Hi,
I have a Denon X3800h on order and I was pondering on speakers to pair it with. Candidates at the moment are:
1. KEF LS50 Meta
2. KEF R3 (non meta)
3. KEF R3 Meta
4. KEF R5
5. Wharfedale Linton
Will have 1 or maybe 2 SVS SB 1000 Pro or SB 2000 subwoofer.
See below a rough drawing of the room I will use them in. The height is about 2.75 meters, total size is 50 square meters (30 + 20). Listening distance is between 3 and 3.5 meters, depending on how far from the wall I place the speakers (can't do much better than 0.5 meters on this)
I'm a bit worried about the 4 ohm impedance of the R3 Meta and how well the receiver would be able to drive them and about the totally asymmetrical placement, but can't do much about the second.
1. Will Audyssey EQ be able to do anything about the room?
2. Does the receiver has enough power for the aforementioned speakers, especially R3 Meta?
3. Are the LS50 Meta loud enough to cover listening music at about 80db and for movies (with the help of subwoofers)?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
