Hi. I am using a pair of KEF Ci160qr Ceiling Speaker on the Sonos Amp. At low volume the sound is good enough. But the sound gets highly distorted at high volume. I have just used the default settings on the Sonos Amp. Can anyone let me know, what the best settings for this combination. Thanks in advance.

At what specific volume level do the speakers begin sounding distorted?


Hi. I am not sure. I just setup and was playing around. I will check that in details tomorrow.


What are the ratings for these KEF speakers?

Hi @pateldivyang84 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

8 Ohms and 125 watts sounds great for the Amp.

Have you checked how securely the speakers have been fitted in the ceiling? Perhaps the speakers themselves are vibrating, rather than just their cones?

I hope this helps.
