New KEF KC62 Not Responding?
OK, I've had a full week with the KEF KC62 subwoofer now. The rest of my system is a Rangarok-2 amplifier, Rega Planar 1 Plus turntable, and KEF LS50 Meta speakers. My taste in music is somewhat eclectic: I listen to a lot of jazz and big band no...

The Ragnarok-2, Elac UB52 (on sale now at $455), and U-Turn/Ortofon Blue combination would come in at $2,790. That would be pretty amazing if you all think it works well.
