Just about to add two KEF KC62 compact subs to our LS60s,
https://uk.kef.com/products/kc62-subwoofer
Integration is absolutely seamless using the KEF ‘connect’ app, and the subje can be placed anywhere in the room and connected wirelessly via the Kef KW1 transmitter/receiver, neat, elegant and completely painless.

KEF wireless at Purité Audio London.

A new delivery from KEF a couple more KC62 force cancelling subs and the KW1 wireless transmitter/receiver ( up to four subs can be connected using one transmitter) , I am going to experiment initially with two subs on the LS60’s and then perhaps a multi sub set up aiming for a more even in-room response .

Added a second KC62 sub to the LS60’s , this is the Kef connect app, where you can select the parameters for either Kef or OEM subwoofers,


There are basic and expert modes , KEF subwoofer parameters are already preset but you can of course adjust to taste.

Slightly gloomy photo of KEF KC62 sub in Titanium grey next to Titanium grey LS60’s.

I usually listen to the subs set to ‘stereo’ and so far to be honest can’t really hear much difference between stereo and mono settings.

Could you measure the LS60 with and without the KC62?

My measurements (REW) at the time showed that when using KC62 with my Reference 3s the bass was worse (lower SPL) than with the Reference playing alone (xover 80Hz). So I got the KF92. Given that the LS60 also have quite capable bass drivers I am curious how the KC62 do with the LS60s?

Edit. Typo

Just a quick reminder that we Purité Audio London have the complete KEF ’wireless’ range available for evaluation.
The nomenclatur ‘wireless’ rather does them a disservice, they are all super speakers the LS60s in particular are superb, tonally very similar to my ‘reference’ the D&D8C.

We ( Purité Audio London) have the complete KEF ‘wireless’ range available for evaluation/demonstration.
LSXII, LS50II and the superb LS60s plus multiple KEF subwoofers.
Smart house but I can’t help thinking the Blades are going to need some cabling.

Hi @Purité Audio is that 4, KEF KC92 subwoofers stacked for a system? Is this the new thing to do? It's very aggressive and intriguing.

Yes Doodski that is our new house I just have to connect everything up!
I strongly suspect KEF would like to sell everyone 6 KC92 subs and a pair of Blades.
( not really our house) and the seat is on the low side.

Does the kef system high pass your ls50 or whatever mains when used with the subs?

There is obviously money to be made renting out your house for audio photo shoots, minimal fuss, no ’system’ or cables required.

I appreciate the building architecture although it really isn't my style. I like warmer and softer/inviting. Otherwise yes I could rent it out for photoshoots. :D

Yes the KEF’ connect app has high and low pass, settings pre-configured for the KEf range of subs and ‘custom’ for OEM models.
If Kef could just add peq.

How nice and tidy. So, in theory, you could assemble a very powerful system but visually small system with the ls50 and a stack of subwoofers. I like that approach.
