Amp for Kef Q1 Meta

One special thing with KEF speakers are that they have a very low EPDR impedance. What this means is the impedance the amplifiers "sees" while in motion. A KEF Q1 Meta get as low as 2.1ohms and most AB amplifiers will have a issue with this. However, class D have no issues with 2ohms and will happil

WiiM Amp Ultra, Powernode N331, NAD C 3050, or something else?

I have the m1. I did have the WiiM amp ultra. Don’t care what anyone try’s to tell me, the m1 sounds significantly better, just more powerful sounding. I also use tidal connector AND the HEOS app. I don’t find the app to be much worse than wiims once you get to know it. Caveat though. Im not using K

Advice needed about KEF for my computer.

So, while the Wiim Amp and the KEF Q1 Meta would be a fine pairing, the Wiim does not have a USB DAC, which is the most common way to connect a computer. Does your computer have an optical or digital coaxial audio output?

KEF Q11. Do I need an amp or just a nice AVR?

You can see your detailed impedance here: https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/kef_q11_meta/ I have Kef R5 that has even lower impedance and I drive them with my Denon receiver to the point of ear pain. They sound great. (Also driving Kef R2, and Kef Q1 for surround) There are lots of people

Opinions on back surrounds

If money is not a barrier, I think the LS50 would be great. Some might consider it overkill for surrounds, but I think its tonal neutrality (apart from a small dip in the upp-mid range) will match with the R7 pretty well. As for LSX II, I do fear its loudness may not be able to match the R7. It's a

WiiM Help (Ultra or Amp Ultra)

I have owned my Wiim Amp Pro and KEF Q1 Meta speakers for a year and really the only thing that I think is need is more power and possible a small sub. I plan to upgrade to a Wiim Amp Ultra which has 100w vs 60W currently with my Amp Pro. I want to keep my system as simple as possible for my office.

Looking for recommendations on a starter setup

Since I assume you will also be using your TV as a source, consider the Bluesound Powernode N331. It has HDMI eARC the unique capability of driving two or three channels, giving you the option of adding a center channel speaker, with enough power to drive any KEF speakers that would fit your built-i

Should I keep my B&W 607 S3 or switch to KEF (Q1, Q3, or Concerto)?

I'd go with the KEF Q Concerto Meta's unless you love the B&W house sound. I've heard a few of the KEF QM line & the B&W stuff, I personally find the KEF's to be more accurate and immersive: the coaxial/UniQ on the KEF is really nice. If you're looking for controlled & full bass + a clean sound, the
