• Subwoofer

    I plan on adding a subwoofer to my current setup.

    I'd need to hook it up to the KEF LS50 II, live in an apartment and need to fill a room of approx. 8 x 5.

    I'm currently using the speakers both for TV / movies & music alike.

    Any recommendations? KEF seems the obvious choice in terms of connectivity and setup but open to suggestions!

    Baby proofing

    Another challenge that's rapidly coming up, is the arrival of our son end of Feb. My partner's worried about the current speakers from when the little one starts to crawl around. I've looked at filling up the stands but I'm not sure it would be sufficient? Any experience here?

    Hate to be that guy but, I'd save your money for baby shit and nursery fees. It'll be years and years before you're able to listen to the sub or your speakers, so there's not point in wasting your money.

    The two considerations are kids putting their fingers through speakers/breaking them or knocking them over and injuring themselves. Wall mounting speakers like in a cafe is probably your best option. Putting them on a bookshelf is going to be the easiest compromise you can all live with.

  • I put my ls50s on these cheap habitat shelving units a couple of months ago. It was more an idea of a cheap weighted stand (via books) but we're expecting in January so hopefully they'll also work for when they crawl. That centre channel may not be so lucky thou...

  • I got rid of the stands when my son started to crawl and I moved the speakers up. The first time his older cousins came to visit they poked the dust caps though... Whatever you do just accept it might be damaged with kids around.
