Hey guys, I purchased from Crutchfield--they recommended the setup. You guys might be right in terms of the harsh sound being because of the hard surfaces. My listening distance is roughly 6 feet away..

Yes all hard furnishings and hard surfaces, no acoustic treatment. Sitting or standing has only slight effect in my estimation.

Sure, the speakers are about 4 feet apart on an entertainment unit on the rubber feet that they came with. They are toed straight forward, and I have tried various listening angles right in front, and off to the sides to see if there is noticeable difference. There are slight differences in...

Thanks for the additional comments all! The speaker wire I'm using is Monoprice Choice 12AWG Oxygen-Free Pure Bare Copper Speaker Wire. Roughly 2 Meter strands soldered to the NAIM plugs on one end and bare wire into the speakers.

I got rid of my lsxes for the same reason and also did not think they sounded good. I liked my x300a wireless but kef stopped supporting them and the app and software never worked right. Kef isn't committed to customer experience imo

Hi all, I am looking for advice on building out my office critical listening setup--but it also needs to drive my TV in my office and preferably network sound as well via ethernet. I tried out a pair of LSXes since I had previously been impressed with KEF. However, the LSXes did not sound good...
