KEF R3 META or KEF R11 NON META?

[Ruben93]

Well... I do see an obstacle. You Denon only EQ at 4 or 8 kHz, so since I would EQ it maybe 1 dB at 6kHz, maybe the R3 Meta would be best, if you do not wish to add too much technical hassle.
Since you use it as home cinema anyway - the R3 Meta with well integrated subwoofers - which I assume you already have - should be plenty.
It's just me who like tower speakers, and I have dedicated stereo with 4 subwoofers and fully digital 10 channel pre-amp.
KEF R3 Meta is a very good speaker and the most neutral of both

I can get the r3 Meta new for 1500 in Germany.
I have the svs sb12 nsd as SUB and i use IT for Home Cinema and stereo Set Up with the normal r3

Also depends on your budget. But both KEF R3 are nice, even though Meta is better, both because of better linearity and different crossover design.
Consider 2 subwoofers... Your amplifier can do it, and it helps with overall smoothness in the response.
