I bought them both 10 days ago along with a Denon X3800h and a SVS SB-3000 subwoofer and, after quite a lot of AB switching between them, I definitely prefer the R3. Both were EQ-ed with the MultEQ app, several measurements and saved presets. Not sure how more detailed, better separation and...

Hi, Just recently got a Denon x3800h and was trying to test 2 pairs of speakers. Binded one on Front and other on High2 post, positioned them in the room and ran separate calibrations through the MultEQ paid app. The 2 calibration files were sent to Preset 1 and Preset 2. And now the issue...

So nothing to worry. Thanks, guys!

Sorry. The rings. The outer circles, the ones that touch the frame directly.

Quick question for any R3 owners. I bought a returned unit from a local dealer and, at a closer inspection, the upper driver from one of them and the woofer from the other are positioned a bit asymmetrically in the frame: the lower side sticks out 1 millimeter or 2 and the upper side is pushed...

Ordered a returned (should be like new) pair of R3 non-meta, Wharfedale Linton and a SB-3000 subwoofer (got a really good deal for a returned gloss black one at a bit over 1000, the gloss black goes to wife approval factor). Will test and return one pair of speakers. Considering if I should...

Thanks. I got a decent deal for a returned pair of R3 non-meta. Will listen at a bit more over 10 feet and will use a SVS SB-3000 subwoofer. I suspect it will be fine.

I am very interested in music but, until now, was mostly headphones, have a pretty decent collection of those. Another thing to consider is trying to keep the spending somewhat limited and buy, at least at first, the things that would bring the most improvements so maybe I should mention the...

Thank you! I was really considering no center, at least for the moment. Not even sure if the room qualifies as 30 or 50 square meters, given the shape. Not looking to fill the space, just to have good sound on the couch, where my listening position is. How much of a difference would Emotiva...

Was looking around for separate amps and I can get either Emotiva BasX A2 or Emotiva BasX A5 for for 410 and 475 USD, respectively. Would this help with power/make a difference as far as LS50 Meta or R3 Meta go? Also, is it possible, should I get the A2, to have just the front 2 channels...

Hi, I have a Denon X3800h on order and I was pondering on speakers to pair it with. Candidates at the moment are: 1. KEF LS50 Meta 2. KEF R3 (non meta) 3. KEF R3 Meta 4. KEF R5 5. Wharfedale Linton Will have 1 or maybe 2 SVS SB 1000 Pro or SB 2000 subwoofer. See below a rough drawing of the...

I have a Denon x3800h on order and I was considering these, along with LS50 Meta and R3 (non meta). Given the 4 ohms impedance, how well would the receiver be able to drive them? Not sure if makes any difference, I plan to add one or two SVS SB 1000 or 2000 subwoofers. Any thoughts on the...

The Clear is definitely my favorite headphone (also have the LCD-3 and Sennheiser 660) but I cannot disagree too much with Amirm's review. Not sure what the tradeoff was for Focal but clipping at such low volume sometimes is just bad design and should have been avoided, considering the asking...

Yeah, indeed :) Poor Clears can't get there, no way in hell. Assuming you don't mind not going there though, awesome headphones.

That Pascal Gaigne track (Un espejo en el Cielo) seems to be a killer for quite a few headphones. Tested on Audio Tehnica ATH MSR7, Sony 1AM2, Sennheiser 660, 6xx, Verum One, Focal Clear Professional (same as Clear, different color) and Audeze LCD-3. Past a certain volume (not ear splitting but...
