[unboxing] KEF LS50 Wireless
It could be that the producing the low frequencies are just interfering with the midbass drivers ability to produce clearer mids. If the bass is muddy it could be the room which can be corrected for with acoustic treatment or room correction software, ideally both. To get a real idea you'll need...- ChasingDopamine

[unboxing] KEF LS50 Wireless
I expirence the same thing whenever I set bass extension to 'extra'. At the end of the day the LS50W has a 5.25inch midbass driver but can pump out a solid 40hz. Theres only so much a small driver can do and there is a compromise with the midrange clarity in my expirence. I found it was...- ChasingDopamine

[unboxing] KEF LS50 Wireless
I'd say the cost is worth it, it will definitely make a huge difference. Much more than cables, lossless formats, DACs, even amps. Having demoed my LS50W in untreated and fully treated rooms they sounded like completely different speakers. Yeah it's pretty expensive for the professionally...- ChasingDopamine

[unboxing] KEF LS50 Wireless
Acoustic treatment is the best way you can spend your money for SQ. Absolutley worth it and .a massive difference. You never really listen to just speakers, you always listen to speakers in a room. I can't recommend treatment enough. #1 most overlooked thing in stereo audio. Start by treating...- ChasingDopamine

[unboxing] KEF LS50 Wireless
Quick question regarding the LS50W. does everyone plug each speaker into a seperate power outlet?

Might be something to do with your amps transformer. My Naim Nait 5si hums like a hornets nest sometimes (with and without my 2Qute. It might be a ground loop or some kind of issue relating to your electricity supply. Perhaps try a different socket or circuit and see if that has any impact? It...- ChasingDopamine

Welcome to the club! Ive had my 2qute for about 6 weeks now and still loving it. I agree it is in a different league to the mojo. There is still something about the mojos tonality and amp section I love with headphones, but it has no place in my speaker system anymore. As for headphone amps...- ChasingDopamine

Does anyone have any expirence running the 2qute via a stereo amp and speakers with high input sensitivity? I'm currently running 200mv sensitivity (max input 2.5v) and looking at a rega mp which is 164mv (max input 10v). It's a trade-off of extra sensitivity Vs increased maximum input. Would...- ChasingDopamine

Reference: KEF LS50 Speakers <- Cyrus One Integrated Stereo Amplifier <- Chord 2Qute DAC <- {*variable input*} <- Tidal Hifi via {Android app direct/UAPP/BubbleUPnP/Amazon Firestick app) Regarding the use of...- ChasingDopamine

Definity in agreement. I'm a big fan of the chord house sound signature and was torn between the 2qute for £700 or the qutest for £1200 for my speaker system. Ive had mine for just under a day now and it's insanely good. An incredible steal for under 700. It sounds much better than a mojo...- ChasingDopamine

Actually i think you were right mate. I put in a pair of RCA cables and the rattling dropped significantly. I then also removed the plastic cap for the toslink input and it disappeared completely.- ChasingDopamine
