Always be bold. Talk to the seller, say you have 750€, maybe he'll bite.I would like to stay under 800€, so the R3 for 850€ would be a bit above the budget but I would spent it, if it’s worth it.
I tested them against the Linton 85 and the Lintons won in my room. But they look terrible, like a beer crate from the 1920ies. The R3 in black look far better, but the R3 in white look seriously stunning. Less of a finger print magnet too.I’m not set on the R3, so I would also take some recommendations for other speakers from you.
