New fan to the Strokes in the past couple of months - initial thoughts...

Hi everyone,

I’m a new fan of The Strokes, having only recently discovered their full discography after years of only knowing "Last Nite." At 48, I’m a bit embarrassed it took me 20 years to dig deeper, but I’m officially blown away. While I enjoy their rock-driven tracks, I’m particularly drawn to their electronic vibes and textures, such as the song "Games." Given that I typically listen to Tame Impala, Radiohead, jazz, and electronic music, I’m curious about the band's side projects and solo work. What would you recommend for someone looking for a more electronic or synth-heavy sound? I am also really looking forward to the new album.

On a side note, I recently found out a close friend of mine attended high school in New York with Julian, which has made this late discovery even more interesting.

Range Rover Sport 2021 back TAG - WTF?

You would think after spending this kind of money on a Range Rover, they could at least make the rear tag mount look decent. There are only two screw holes on the top, so the bottom of the plate sticks out slightly and looks cheap. Anyone else annoyed by this?

I currently have the KEF LS60 Wireless with two subs, and honestly… it sounds basically perfect to me. My source is a Mac mini with lossless files, plus a CD player in the mix. For under $15k all-in, I genuinely think this is one of the best systems I’ve personally heard.

That said, there’s a part of me that misses the passive setup—separates, amps, that whole process of dialing things in.

I definitely want to stay in the KEF family. So the question is:

Is there anything in the KEF lineup that would be a substantial upgrade from the LS60s if I went back to a passive system with a high-end amp and kept my two subs?

Or am I already sitting in that sweet spot where gains become marginal unless you’re jumping way up in price?

Curious what others think—especially anyone who’s gone from LS60 to something like Reference or Blade. Lastly, I know my tv is too high but there is an issue with the wall in my condo. :)
