QUOTE(Mikeyz @ May 24 2012, 07:48 PM) I am using the bottom 2 ports for a normal +/- termination cable plugs.If your using bi-wiring,then it would make some difference on the sound quality as bi-wiring method will separate the output frequency on it's individual drivers for more detailed sounds. Also do take note your only using it for 1 AVR,so that Q u asked a bit weird.LOL Just sharing : bi-amping vs bi-wiringQUOTE(Billyone @ May 25 2012, 11:38 AM) Dear friends, anyone with experience on C4 subwoofer? systems consists of bookshelf as main & C6 centre with denon avr. small room 10x16 feet. worth going for Q400b? big price gap though. agree with mikeyz. as a fellow KEF and Denon user myself, if there are no compelling reasons why u need to specifically choose a KEF subwoofer, then i'd suggest you look at some of the "specialist" sub makers out there. you can start by looking at the SVS, Velodyne, Rythmik, etc. I've never been impressed by KEF's subs so far. the subbie can standalone and need not be of the same brand as your other speakers.

QUOTE(Mikeyz @ May 25 2012, 10:06 PM) How much would a Q400c cost at your place? Most KEF users i know would go for other brands for their subs cause it may give a different bass output and as for your room size, there is a few subs u can consider if your on a budget like Velodyne,Sunfire or Rythmik Audio. Would advice u go for an audition on different subs to feel which one suite your taste.JMHO.  a Q400 sub cost around rm2600 and c4 1100 - klang valley price. how does the other sub listed sounds like from your experience? regards Added on May 27, 2012, 7:48 amQUOTE(terranova @ May 26 2012, 11:38 AM) Just sharing : bi-amping vs bi-wiringagree with mikeyz. as a fellow KEF and Denon user myself, if there are no compelling reasons why u need to specifically choose a KEF subwoofer, then i'd suggest you look at some of the "specialist" sub makers out there. you can start by looking at the SVS, Velodyne, Rythmik, etc. I've never been impressed by KEF's subs so far. the subbie can standalone and need not be of the same brand as your other speakers. noted. start analyzing the other sub brands listed here. regards This post has been edited by Billyone: May 27 2012, 07:48 AM

I am sure u will be more on an eye opener once u had the taste of different sub manufactures to test around compared to the Q400, then from there i am confident to say,u will find the sub that suite u for your setup.

Yeah, quite tempting between F12 & F15 for my sealed room size L13'xW10'xH10'. What is your room size for F12?

I had audition both F12 £ F15, performance would be a significent diff for the F15 , it delivers stronger and tighter LFE. From your room size a F12 would serve u great but if budget permits, the F15 will give u more headroom experience.

Look like I am one of the few who uses KEF sub-woofer. So far ok, but maybe due to me not being a Bass freak. Maybe its the wow factor as everything is from KEF.... look nice with only KEF logo on all speakers and woofer...... For me most of the speaker cable and subwoofer interconnect are from Chord... only surround are cheaper Black Rhodium as cannot afford Chord all around... hahaha.... For me I am looking forward to hear KEF Blade hopefully in this coming KLIAV. Think the R series should be there..... If you want to audition, think can look out for Perfect Hi Fi... seen the R Series in their Amcorp Mall outlet.... Did not pop in to listen tho.....
