I recently bought a pair of KEF R3's as my first bookshelf speakers, and I dont really feel comfortable with them.
Particularly electronic music at lower volumes (~60 db) sounds way too snappy to me and at these volumes the speaker isn't really able to generate a big soundstage. Correcting the loudness via EQ only helped a bit and I consider returning them for a set of speakers the excels at lower volumes and has a warmer signature better suited for electronic music. I'm having my eyes on the Focal Aria 906s, and would appreciate a few other suggestions.
