The kef r7s have the same or better impressive low distortion as R3, right?
i got the R7's, they deliver much more SPL and much more deep than my R300's, i cannot found too many reviews but the towers seems to be more than i expected, the bass can go very deep and clean
Also the sound have way more weight, these towers r7s sounds more fun to listen to, the dynamics between 120~400hz~ improved tooDefinitely, I didn't see your question about the R3 but the entire R series is crossed over at 400hz so the main difference is the bass extension and output. The R7 will be better than the R3 in the distortion department due to having 2 woofers.
Even
Even though they don’t show crosscut of the entire family, I think the whole R line 2018 has the UniQ on a separate chamber and not just an R11 exclusive feature. But then again, I would ask Kef support for a confirmation on this.
Kef was very kind to listen to your request. Just kidding, understand your user name is brokenenglishguy

You said “you asked for it” when you meant that “you asked about it”
Oh xD I seeYou said “you asked for it” when you meant that “you asked about it”
xD i corrected the postYeah, it sounded like KEF granted your special request to build a pair of R7's with a closed chamber for the Uni-Q driver. But we knew what you meant.
Aww now you killed my jokexD i corrected the post
Thanks for the correction xD
There is more R7 owner's?
This is my first floorstanding speaker and the last, at least for 5 years lol. I don't know how my speaker compare to the others in sound quality... but i like the 3 way coaxial idea hehehe
nope because it's in a quote in your post xDAww now you killed my joke
i dont like the idea to audition the speakers in another room, i think that audition gonna be a little bit worthless unless in the shop have a proper acoustic treatment in each room for the speakers and measure them, doesn't gonna give a idea of '' how it sounds like ''Listen and audition and compare and Measure with REW at Home
I heard Dynaudio C1? Anniversary in a private home , small room,and think they sounded fantastic,I heard Kef R7 and R11 in a very high end shop and they sounded flat and boring, not enjoyable. I got Revel F36 myself , the Dynaudio sounded better than my setup based on memory. Not in the same room, but one day I will compare at home. My ears are 60years and I acannot evaluate the range above 10khs accurately
im curious about the bass performance of R5 VS R3I've got R5's on the way as I need to replace my R3's with something more stable (non-stand mount). Hope to get some measurements done when they arrive. What's interesting about the 175mm wide R5's is KEF's published measurements seem to suggest an even narrower beam-width than the 200mm baffle width'd R3, R7 and R11. Be interesting to see.
I prefer narrower projecting speakers due to listening to more modern electronic, studio/computer based music. Which is why I loved the R3's. They sort of remove the room. I do much prefer other wider sounding speakers with older music however, but I dont listen to much of that anyway.
Digging up an old post... how was your experience going to the 5's?I've got R5's on the way as I need to replace my R3's with something more stable (non-stand mount).
