 with REL sub please

    I am trying to integrate my REL T/9i sub with my KEF LS60 speakers and it is proving a technical challenge to say the least. Seems I need to be a maths wizard! The main problem is that there are controls on both the sub and on the KEF app. So, I have connected the REL to the "sub" (phono)...

    Kef LS60 wireless review by ErinsAudioCorner

    Does anyone have any tips on getting the speakers to connect wirelessly? I've had to switch mine off a couple of times over the last few days while installing my new kit and every time, they lose the connection. The last couple of times I've just kept clicking buttons until they connect, but...

    Kef LS60 wireless review by ErinsAudioCorner

    Yes, I think black (carbon?) is my first choice. Alas, the full retail price of a new pair is beyond me; I have been keeping an eye on the KEF refurbished store (UK) and they only have white. They had black last week and I dithered and missed out...I could kick myself now.

    Kef LS60 wireless review by ErinsAudioCorner

    Well, I just did something I've not done for a very long time. I went into town to a "hifi shop" (Richer Sounds in the UK) . They didn't have the LS60 but they did have the LS50 in white and grey. The whites were much starker white than I imagined. Probably too bright for my taste. I did...

    Kef LS60 wireless review by ErinsAudioCorner

    Does anyone here own these in white? If so, are they reflective and distracting? I'm considering them but, stood either side of my TV, especially when the curtains are drawn and the lights are down, concerned I may just be too conscious they are there in the corner of my eye especially with the...
