It is also very small, so you place it right at the center of your HIFI setup if you want.Sound:The base is deep, clean and has very fast response. I pair it with LS50W. It adds so much depth to everything I listen to. The tricky part is to find the right crossover frequency. The beauty with paring with LS50W, LSX or any KEF active series is that the KEF app allows users to adjust both high pass and low pass filter on the fly making it much more convenient to tune the crossover point. It's still a time consuming process, but that's also part of the fun.Power:You can't beat physics, even with two woofers, they are only 6 inch and you can reach deep bass but not at high volume. Or if you want high volume, it cannot reach as low. But I feel the the power (pressure) is way more than sufficient for me. Unelss you use it in a huge home theater room, i feel that this is way more than enough. Personally, I dont listen at very high volume, but even that, when watch movies or shows, the subwoofer is already more than powerful for what I need.If you are a bass head, this may not satify you. Also, this is not for hosting party, banquet. But for majority people who live in apartment, or a regular house, the power of KC62 should be more than suffificent.Also, I feel that bass does not always have to be at loud volume. It's the subtle but deep bass that is the most impressive.Setup:With the app, setting much is much easier, But within the app, (for non-KEF active speakers owners), there are still manual knobs at the back of the KC62 to adjust the cross over. There are also a built-in EQ switches on the back of KC62 to adjust if you are positioning the subwooder at a corner, near a wall or in an apartment. So , the setup process and the amount of freedom in adjustment is above average compared to other subwoofers.Value:At this list price, this is this very expensive. You can get a larger size SVS subwoofer at almost half the price. If you are looking for value, you won't find it here. That's why i am only giving it 4 stars. If you already own LS50w LS50WII, LSX , LSXII or LS60W, KC62 would match very nicely.

Pairs nicely with Kef ls50 wireless II. Bass is nuanced and blends well. It’s not going to rattle your windows but it adds so much depth to the music. It’s great for music but not so much for movies. Perfect for a 2 channel music set up.

I looked at a lot of subwoofers and read lots of specifications. I wanted one that wasn’t so big and conspicuous and many of them, but added more bass to jazz. I also didn’t want the whole room to vibrate during movies. The KEF KC62 was the best one for my needs. It blends into the room and sounds great.
