I'm in a situation where I need some help to make a more informed decision. I was planning, later this year, to buy a pair of R3 Meta for our living room (L&R speakers). Since I already have my endgame subwoofers I was trying to build towards my endgame speaker setup. Hence the choice of the R3...

Hi everyone, I recently wanted to upgrade my main speakers. My room is 15 square meters, and I am currently using a pair of jbl studio690 as the main speakers. Their sound is good, but I always feel that there is something missing when listening to music. The r7 meta is the cheapest among them...

Hi all, just got a used KEF Kube 10b. Because its sides are full cloth wrap, I was interested how it looks inside. You can see from the images it's not a standard sub box. Top and bottom panels are removable because of the cloth, and the woofer is installed from inside. The dampening material...

Hello, Need suggestion here, looking for upgrade in speaker. From Audioengine HDP6, i want to buy the replacement. Seems like KEF R3 and Linton got nice review here (and in Erin‘s review). No floorstanding because my job require me to move from time to time to another town (about 2 years). In...

I just bought a Wiim amp and Kef R3 metas.I will be listening to the speakers around 3 meters away from them. I have looked at the specs and the amp should deliver enough power. But then i read some articles saying that the Kef R3 needs a beefier amp. So now i am confused.

I have been researching a lot recently, but I am still a bit confused about which speaker to choose. I have 3 speakers I have been looking at: 1. Kef R3 Meta 2. Ascend Acoustics Sierra-LX. 3. Neumann KH 150 I am wondering which speaker is the best one for me or if there are some better...

Hello I’m considering buying a pair of speakers to go along with a new amplifier and streamer. I haven’t bought anything yet, but I’m pretty sure about the amplifier, Yamaha A-S501, and streamer, WiiM Pro. I hope to find a pair that can play nicely without the need of a subwoofer due to space...

Hey, I have some pretty good headphones and iems but the only speaker i own is an Ultimate ears hyperboom which battery dosent even last that long. So i wanna finally buy some good sounding speakers. Info: I live in a pretty small apartment around 40m2. And my couch is around 3-5 meters from my...

A couple months ago, there were pictures teased of the black ls60 and we all thought it was a brand new speaker. Kef bamboozled us. Yesterday, ever so quietly they launched a new version of their R- series in wall, 3160 (R7 equivalent?) and 5160 (R11 equivalent?) with META. In Canada, the 3160...

Hey i got a pretty small room and can get booth of these subs pretty cheap for 619€ (12b) or 499€ (10b). I only listen to low/Medium volume Max 90db 99% of the time. Speakers are Elac DBR62, which i wanna cross at 120Hz. I found the following measurements: Should i invest the extra 120 for...

Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster. Doing my first real HT setup (Atmos 7.2.4) and would love some input on speaker selection, placement, and other miscellaneous items. LCR: In-Wall KEF Ci3160RL Side surround: In-Wall, KEF ? Rear surround: In-Wall, KEF ? Atmos: In-ceiling, KEF ? AVR...

Hey community, I am moving to a wired setup for my rear bed and height channels and putting both units up for sale. Purchased directly from Dynasty in April 2023 (standard) and June 2023 (Plus variant). Only have original packaging for one unit. Will include the RCA cables I bought on Amazon to...

Hello, after some research, I've narrowed my choice to few speakers/amps. I'm planning to listen wide variety of music in my living room (40m^2 of open space), which unfortunately, is not and can't be acoustically treated (except for the rug and maybe some curtains). Seating/listening position...

Hi all, I’m a newbie who has read through the forums here the last couple days to step up from a Denon M40 to a proper HiFi setup. I mainly stream classical music. I’d also use the speakers for our TV. The room is fairly small (3x4m) but with high ceilings and open to an adjacent larger room...

Hi. I've been enjoying an Atmos 5.1.4 system for six years now. My surrounds and Atmos speakers are Kef E301s and Kef T101s. My LCR speakers have been Kef R100s, which have worked well until recently. My center Kef R100 broke and it is not worth it to get it repaired. I also cannot find them...

Hi, again. This time, it's KEF's R6 meta. Impedance Frequency Response It's pretty flat except for some of the HF above 10 kHz. The bass extension is 70.7 Hz (-6 dB) with -14dB/oct slope. Nearfield Measurements Directivity Overall, it's a very smooth and well-controlled...

Hello, long time no see! I'm back with a center speaker from the KEF's Reference Series. I took pictures when I was measuring it, but the pictures provided by the manufacturer are cleaner, so I'm posting it here. Impedance Along with a smooth phase response, the linearity is...
