![]() I did't take a REW measure since many months, but really, I didn't touch anything in the room, expect the add of the KC62, so I am attacking those measurements (one bypass and one with the correction). I own an UMIK because in the past, before RoomPerfect, I used Dirac Live. I have not experience at all of higher values speakers in my room, but, i'm also happy to hear from you that my actual setup is good. That's why I open this thread, I want to understand how much to spend if I want to keep Kef advantages and improve the mid-bass area. Said that, I'm curious to check if an upgrade of the loudspeakers could solve that issue, but, in the same time, I'm afraid to lose something about the Kef. With any other kind of music, instead, the active correction is better, but even without it, the result are excellent.Ībout movies, action movies, the results are very good, not issue at all. When I listen to that kind of music I even prefer to bypass the active correction, in fact, with the active correction that issue is even more. There is not EQ, correction, and everything that fix that issue. The issue is the mid-bass area, where the woofer thump, in the electronic, hip-hop, rnb and similar music, there is fatiguing. Mids (to me) are excellent and highs (to me) are excellent too, without any fatigue. Those speakers are decent, so it would be quite a bit more to get better speakers and the results would likely be shades better rather than transformational.Įdit: I forgot to mention the free tweak: speaker placement can make transformational changes.Įverything is fine from the bottom to the highs, the match with the KC62 seem work perfect, even the most lowest LF is very good and never distorted or wrong. This should also give you about 6 dB more bass power if you find yourself running up against the maximum output if the KC62. You could try adding another KC62 in a different location to get smoother bass throughout your room if this is a problem. ![]() If you are using a PC as source, this could be as cheap as buying a UMIK-1, or it could involve replacing your receiver or buying a MiniDSP.Īnother problem that people often face is uneven bass. What are you using for a source? I would say that the biggest upgrade you would notice from this setup without replacing anything would be to implement some form of room equalization (look at MiniDSP, DIRAC, REW, Audyssey, YPAO). Also, fiddle with the corner/wall/apartment settings. ![]() If you can't hear where the KC62 is in the room, the higher the better. I would experiment with 120 hz or 140 hz for the crossover. I would try to set the crossover frequency as high as you can because the LS 50 Meta has trouble in bass as the frequency gets to 100 hz and below. Here on ASR, we have shown with science that some expensive products are very very good and some are very very bad - cost is not a good indicator of performance and therefore shouldn't be used to decide upgrades.Īre you using the equalizer and crossover built into the KC62? It is a pretty well thought out unit.
