Nice. I did end up getting the KEFs for the loft, along with a Denon 3700, connected to a 3 channel Emotiva amp powering the fronts.

Still need a matching center speaker to finish the set, waiting for a sale.

Love the Kef's. My coworker just got some q950's and dual Crown 2502's. Imaging is spot on, sound stage is WIDE..and the output is damn near concert levels.

Budget helps. Room size? What are you gonna run it off?

Budget helps. Room size? What are you gonna run it off?

like 12x15
budget: idk, would like to spend 500 wouldn't mind up to 1k
preferably run off nothing,, was leaning towards the sonos sound bar + woofer + satellite speaker setup

 

[computersputin]

You trying to run these off of a television or a computer?

 

[slaughterx]

Get a decent stereo or 5.1 AVR and a couple of nice bookshelfs, add a sub later. Let me see what I can put together for a stack...

Better option if you ever want surround sound in the future

This is also a good option at half the price, but no option to upgrade or add better speakers in the future

KEF Q150 are $300 on Amazon. You can kinda play around here with speakers. Aiyima A07 is a serviceable amp for them at $80. Loxjie A30 if you want something more fancy. Dayton 10"/12" subwoofer for $150-$200. Get you some speaker wire, banana plugs if you want, stands, an RCA to 3.5mm cable and you're set.

If you want to go active speakers, perhaps a set of Kali LP6s.

Just got the Samsung Q990B soundbar at under $1000 after taxes and this system blows my old one away.

 

[slaughterx]

1k for a sound bar... thats wild (even though I have center speakers that cost that much).

OD for a office setup. Kanto YU2 or YU4.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

appreciate all the reccomendations ill peruse

 

[frank mucus]

The Q990B is an 11.1.4 channel soundbar with two satellite speakers and a sub. I didn't want to mess with buying every separate component and dealing with wires.

Reminds me of old PC speakers. SVS makes good speakers... but for $900 you can get a decent 5.1 AVR and some entry level floor standers or bookshelfs that should blow those away. Do you need wireless fronts? They make more sense as rears if you can still connect to an AVR.

i like these cuz they have airplay 2
don't feel like doing a whole avr setup but we will see if these arent' good might return em
im using them as desktop speakers

Just realized theres a new 16 inch Klipsch subwoofer that is twice the wattage of my 15 inch (800 rms). Also cost twice as much... might cop if it ever goes on sale for half off

Also I did finally finish my KEF set up in the loft. Caught an Amazon warehouse deal and got a new 650C for almost $300 off retail. Might take an update pic later...

 

[rwfanatic]

There’s better sub brands than Klipsch.

 

[slaughterx]

I know... I am just keeping it all Klipsch in the living room.

such as? i might cop the svs mini 3000 to pair with my wireless's if i get bored

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

so far im liking these svs prime wireless, the sound is super nice on the highs and the lows, the bass has a nice punch but obviously a sub would make a difference, i missed hearing sounds like when someone is breating in a movie

Hsu, rythmik, svs, and my personal favorite, Monolith have great subs.

The Kef R series is being cleared out... thinking about upgrading again already! Just copped the add on Atmos speakers for now but those R11s are looking really nice.
