a cheaper upgrade might be to try the ATN 95EX stylus. I put this onto my AT95SE cartridge with good results. Sounded more engaging to my ears anyway!

hi all so option1 check out running Kef's plus sub without driving Kandy to extreme levels. Use db metre Step 2 research active monitors as an alternative if option 1 doesn't get decent results. Thanks everyone

Also, absolute fidelity of sound and accurate integration of sub with speakers not necessarily a prerequisite in the larger room. 90% thereof would do.

I can but try and common sense will prevail. I dont intend to blow up the kefs. The sub will also be used at home as i find that the kefs lack bass at normal home listening levels. They need to be played too loud in this environment to show their best qualities, at least too loud for the...

Thanks for everyone's comments so far. Looking at kef ls50's specs it says maximum loudness is 106db. So as long as i stay benaeath that i should be ok? Unfortunately there is no eqivalent spec for the Kandy that i can see. Buying a home cinema amp to control bass output is not an option...

Hmmm. Ok. I always assumed that is what setting the crosssover frequency did?

It was those little woofers that were working overtime the harder I pushed them. They lost control of the base once and I turned it down sharpish. I figure if I let the sub take over from 70/80 hz down that will take away a lot of the load? ls50's are hard to drive little buggers 11 o'clock...

yes. I was worried about that too. Realise Kandy is rated 140w. What do you think is the max the ls50's can take? thanks

Hi all. First post in ages! I have a BK subwoofer on the way to compliment my LS50's. There will be times when the system needs to play very loud to fill a big room. Hence buying the sub. Demo'd my kit in this room the other day and I had the Roksan K2 BT turned up all the way to 4/5 pm...

Have you looked at the arcam Airdac? Through upnp this will work for Android phone and pc. It has airplay for Apple products. It sounds great Too!

The arcam air dac doesn't have usb But fits your other criteria. For streaming from your phone it is a fantastic option. 229 pounds at richer sounds is a bargain.

Hi there i upgraded my quad 21l2's in January after 3 years of solid enjoyment iI now have tannoy precision 6.2's and enjoy these more. at the sound and vision show in Bristol I really enjoyed the Focal floorstanders ( arias I think) and the new tannoy xt's were very good. Will

Hi all, I am enjoying my recently acquired nait xs very much...but this weekend tried out an Arcam Avr 100, which for getting some pure bass grunt out of my tannoy's was the superior machine, though not in any other areas! as an aside though those old arcam avr machines are not a bad purchase...

Hi there i am really enjoying my 6.2's. For 999 they are a big step up the n my quads. The main improvements are in imaging, clarity and separation of component instruments...much less wall of sound. I owned the K2 for a while and no reason why it won't work well with the Tannoys Haven't...

Thanks Plastic Penguin came very, very close to purchasing that Arcam on impulse yesterday! I have owned an Alpha 10/p9 combination in the past and that system had real power but lacked insight. I am guessing the newer Arcam amps have improved in that regard? It is certainly a route I might...
