KEF Blade Two Meta Review

Sure. I connect the LS60s via S/PDIF.

They do but I generally don't.
S/PDIF you mean Optical or Coaxial? I didn’t know that you could do that!

While doing a search here is what I found:
“Using KEF LS60 Wireless speakers as surrounds via S/PDIF is possible but not recommended for standard home theater, as they cannot receive a discrete surround signal via optical/coaxial (SPDIF). They will function as stereo pairs repeating the main signal. For proper surrounds, use an AVR with pre-outs to the LS60s.”

What do you use as your surround processor?

I am doing Coax but I've done Optical.

Is that AI? If not, it is probably someone unaware of doing multichannel without the constraint of a conventional AVR/AVP.

I don't have a processor, per se. I use Jriver or Roon to play mch files via a Merging Hapi mch DAC with analog and digital outputs. There are, also, other ways to do it.

How do you like the three blades for LCR have been contemplating doing it but the cost is a bit steep! Did KEF surcharged the single blade?
