KEF KC62 Subwoofer (White)

A musical sub-woofer, extremely easy to tune with DSP Great impact at the low end for moderate sized room, less than 10 feet Zero vibrations for such a compact unit. You can place them at varied locations, not just on the floor. The DSP modes at the back are extremely useful for this.

Love this subwoofer! Awesome performance up to relatively loud levels. Super musical, integrates seamlessly with a variety of equipment. Very compact, beautifully constructed, sonically faithful. Recommended without reservations for small to mid-sized rooms for music. Not recommended for people who prefer disproportionately loud thumping for home theater or gaming. Fine for loud music or movies, with the caveat that the system dials back lower frequency signals at high volumes to prevent damage and to ensure quality reproduction.

As a long-time fan of compact subwoofers, I've owned several, including the SVS Micro 3000, Q Acoustics, and a classic Velodyne HGS-10. Initially, I was skeptical about the KEF subwoofer due to its small drivers, being accustomed to 8-inch or 10-inch units. The absence of advanced features like SVS's active equalization also gave me pause. However, all my doubts vanished after experiencing the KEF. I am now a true KEF believer! I was genuinely shocked by how seamlessly the bass integrates. It's incredibly difficult to discern that a subwoofer is even present, a stark contrast to most subs that often introduce noticeable frequency bumps or dips. With the KEF subwoofer engaged, my LS50s gained several octaves of seamless extension, significantly enhancing the depth and width of the soundstage. What's even more impressive is that this small subwoofer reaches notably lower frequencies than my 8-inch driver SVS 3000. Another astonishing aspect is the near-zero cabinet vibration. I expected a small sub to "hop around," but this unit seems to defy physics. I cannot overstate how perfectly this subwoofer complements the LS50s. Furthermore, its compact size and the fact that it houses 6-inch drivers make it an instant conversation starter among friends. I'm unsure how KEF achieved this, but the result is fantastic! I wholeheartedly recommend this subwoofer to anyone who owns a pair of KEF LS50s. Regarding its $1600 price tag, I'm enjoying it so much that I would gladly pay more. After all, I've invested in three or four other subwoofers in my quest for the "holy grail" match for my LS50s, and this KEF has finally delivered.

This subwoofer is exceptional, and (quite literally) punches above its weight. Hard to believe that such tight, controlled, and punchy bass comes out of this tiny unit. The seller shipped it very promptly.

When I received this subwoofer it come in an amazon box, which, once opened, had the original KEF product box inside. The original box was badly damaged, and had clearly been opened already, and poorly at that. When I opened the KEF box, the subwoofer had been incorrectly packaged and the protective trays inside the package were half torn up and degraded. I pulled the subwoofer out and there were scratches on it and a dried up loogie (yes, someone had spit on it). Bottom line, this was clearly a return, and one that Amazon didn't even evaluate before they sent out the door again. I wonder how many times it had been returned before?? Not cool, Amazon, especially for a $1500 subwoofer. Obviously I returned it, but not before firing up the sub to see what it sounded like, as I was really curious to see if KEF had pulled off the impossible. I'm well versed in adjusting subwoofers to my space and after spending some time getting it calibrated, I had the subwoofer roaring. Truly impressive what KEF has pulled off, however, it just doesn't sound as good as traditional larger subs. It's cool that it's so compact and can fit into tiny spaces, but it's not the bass I'm looking for, and probably wasn't the bass that the previous purchaser that spit on it and returned it, was looking for either. I'd give the sub 3 stars for bass quality. I ended up going with the SVS SB 1000 Pro, which is a bit larger and not quite as aesthetically pleasing, but more than half the price and I'd give it 5 stars in sound quality. Getting a returned and damaged sub at full price was enough to scare me away from ever buying sound equipment from Amazon again. Would highly recommend another retailer, like Crutchfield for this kind of equipment. I still am very grateful for the services Amazon provides, but this purchase certainly left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm using KEF LSX II bookshelf speakers paired with a KEF KC62 subwoofer in my small bedroom. They make a great combination. If you feel that your bookshelf speakers lack sufficient bass, and you don't feel immersed when watching movies or playing AAA games, you can add a KC62 subwoofer. It will instantly elevate the experience, allowing you to become more engrossed in the audio-visual content. If you enjoy listening to hip-hop music, it will also perfectly reproduce the full range of the music. With the rhythmic bass, you'll find yourself unconsciously moving to the beat. The bass is deeper and more powerful.

JUNK!! Subwoofer has constant popping sounds. I have tried using the ethernet cable for faster internet connection to air play with Apple Music, still have popping sounds. I play music via Bluetooth and AUX with my record player, still have popping sounds. Heck, when I don’t play music at all, there are popping sounds. I unplugged all power source for a whole day and when I plug everything back in, still have popping sounds.

Very good for a small size subwoofer paired with a KEF XIO soundbar.
