I was completely satisfied with my Paradigm subwoofer until I brought the KF92 home! The 11Hz low-bass extension gets all the glory, but I'm equally as impressed by how low the distortion is from this subwoofer. It is simply unheard of to have a subwoofer with this amount of clean, detailed bass; with unbelievable low bass extension; while also being in such a small cabinet. A next-generation subwoofer indeed. Amazing.

I do read about KEF subs often, typically in the discussions of musical subs in 2ch setups. They come up often in discussions with comparisons to REL, and Martin Logan. HT not as much as they're tuned and voiced for tightness and impact rather than SPL and ULF. In smaller rooms with significant room gain, sealed, compact subs are the way to go.

@@Kwarkiemodo it came in yesterday, hooked it up today. While I haven't completely dialed it in yet so far I'm extremely impressed. I thought my 15" ED was great for years, and never really thought of replacing it until it started making rattling noise. It was also way too big a box at around 25" around to be reasonable in my small living room. So far the KEF is just on another level. The amount of output for such a small box is incredible, and I'm only at 50% volume. There is tangible output all the way down to 10 hz, things are shaking in my room that never have before. No cabinet resonance, it can be going full blast and if you put your hand on the box there's no vibration at all. Super tight bass as well, it can start and stop on a dime. I can't forsee ever needing more or bigger bass, I just don't think anything could do better, especially at this size in my space. Highly recommend.

@@IkariWarrior1701 Thanks for notifying me back. Good to hear you like the subwoofer so much! I'm still hesitating which one to buy. I think the size of the subwoofer is very important and that it has a tight bass in music but can also produce nice low sound in movies. The Arendal 1923 2s has almost the same price. 1200 watts with 17-200hz at 3db. But the size is much bigger. Could just go with the Arendal 1923 1s with 800 watts at a much lower price (1299). Don't know what's smart. The Arendal gives 5 years warranty on the amplifier and KEL 2 years. Have read that their old amplifiers gave a lot of problems. Also the size of the subwoofer is very important. Want to keep my wife happy too:). Just do not see a white version of the Kel and I have everything white in terms of speakers.

It is tight and sharp for this size too. My only complaint is that it is too glossy. Easily to suffer micro scratches on the exterior. The price also increased by quite alot now. If you are lacking space and still wants something that rocks, have money to spend, this is the woofer to get.

What I was alluding to is that even in the US I would imagine most people don’t home demo their electrical equipment, although given what you said about dealers offering free returns perhaps I was exaggerating with the number :) however I stand by my point that most people would buy a sub “on spec” without testing it, based on reviews. Of any of the components in a home cinema I would say it’s safest of all to do it with a sub.

Since you also did a video on dual sb-3000's, how does the Kef KF92 perform against the SVS SB-3000? I know the kef is smaller and costs more, but the sb-3000 is still an amazing size. It basically comes down to do I just get high gloss sb3000's and save the difference? Or does the KF92 offer more than the sb-3000 and so just pay more and get the smallest subs out there for better performance.

While I’m sure that KEF isn’t lying about the 11Hz extension, they don’t specify at what SPL that is. Typically, subwoofers compress at higher levels (see the Hsu website and sub specifications). I really doubt that these things can supply 11Hz at anywhere near 100dB. For $2000, I would recommend two SVS SB-3000s or just about any $2000 REL.

@@glennQNYC Holy crap. Frequency response at 8:29. That's just unbelievable. Bob Carver couldn't get close to that with his old opposed 8" sub. I mean, that's like flat to 10Hz and +/-3dB at 7Hz! This is very impressive for a tiny sub, and not bad at all for a $2000 sub.

At the moment i have a kef kube 12b and im a bit disapointed because i habe a big living room(35qm) and i hear at high volumes(-18db with audyssey dynamic eq at 0db and i get some distrubtion with this sub.

@@91DivineAngel It's not the fabric causing the noise distortion on your Kef Kube amplifier. It's mostly down to it not having enough amplifier wattage to keep up with certain frequency peaks 👍🏾 For a big 30 sqm room like yourself you will need minimum a 12inch woofer subwoofer with ported or passive radiator. Also it having at least 500w built in amplifier power 👌🏾

The Kef KF92 has two 9 inch woofers and 1000w RMS amplifier but it is a sealed subwoofer. Whereas the BK Monolith Plus has a 12 inch driver with a bass port and 500w RMS amplifier. Even with double the amplifier power the Kef KF92 won't give you the weighty rumble kick to the chest that the BK Monolith Plus does. For music the Kef KF92 will be better but for movies the BK Monolith Plus will be better even though it can't go down quite as low frequency.
