Kef R3's split a pair for centers Netherlands

[CrustyToad]

Fellow ASR members, I am interested to have 3 Kef R3's for Left Right and Center but most dealers in the Netherlands sell them in pairs.

I thought if someone here is interested we could split a pair. Interested in the black ones and have found some deals with 500 euro per piece.

Any takers?

[diddley]

500per piece is a great price

This is a good strategy, IMO. Hope you find a taker.

If it helps, for the center speaker In my last system I ended up buying a pair of speakers and just kept one in storage. That was still about the same price as buying the matching center channel in the series, and I got a spare speaker.

Yes it is a great price indeed
Even better if I manage to find someone to spit one pair

I am considering also to maybe buy two pairs and keep one spare. But I thought I give it a try here

Looks like I was too late for that one..

 

[CrustyToad]

Any takers on this deal? Still looking for someone to split a pair

 

[CrustyToad]

Looks like I am stuck
Pity that stores don't give the options to get a single one

Still no takers for one?

One question: in order to get proper central sound integration do we have to position it vertically? or doesn't matter.

 

[CrustyToad]

Due to the coaxial driver of the midrange the frequency response is practically identical between vertical and horizontal positioning

This place has great prices!

 

[solderdude]

Why not these as center speaker ?

 

[CrustyToad]

Ideally the LCR should be identical. I don't think the Q series driver is of the same quality as the R series one. Also the issue that speakers are only sold in pairs remains...

The R2C is a coaxial 3-way, it performs well. Granted, it's a little more expensive, but it would be easy.

@CrustyToad i remember directing a member in a similar situation (can't remember now if it was the r3 or the ls50 meta) to an online shop in Germany and the guy reported back that they indeed sent him 1 unit in a box cut through the middle!!
I cannot find the post now but if you search around you might find it. I remember as well that the price was very good too. Good luck!

 

[CrustyToad]

It is an option, though it is larger and more expensive compared to a single R3

I do remember that and I think I checked the store out. Thanks for the tip @MarcosCh!
Since then they have amended the site and only sell sets of 2.

So I am still looking for someone
