I already pushed them in some before taking the measurement.but you already pushed them? or you push the shadow flare when he said that thing?
Push them with left and right thumb, i found extremely easy to push them inside

Maybe?
that measurement was with the umik 1? a little weird because the highs seems to be roll off
there is no variance with the shadow flare thing... with 2 thombs and 30 second you fix the problem.. i saw some Q series with the same thing, don't know if the ls50 too, because when you push the shadow flare, it remain in the same place for a long time..The highs are about right for in room response, I would EQ the 3.5k peak which seems to vary among different R3's for some reason. Mine had a peak more centered around 3100Hz, not sure if that is just some kind of tolerance issue or possibly changes based on the shadow flare position. I do know that the whole shadow flare issue makes me glad I have the LS50 that doesn't rely on it, way too much variance in my opinion.

Check the temp and see what KEF says?Thinking about moving from original LS50's to R3's.
I have a question about heat. My room setup is far from ideal, and the LS 50's have been located about a foot away from "old school" radiators (not baseboards), and that's where the R3's will have to be placed as well.
Will the wooden veneer if the R3's suffer any deleterious effects from being this close to a heat source? Thanks.
i aggre, i fact i buyed my R7s to a guy that doesnt knew that shadow flare thing, after buying them to him i asked why he sold them, he said the mids sound weird, well was the shadow flare...Yes if you know about the problem and how to fix it sure, the percentage of people who even know about the issue is likely very low. With any kind of manufacturing you don't want it to be possible for something like a shadow flare position to be able to alter your design intent, they should have implemented some kind of mistake proofing into the assembly to prevent the problem.
Get someone to tint the window. Doesn’t even have to be dark but the window tints have UV protectionsIf anyone knows, I have a similar question - one of my gloss black R3's is near windows, in the sun all day every day. Anything I can/should do to keep it nice & shiny?
Uh???Just pushed Shadow flare and I do not like how it looks now. "Smart" move. No see difference in sound. I want to move them back in exact same position they were before. Not simple task
Hard to put 100 percent back. Photo shows them now when I move backUh???

I need UMIK. I would by them. ) I miss many things. I need to correct my room.that’s not where it’s supposed to be you’re missing out on midrange performance from an otherwise excellent speaker!!
I do not positioned them as they were. Also there 2 bad postions. 1) Deep in hole where you can see slot on wood 2) Sticked out. What worse?It looks uglier to me with flare sticking out like that.
Lol i didn't realize how small it's in comparison vs r7Erin reviewed the R5:

Is high frequencies with this speaker? I use TPA3255 Ayima 07 (Meanwell power supply) with no correction and feel lack of high frequencies. I heard it with MS6S in soundroom and feeled some lack of HF. I listen at hom now.
Maybe it is signature cause I even heard it through youtube on 660S comparing to Genelec8351.
But is there recommendations to get more HF?
