Is a power amp the better route vs integrated?

Hey,

Setup:

KEF R11 Meta

Denon AVC-X8500H

SVS PB16 Ultra

~2.5–3.5 m listening distance, open living room

Use: 50% HT / 50% music (rock, electronic, vinyl + streaming)

Problem:

Stereo sounds a bit flat / lacks body and punch.

Considering:

Rotel Michi X3

Hegel H390

Advance Paris A12 Apex

or just adding a power amp to the Denon

Question:

Which option would give the best improvement for this setup?

Is a power amp the better route vs integrated?

Thanks!

How much toe in do you like with your KEFs?

I have Q1 Metas and theyre toed in almost directly at me. I havent tried no toe in as most of the speakers i tried required toe in about a foot behind me. But i think i like almost right at me better since i moved my couch back and left them how they were. Im just curious what you do and what youve found

KEF LS50 wireless w/ sub sound incredible

I paired this with a sub for a friend (SVS 3000 micro) and this combination just sounds absolutely incredible. Cannot recommend enough.

If you’re on the fence, do it. You will not regret it

KEF LS50 Wireless ii constant disconnect

Hi after a brief honeymoon period I've been having absolute nightmare with the KEF LSII wireless. Constant disconnects. I've reset it multiple times. Set it up on a 5ghz network that didn't work. Now connected to a dedicated 2.4ghz band and still can't be found in the app to turn on. If I turn it on manually on the touch panel I can connect via chromecast (but it's compressed audio only) and even then it stops playing sound.

I'm honestly at my wits end and classically days out of the returns period. Peter tyson have offered to collect it but won't refund it has to be sent to kef for repair. My concern here is it could be away for months and the diagnosis inconclusive and they'll blame my WiFi settings/ router... As is the issue with WiFi enabled devices. For the record I have sonos surround sound system that works flawlessly I know my WiFi is fine deco75 pro mesh WiFi)

Cut a long story short is it worth sending for repair or should I call it quits and buy something like a wiim ultra and connect via coaxial? Wanted to I ow other people's experiences.

Kef ls50w2 ayuda instalando subwoofer

No logro sentir que está todo integrado con el subwoofer rel t7x, alguien ha probado este match?

Que comparta las configuraciones por favor. He probado de todo; filtro paso alto y bajo como recomienda ref y también solo filtro de paso bajo a 250hz y cortando desde el sub. Mi sala es de 3 por 5 metros y tengo unos paneles acústicos de fibra de vidrio a los lados de los parlantes y atrás. Están a 70 cm de la pared trasera y a 30 cm de las laterales, el sub lo probé en una esquina y debajo del escritorio. Y con el puerto lfe y el low input. No sé darme cuesta de su diferencia real
