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.

Wanted to love Kef KC62
After spending several days comparing the KEF KC62 and the SVS SB-1000 Pro, I really wanted to love the KC62. I’m not a bass-head at all — I just want clean, musical low-end to pair with my KEF LSX II LT. The KC62 does sound good on its own: tight, controlled, and impressively small. But the moment I put it side-by-side with the SVS, the difference was undeniable.
The KC62 sounded thin in direct comparison, while the SVS delivered noticeably deeper, fuller, and rounder bass that still stayed clean and accurate. For music listening, the SVS simply felt more natural and effortless, with real low-end weight the KC62 couldn’t match.
The KC62 is a great piece of engineering, but for pure performance, the SVS is vastly superior. I ended up returning the KC62 today and keeping the SVS — it’s just the better musical subwoofer.

Exceptional Pairing with KEF LS50s: A Game-Changer Subwoofer
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.

Perfect little Sub!
The LS 50’s without this little sub is not a complete system! You can hear how well they have been developed to make the perfect small room wireless set up! For $4K you cannot buy a better speaker system. I auditioned th B&W’s as well as the new Sonus Faber, both costing much more but not nearly as good! I have long been a fan of KEF all the back to my first 104.3’s and KEF continues to produce amazing speakers. The bass of the KC62 is tight and very defined but not overwhelming. I have these set up in a small apartment living room which I believe they were engineered for, in a large room I do not think they would be as impressive.

Box arrived damaged, hum at 60 hertz coming through the speaker
Like UPS damaged the box in transit, and decided to put it inside of another box for Transport. When I took the item out, it looks like the inner box and the packaging took the major brunt of the damage, and the subwoofer seem to be OK after plugging it in there was a low level hum that would not go away regardless of the outlet and that’s without the subwoofer cable even plugged in.

Very nice woofer
Very nice woofer. Very small size yet very heavy! 40lbs. The woofer has a volume and 5 presets and also it let's you set low/high frequency to produce in a woofer rather than a speaker. It will give you the perfect setting for any other system or environment. The only bottom side is that the coaxial cable is not included and you need to pay additional 150 to get a wireless adapter.

My reference subwoofer
I have two of these KC62 (stereo) for my reference system in a 20x30 ft room. This subwoofer has a lot of wiring options and these subs sit between my tube preamp and my tube amp.
Bass definition is one of the best I heard, I own stereo REL T9x and svs sb2000, I also tried the svs sb3000 micro but ended returning it. The bass punch is sufficient for my room and I do not need room shaking bass (I got my SVS for that).
If you are looking for room shaking subs, go elsewhere. However, if you are looking for bass definition, this is it.

Nice
Excellent. Subtle but strong! Perfect for my small space (I'm going to modify the cabinet so it fits underneath). Looks sharp and doesn't take up much room. And wow does it make an impact! Blends smoothly with the Q950s at 90hz crossover, at least in my space, and sounds great right in the middle thanks to the two side firing drivers.
