My room is 12 wide by 17-21 ft long (its irregular) and 9 foot ceiling, lots of diffusion and absorption in various areas. I have the KEF Wireless II (previous two speakers were KEF Wireless, Energy Veritas 2.3i) and SVS SB3000, nearly the same combination that you’re considering. A few perspectives: the new Wireless II sound better than the original wireless/LS50 as the high frequencies are more realistic, less edgy (i give credit to the absorption of the back wave from the “meta material” and the improved crossover) and the speaker is more dynamic and is more effortless (I give credit to the more powerful amplification).
I think the tonal balance of the combination is good and I was able to easily integrate the two speakers using the combination of the KEF software and the SVS software. I was able to strongly manage the standing waves with the bass traps but its always easier to handle the bass room resonances with 2 subwoofers. I crossover with the KEF app at 75 hz. The SVS app is great to adjust and the 3 parametric equalizers can help you with your room.
I love the sound of this combination. The boxes the are important to me are: 1) Imaging 2) Smooth 3) Strong bass. It has tremendous imaging with space around each singer, instrument. The only imaging that I’ve had that was better was an electrostatic combination but those speakers were huge and had big mid bass issues. I think the coaxial approach simplifies the vertical frequency response challenges. I’ve been an audiophile for a very long time and I highly recommend this combination for rooms of my size. I think it would be capable of a larger room but not sure on its limit.
The couple of things I’m considering are room DSP and 2nd sub, but haven’t felt the need to pull the trigger…..yet.
