I have the Cambridge CX81 (though looking into other options) powering my KEF R3s and SVS SB-1000 sub. The Cambridge has 2 sets of speaker outs. Could I use those to "Bi-Amp" the R3s or do I really need to use 2 different amps? I have two A07 on order for bi-amping. But am skeptical that they...

Hello! So I have the JBL 590s as Mains. Currently have been testing various options for center ( another 590 is not an option any time soon). The JBL 520c and 530 were not up to par as a center. The Klipsch 504c, RC-64 III and RC-7 have been the ones I have tested more now. So far the RC-7 and...

Hello everyone I am still embarking on this open baffle journey. I currently have a passible analog crossover for the Kef Q100 coaxial woofer and tweeter driver in the baffle. My goal is to actively blend two woofers coming that will arrive Wednesday and be placed on the same baffle...

Thanks for another speaker review, @hardisj https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/kef_q150/ Discuss!

hi all, i wanted to connect a couple of good speakers to my Yamaha CA-610 amplifier in my bedroom, which measures 10 x 10 ft. I would like to use the stands placed at the corners, main use for listening to music, I would not like to use the subwoofer, only if necessary .. thanks to this forum...

A fascinating insight into the design of the LS50 Meta. Lots of interesting visualisations so even a layperson like me can follow along!

Hey guys! First time building a system, but have been dreaming about it for a long time, so am very excited and looking to build something that I can enjoy at least for a few years before upgrading. Because of work, unfortunately, I don't have as much time as I'd like for researching and going...

Hello all! Sorry if this post is similar to discussions already had, I’ve read through everything and couldn’t quite find the info I was looking for. I’m looking to upgrade from my KEF LS50 speakers that I’ve owned for about 6 years. I’m currently running them with an Arcam A49, and am looking...

Hi Guys, Hoping to get some help. I'm very new to the HT scene. I had recently bought the KEF Q750 for front L/R, and KEF Q650 as centre, and a Yamaha RXV-2085 AV receiver. I've now only realised behind some boxes in the basement, were a pair of Onkyo Integra TX-DS989 (apparently top of the...

I'm trying to figure out which Kef Uni-Q generations were used in which speaker series based on their announcement dates and further info. Kef Uni-Q website shows a current timeline...but with missing speakers to get the full picture. Sorted by Announcements Dates: Generations 1-7, from...

I am replacing my old floorstanding speakers in my 5.1 setup with bookshelf speakers and I just cannot decide because I do not have a lot of listening possibilities here. I might swap out my really old mid channel so that might also get upgraded. My speakers are powered by a Denon AVR X3400H and...

Hello! Long time reader, first time poster. I'm looking to 'upgrade' my existing streaming/TV (via HDMI) 2.1 channel set up and have narrowed down two options. I'm moving from a Sonos AMP with KEF Q350s and KEF Kube 10" Sub (will keep the sub and maybe upgrade to an SVS or KEF KC62 later). I...

Hello Everyone, I have two pair of KEF q100's I got for super cheap. They sound great for my surrounds but even better when I plugged the ports. I was wondering for home theater if I could make some pretty tiny sealed boxes to be able to place these tiny things just about anywhere. Looking...

After finishing @Floyd Toole 's The Acoustics and Psychoacoustics of Loudspeakers and Rooms, I became interested in conducting a blind listening test. With the help of a similarly minded friend, we put together a test and ran 12 people through it. I’ll describe our procedures and the results...

Comes with every factory accessory, double KEF boxes and all manuals. My price is $750 + shipping. They are in perfect condition. They sell $1300 new. $900+ used. They are audiophile speakers that fit the desktop or any other application. I was skeptical until I heard them. There are no...

i need help selecting a DAC with headphone amp. as the tittle says i have a KEF lsx i want to use as my pc speakers mainly for music and games. i want to be able to connect my headphones aswell and be able to switch. very noob at audio stuff. thanks

Hi there, I'm about to replace my Kef IQ 9s with the new LS 50 Metas. I got a NAD C 326BEE (https://nadelectronics.com/product/c-326-stereo-integrated-amplifier/) and plan to place them in a 24 m2 room. Behind the amp, there's usually vinyl or digital from a Topping E30 coming in. Any thoughts...

This forum has been a wealth of great information. I have learned and geeked out a ton! I thought I should share my own experience and observations setting up the Kef LS50 Meta with a SB2000pro and the Denon x3600h preouts to a Luxman R117 for amplification. The TLDR of it is that this...

Hi guys! I am looking for a pair of stereo speakers with a budget of up to $2,000. I recently was made aware of the BMR Philharmonitors' glowing reviews. Since they're a three-way design, in my mind KEF R3s are a natural competitor to the BMRs. Does anyone have a comparison of both speakers...

Hello friends, this is my first post on this site, so please forgive me if I'm missing out on something. I'm aiming to build a setup in Germany for max 500€ (roughly $600), that I can fit on my desk and connect to my PC via USB (any maybe phone via BT). As I prioritize deep and smooth bass...
