Spotify (finally) supports Lossless audio

I can hear a difference between very high on Spotify and CD quality on Tidal on my stereo. I asked my friend to verify with music she likes, and she confirmed she also heard it. The difference is extremely subtle, but certain elements of the audio do come through more smoothly and the dynamics seem

Passive alternative for LSXII LT?

If you are an iPhone user you can install Google Chromecast and test also uPnP. I have run TuneBlade on my PC hoping for the low latency Airplay 2 gets via Apple 4K TV but no luck. uPnP, DLNA and Chromecasts sound better then Airplay 2. WiSA is even better and the speakers much improved using WiSA t

KEF purchase (or not)?

You're right. All KEF speakers need 4-ohm stable amplification, and any that rely solely on a single Uni-Q driver for full-range (Q150/Q1 Meta, Q350/Q3 Meta, LS50/LS50 Meta) for anything other than nearfield listening must be used with a subwoofer and high-passed to protect them from low frequencies

Cracks observed on KEF LS60 speakers

So these cracks just showed up recently? I was planning on saving up for the LS60. Now that will depend on how KEF responds to you. I don't see any people saying they have cracks on their LS60 though. Did anyone go to your house while you were on vacation? I haven't seen a LS60 in person, but I own

Bedroom setup KEF LS50 Meta vs Wireless II

I came back to your post to see if you already made a choice.I'm the one who already had Wireless LS50s, which broke down. Good luck with the WIIs, if you decide to pick them. I'm sure they will sound great. I'm still struggling to find out which amp to buy with the metas. Because of your post, I'm

LS50 Meta or Wireless II

Kef Meta are passive speakers and can remain if upscaling to surround. If the amplifier also has a sub woofer output you can extend the bass. The signal path remains analogue, which vinyl collectors like. Whether you or I can hear a difference or not. The LS50 II wireless are among the best stereo s

Should I keep this LS50 Meta ?

Yeah I got the pair for that price. It looks like a store display and upon careful inspection, that small ding on the first picture is the only problem I could see. It came with the original box, foam plug, manuals etc and I was able to register at KEF for the 5 year warranty. I decided to keep it.

Should I keep this LS50 Meta ?

Sorry to hear that. My description on my open box is Good Condition and it came in the original box with everything. It also came with the 5 year warranty. Like I said, the only issue is one small ding on one of the drivers. So KEF will replaced both drivers for $300? It will come out to around $700
