Q3 Meta

Plus 1 for KEF. Was facing a similar situation and got a pair of KEF Q3 meta’s and RSL speedwoofer 10e powered by a Denon 760 off the TV. We have an open floor plan where the kitchen, dining room, and living room all flow together and we listen to music while cooking and eating and it sounds really

Both models are very similar but unless the price difference is large go with the Q3 Meta because it is the newer model and has a bit more refined sound, particularly in the upper frequencies. Generally speaking, putting ANY speaker in a bookcase is a bad idea. That said KEFs seem to do better than

I think the primary benefit you would appreciate with that switch would be the improvement in volume within a relatively large space. the LSX II are a great-sounding speaker for near field, but you are probably pushing them hard in a room that size. the flipside is that I think the LSX II has somewh

Look at the estimated in-room response of your Q3 Metas (courtesy of EAC). You will see them roll off smoothly from ~100 to 60Hz, with a shelf from ~60 to 45Hz, then a knee, and a steep drop-off below that.

You're welcome! I suggest you watch these YouTube reviews and choose by yourself:KEF Q150 Erin review andKEF Q3 Meta Erin review. Also, forgot to mention KEF bookshelf speakers typically work best with a high pass filter applied at around 80hz, hence my WiiM Amp Ultra + RSL subwoofer suggestions. Ho

(Maybe later see what stepping up to DX5 etc. would do.) Basically the easiest solution for desktop listening would be to go with active studio monitors.

Hey, I've been doing more research, as I don't have the possibility of doing in place testing, sending back gear as I live outside North America. I also used some AI to help me research. Through that, I came across the Kef Q3 Meta, which I can get for basically the same price as the Beta 5 at my hom

Hey Folks, “The Husband” here. Very happy to have just received a pair of the KEF Q3 Meta’s and a Wiim Amp Pro. Perfect for our living room setup and blows our Polk soundbar+sub out of the water. Thank you all for helping my wife with recommendations. You can consider this thread closed :)

I dont think that you can compare a $2.2k bookshelf speaker (500SP) with a floorstander that costs $1.4k of the same brand, the Fyne Audio F501S should be the same lvl as the 500SP but a floorstander, it almost have the same price at $2.3k. I've been eyeing the Fyne Audio F501E myself but the local

Så ville en tredje KEF Q3 Meta være det åbenlyse svar. Den er fin som centerhøjtaller. Det kommer til at være glimrende lyd. De har ikke tonsvis af bass. Men når man har med naboer at gøre er der sikkert rigeligt, i forhold til hvad man kan slippe afsted med
