What is the best way to set up two KEF KC62 with a Mcintosh labs mx123 processor

Hello everyone.

I am not as subwoofer person and have in the past been fine with using my main speakers Songs Faber Cremona  for base.  However, as new content is coming out with Dolby Atmos and 3D object oriented surround effects, I decided to update my Pre-Processor and also get two small (because of space) KEF KC62.  

CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO SET THESE UP USING THE MCINTOSH MX123.

 

THANKS

I use a pair of KEF KC62s with LS50 Wireless IIs controlled by the KEF Connect app that runs on an iPad.  If you could download that app, it sets a number of parameters for the KC62s.  Not sure how it would function in your setup, but it does an excellent job of integrating the subs with the wireless speakers.

1) Place your subwoofers in corners if possible. I like the drivers pointed at the wall about 2-3 inches away. Maybe front left corner, rear right corner.

2) Set the crossover on the sub at max or bypass, as the processor will handle the crossover. Set the phase at 0. Run the Audyssey setup as described on page 123 in the manual.

3) After the setup see how you like the integration.
