Has anyone received blemished finishes on New KEF speakers? Is this really so rare. The speakers sound fine. I just purchased a pair of R11 speakers new from KEF direct. After they were moved to the second story media room I unpacked them and immediately noticed swirl marks, nicks on the...

KEF R11 are on closeout so I decided to pickup a pair to replace my Q900. After days of listening the R11 seemed to sound similar to the Q900. I was expecting a bigger difference moving up a series. I had thought about returning the R11 and wanted to compare them next to each. I setup an a/b...

Hi everyone, I've been researching high end speakers and amps for a couple weeks now, and honestly it's overwhelming. I'm not super technical so reading reviews and trying to understand the charts just confuses me. I've gone to a couple shops to demo speakers and amps in person but they've...

I have an NHT set up of C4's in the front, C LCR for the center, and the MS Salatalites for the rears powered by a Denon AVR6700 and Kimber Kable 8tc connects. I am really considering going to the KEF R5 Meta with a KEF R2 Meta for the center. There aren't any dealers in Minnesota where I can...

Hi all, i hope my thread is in the placed right area, if not please move it to the right area. Currently i have some KEF R5 (no META) speakers powered by a NAD C268 amp which is sourced by a NAD C658 preamp. The setup is placed in the living room which is about 26 square meters in size. The...

$800 pickup; shipping at cost. Single walnut Kef R3, with grille, bass baffle plug thing, and original box. Bought new a year ago, splitting a pair with another forum member here to use as a center channel. Selling because it doesn't quite fit in the media cabinet and it's lost the battle...

Hi, I measured the KEF R3 meta loudspeakers this time. These speakers have just been released, but I was able to get a pre-order sample (a pair) from an audiophile in Korea. Impedance Frequency response I measure HF responses using a 5ms window gating. Therefore, the...

I've recently been wondering if I should dual amplify my KEF Reference 3 speakers. I am feeding the KEFs through my RPi 4 > Topping D90 > Topping A90D >Benchmark AHB2 I almost exclusively stream via Apple Music thru Airplay 1 from my phone, though I have been thinking about putting most of my...

Hello everyone, A search for new speakers is always a challenge. Currently I have the Bowers & Wilkins 706S2 at home as my main stereo setup and I'm somewhat pleased with the sound of them. They sound very good with Jazz but I have the idea that they aren't a relaxed listening. Much details and...

Hi Folks, Is there anyone here with experience with the Kef Corelli speakers? I can't find a frequency response or distortion measurements. Do you think there is any sense in getting a used pair for something else than love for vintage gear? Thanks!

Hello all, I’m a happy owner of a Matrix X sabre pro 2 MQA And I’ve a random question this evening :) I did move house and for now my audio setup is still in boxes And composed of Network streamer (Rpi 4), Matrix X sabre as DAC, my amp Arcam A39 and a wonderful pair of KEF R7. I’m wondering if...

This is a KEF LS50W II. Very surprising speaker with near zero hiss noise despite being an active speaker. FR/SPL The bass extension is 44.9hz(-6dB). Overall, the balance is excellent, except for 1k to 2k. Directivity...

Community, Looking for some advise. Currently have three KEF R3s for LCR. I’m trying to budget for additional speakers. Two rear surrounds and four height speakers for the “unified layout”. Auro for music up-mixing and Atmos movies/music all via AppleTV. How important is brand matching? Three...

Excuse me if it would be partial repetition from other posts because KEF speakers get discussed here quite extensively but it seems this essence of my question is different and not specifically discussed anywhere. Basically I am looking at building a DIY system functionally similar to KEF LS60...

I’m wondering if upgrading my sub from KEF Q400 to one of the below candidates would have a noticeable impact on the purpose of music listening? In that case which sub (and size) would you go for? - REL T7X - KEF KC62 - I considered SVS Micro 3000 and loved the app, but I don’t like how it...

This is my first post in this fantastic community! I have learned (and bought) a lot! Big shout-out to Amirm and Erin for the reviews! I have an opportunity to buy some very cheap (300$ each) Genelec 4040A monitors (basically a 8040A with phoenix connector) in good shape. I have already bought...

Hi, I have already spent some time with interesting topics and information in this forum. Thank you for that! My current LCR system consists of 2x JBL XTI 80 and 1x ELAC SRL CENTER and 1x ELAC BASS 773. Maybe not the best combination. These Speakers are 20-25 years old. The room is approx. 25m²...

Hello everyone! I'm currently trying to decide between Focal Aria S906 ($1000) and KEF LS50 Meta ($1000). They are both used in mint condition. As for my living room home theater set up, I already have Sony's HT-A9 with SA5 subwoofer, so this would mostly go into my bedroom which is around...
