    KEF LS50 Wireless II - various questions

    What you describe here is the reason I revived my old account and am posting this message. It really all feels as if it needs to get a stable connection in the beginnning and when playing music over Spotify it usually takes about five seconds before I hear sound from the second speaker. But...

    watt per channel is irrevelent!!

    Normally Davedotco responds to questions such as these. To save him the trouble I would like to point out that there are three main issues here: 1) The volume knob can be deceptive. Loudness of the system at a certain position of the volume knob means nothing. Some manufacturers make sure that...

    Cables Make No Difference - Thread for the people who think this is true to comment in

    I think you're being overly rigid here. It's really a matter of semantics: if I would say 'cables make no difference' I wouldn't mean that they do nothing at all or that there are no differences between cables. It would be a statement about whether people are able to hear differences between...

    Cables Make No Difference - Thread for the people who think this is true to comment in

    Next time make sure it's a blind test, do it with a group of people and write down and publish the results. After many documented experiments, you are going to be the first human soul who is able to discern real audible differences between normally capable cables under proper test conditions...

    The OP learns a lot. He learns that A) cables don't matter and B ) it's better not to ask stupid questions about cables. Anyway, you're aware that this is a public forum[/b] and the information provided in a thread is there for everyone to read. Due to this specific open nature of the forum...

    Event Opals - Where can I audition them (Yorks/Humber)

    Hi Dave, it's been a while. The pair of A5X's are still going strong :-). Anyway, so one of the strenghts of the Opal Events (solid reproduction of low frequencies) could very well be a vice in some households. That's interesting. I consider the Opal Events a possible candidate if/when I move...

    Event Opals - Where can I audition them (Yorks/Humber)

    But what could possibly be the problem (and the reason behind it) if they aren't properly set up? 1) assuming that there is enough distance between the speakers and the walls. 2) compared to other speakers. And why would one classify a speaker such as the Opal Event to be more of a midfield...

    Active speakers suggestions

    You're welcome. A little while ago I was also looking into the Nubert Nupro series ( a-200- but eventually decided on somewhat cheaper 2nd hand monitors). I haven't heard the speakers and when I enquired here a while ago, nobody else did. I suppose that has a lot to do with the fact that this is...
