    Choosing speakers for my new streaming and amp setup - Kef LS50 Meta with subwoofer?

    So I recently went into the streaming space with a WiiM Ultra and added a Hypex Ncore NC252MP amplifier to that setup. All good stuff so far. Next up is to get a couple of reasonable speakers for the setup, not because the one I have are crap. But because they don’t fit visually and are huge...

    KEF speakers close to the wall

    Hi, After few years of using Marantz PM6006 with Dynaudio Emit M10 I decided for an upgrade. Because of room specifics I decided to go for Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 with room correction. I also liked their power user capabilities. When it comes to the choice of the speakers I narrowed it down to KEF...

    amp rec: KEF R3, excellent detail and "punch" at low volumes

    I have the KEF R3s and SVS SB1000 sub. When I demo'd these I could hear great detail in the music at low volumes. I believe they were demo'd with Hegel H190. I have the Cambridge CX81 and am not satisfied. I did try the option mentioned on here about the A07 headphone amp, and that was severely...

    KEF R3 vs. Philharmonic BMR Grudge Rematch to the Probably not Death Thread

    As none of you recall, I tested the roadshow BMRs that Dennis was kind enough to ship all around the country last year and posted a lengthy thread about the experience. And, I ended up liking them enough to buy a pair. They even unseated my KEF R3s, which I sold shortly after receiving the...

    KEF R3 + Loxjie A30?

    I want to purchase KEF R3 standmounts. Is Loxjie A30 a good match for them? My setup would look like this [PC usb -> A30 -> R3]. I plan to also get a subwoofer later. Wondering if the grille visible in the photo could affect how they sound anyhow?
