KEF KC62 - Uni-Core - Compact Force Suppression Subwoofer - Carbon Black - 1000 W

My original original review started with . . . .Works well with my LP12, Blu-ray and SADC player, Cyrus amp and Acoustic Energy tower speakers.. . . . but now the KC62 has totally changed my speaker setup and made the sound even better.It may sound unbelievable, but with the high pass frequency set near its highest value the KC62 would produce the whole bass range of the previously bi-wired AE towers as well as the intended subwoofer range, while disconnecting their bass halves would leave the AEs' mid/treble halves as effectively the upper end of bi-amped speakers.And it worked! The top end has improved massively in crispness just as bi-amping promises, while the whole bass range has a new beautiful relaxed, tonally rich quality. Plus, with all the positional clues coming from the improved higher frequencies, the sound picture may well be clearer now despite a single off-centre subwoofer providing so much of the frequency range.What a bonus!

Arrived with cone dented and I have to take the hugely heavy damn thing to a post office where there's no parking! There's no clear opening times, only closing times. Info displayed on Royal Mail website has different opening and closing times.

Great performance but with some issues. Terrible support. Returned.

Edit du 13/04/24: je mets 5 étoiles car il y a un paramètre sur (l'horrible) appli Kef Connect qui permet d'activer en permanence le caisson quand les enceintes Kef s'allume, mais ce n'est valable uniquement qu'avec des Kef connectés... Dommage pour ceux qui veulent le brancher sur un ampli.Commentaire d'origine :Connecté à mes LX2, ca donne tout simplement une autre dimension au son et ramène de la rondeur au LX2 qui ont un son plutôt plat (même en les réglant via l'appli).Vu la petite taille du caisson, on peut le poser sur le meuble TV, ce dernier ne vibre pas du tout malgré la puissance. J'ai un salon de 30m² et aucun problème, ca bombarde. 1000W ca chauffe, même à volume raisonnable, mais c'est acceptable.L'étoile en moins, c'est pour le même souci que certains décrivent : il faut "pousser" le volume sonore pour qu'il se réveille. C'est vraiment dommage qu'il faille l'utiliser à un volume soutenu, car quand on réduit le volume après, on ressent toujours l'apport du caisson, mais ce dernier se remet en veille au bout d'une minute (et le son redevient tout plat). Kef devrait augmenter la sensibilité (où donner la possibilité à l'utilisateur de le régler) pour la sortie de veille et ce caisson serait juste parfait !

The KEF KC62 Uni-Core Subwoofer delivers powerful, deep bass in a remarkably compact design i can barely see it in my livingroom . With 1000W output and force-canceling tech, it provides rich, distortion-free sound, perfect for high-quality audio setups.

This was the first subwoofer I purchased, but I wouldn't consider buy another one instead. KF92 is tempting, but I wouldn't sacrifice the compactness of the kc62. This subwoofer is very good and I even prefer my ruark mr1 mk2 connected to this over my pair of ls 50 meta without it.The sensations it gives are fantastic and it's easy to setup quieter when you need to not bother your neighbours. Even If it cost a lot, I couldn't resist buy a 2nd one to see how enjoyable they can get. Didn't felt the need for a 2nd one actually, I'm still waiting for it and hoping I'll be able to spot a difference, because it is soo good right now I wouldn't be suprise if another one just add more coverage.

¡Este subwoofer es un monstruo! Pero en el buen sentido. Realmente ofrece frecuencias graves que se SIENTEN. Mi falta de espacio significaba que un subwoofer de "tamaño completo" no era una opción, pero, después de leer muchas críticas sobre el KEF, decidí comprarlo. ¡Y vaya! Funciona de maravilla con mi MA Silver 100 7G y el amplificador Rotel A14 MKII. ¡Las películas cobran vida y la música, en particular los bombos y los bajos, tienen muchísimo realismo! ¡Vale cada centavo!
