    Great video. Would I “need” a subwoofer for a room 5m X 8m X 2.7m. Use for music and movies.

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  Год назад +2

      Good question Paul - but a tough one to answer. Happiness with the amount and impact of the bottom end varies so much with each person's perception. You might find in a room that size that you are delighted with the bass from these (which is pretty substantial) - someone else might want more. In our view, adding a sub and carefully dialing it in is almost always a plus, as it can make significant improvements to the sound-stage, as well as the bass impact and realism.

    This is a very interesting speaker. Without a center channel, how clear is the dialogue thru 2 tweeters? And how is the bass with 2 speakers facing out to the side and 2 speakers facing inward, most likely reflecting off of the TV or cabinets? Thanks.

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  10 месяцев назад

      Hi StevieG, yes, LS 60 is fascinating; a complete package without a rack of gear taking up lots of room. The bass is surprisingly good, and having multiple bass generating drivers is a plus. It is not a home theater set-up, so there is no true center channel speaker, but dialog in a movie soundtrack is very clear. We hope you can visit for an audition

    • @stevieg3078

      Thank you for your quick response. I am looking for a Soundsystem that will predominantly be used for watching movies & series on Amazon & Netflix. I want the voices clear & easy to understand. But when I do listen to music, I want to feel like I'm listening in person. I worry that the LS60s cannot measure up to a surround system @@GramophoneMD

    Hi do you think it is good set up for usage for home theatre for Netflix?

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  6 месяцев назад

      Hi Kopman, we love this product, especially at its price of $4995. It is a fully functional 2 channel system, and in our view, movies sound great with them, esp.if you add a sub for a 2.1 channel system. If your main goal is 5 channel or 7 channel (or more) home theater, you may want to choose a home theater receiver and a multi-speaker package. Please reach out to us to discuss further: ask@gramophone.com. Thanks!

    Hi, Any known issues with these electronics / amps/ system? If there is an issue with these speakers amplification, is it an easy fix? Is a preamplifier needed? Thanks.

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  Год назад +1

      Hi Richard, preamp functions are built into the LS 60's, so none needed. Thus far we have not seen any known service issues, and the amplifiers seem very stable

  • @gustoaudio8711
    @gustoaudio8711 9 месяцев назад

    I don’t really understand why there’s no passive version of these in the €2.5-3.5k price range. Maybe because it would sound far too close to the Blade 2 at a fraction of the price.

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  9 месяцев назад

      Hello Gusto, thanks for your comment. Part of the answer is that if the speakers were passive, you wouldn't get the quality of bass available from a slim cabinet with the system approach to amps, software, and woofers interacting as these do. The closest product in the KEF passive line-up is something like the R5 Meta @ $3,998 USD: skybygramophone.com/collections/kef/products/kef-r7-meta-floorstanding-speakers-each

      Thanks Daniel, there are some digital, and a standard analog input, on the back of LS 60 to make it easy to hook up some additional sources, as follows: Inputs: Primary speaker, HDMI eARC, TOSLINK Optical, Digital Coaxial, Analog RCA , USB Type A (service), RJ45 Ethernet (network), RJ45 Ethernet (interspeaker)
      Secondary speaker: USB Type A (service), RJ45 Ethernet (interspeaker). This is a sweet system and hardly takes up any room

    Can we still use the ls60 in a home cinema system where we already have an amplifier and some speakers ?

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  Год назад +1

      Hi Swall, yes, you can - but you would be getting quite a bit of technology that you would not be using, as you'll have similar technology already in your system. You might look at the R7 Meta, also a slim tower from KEF, which aren't self-amplified and with all the wireless technology that LS 60 has in it

      ​@@GramophoneMD Thank you. R7 are definitly interesting and i look at them quite a lot since you adviced them. In this particular case, it's in the context of a sound bar environment so i think i can't link the R7 to the soundbar, reason why i though of the ls60 for the music system, independant from the little "home cinema" system base on the soundbart

    Can you add 5 of these for a 5.1 system?

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  Год назад

      Hi Michael, while these can pair with each other, you would not have the A/V steering logic that is available in a home theater receiver that sends audio specifically to the center channel, from left to right and front to back, etc. So no true home theater experience without a pre-pro

    My heart is saying Yes, however my brain is saying No. I cant help thinking how a compact system like this wont have issues as time passes. What I am thinking is when there is a amp issue it fails, when it has a driver issues it fails, and so on. I truly hope this will be so well manufactured there will be minimum issues in the future. I will consider this in an additional room, but not to replace my current 5 amp system.

    Too bad KEF don't support there expensive products with 3-5 year replaceable drivers and 10 years on the electronics like Buchardt. KEF's past history with customers and product support is very poor. Poor wireless and networking issues and very poorly written apps. Something this expensive should be backed and futureproof guarantee and peace of mind when your paying a lot of money on something like this.
