Hello,
I'm currently running a pair of KEF R7 Meta speakers together with a KEF Kube 10 MIE subwoofer on my system.
The subwoofer was recently added after it (although only one) reproduced the bass range much better than both R7 Meta together without subwoofer.
The subwoofer is currently positioned to the right of the right speaker (near a corner of the room), crossover frequency is 90Hz.
I have also attached two screenshots, one showing just the two R7 Meta (2.0) and one showing the R7 Meta together with the Kube subwoofer (2.1).
In each case with and without Dirac activated. The Dirac profile currently used is relatively linear (+1 in the bass and -1 in the treble for the sliders).
Unfortunately, there is still a dip at around 100Hz, which I can't get rid of even with a high crossover frequency of 150Hz to the subwoofer.
The general increases from approx. 120Hz to approx. 900Hz are corrected quite well by Dirac.
But since I want to keep the subwoofer in the setup, the bass is simply better with a subwoofer, I'm wondering whether the R7 Meta still makes sense or whether smaller speakers would also work.
I might try a second subwoofer and position it diagonally opposite in the other corner of the room.
Perhaps the crossover frequency could then be a little higher.
I'm thinking of switching to the KEF LS50 Meta, as they should be crossed over to a subwoofer from approx. 100Hz, which would suit perfectly.
The smaller speaker might also improve the frequency response somewhat, but that would have to be tested.
I would be grateful for a few opinions on whether it would make sense to switch from R7 Meta to LS50 Meta with one or two subwoofers.
The room is approx. 26 square meters in size (approx. 6 x 4 meters), the speakers are on the long side of the room, the sofa on the opposite side behind the windows.
The speakers are about 2.50 meters apart and I am sitting about 3.40 meters away.
I usually listen at room volume, but occasionally a little louder. In general, however, I would assume that there are no peaks higher than 85dB when listening at higher volumes.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
