Upgraded from R3 Metas to MoFis, from Bluesound to Eversolo
Setup is Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen2 --> MiniDSP Flex --> Yamaha A-S3200 --> MoFi Sourcepoint 10 ME's + Hsu TN-1 Got the MoFi's earlier this year, replacing my KEF R3 Metas which were moved into the theater room where they will be on full-time movie/games duty from here on. What can I say about the MoFi's

Chasing the "childhood" reference sound for 20 years - finally got it when all the hope was lost. Anyone had same phenomena? If so - Let's try to debunk myths and reality.
My mom's bog standard 80s Hitachi amp with 90s paradigm speakers sounds better than my system with KEF R3 Metas. Could be the room it was in.

Audiophiles/Grove and Amp Lovers - Best in home speakers?
KEF R-series is what I have right now. My KEF R3 Metas sound incredible. My dream setup would be the Focal Grande Utopia Em Evo’s. But I would literally need my house to be built around them, they are fucking huge lol

Talk me down from this: KEF R3's vs. BMR Monitor
The kefs are excellent speakers. I think they play well with untreated rooms bc they’re not quite as wide as the bmr. You know you like them, I’d try to listen to r3 meta if you haven’t yet.

What's your streaming platform and why ?
Was using Qobuz but switched to TIDAL because (a) Cheaper and (b) Supports Dolby Atmos (obviously for my Sonos speaker). Also sounds so good through my Hegel H190 powered KEF R3 Metas via Roon.

Speaker Shopping - Day 4
I spent about a year switching off between the KEF R3 Meta and Philharmonic BMR Monitors in my 2.2 setup. There were aspects of both I liked. I ultimately ended up selling the KEFs and keeping the Philharmonics though. Which Philharmonics do you intend to get? The Monitors, Towers, or HT Towers?

GR-Research Old School Bully owners/listeners: what do you think?
While the upgrade kits can be controversial, and I can see the benefit for those that love a specific speaker/design and wanting it to be the best, the GR Research speakers are fantastic. They may not be to everybody's taste or preference, but the models reviewed usually get good reviews. GR designs

New speaker day
Multi-state move + I knew they would be too big to really work in this space. Found a killer deal on the SourcePoint’s + Kanto stands, and I’ve always been intrigued by Andrew Jones designs so figured I’d give these a go. I thought I’d end up with R3 Metas, which I did like best among all the KEF sp

System upgrade
I love my R3 Meta with dual subs integrated with room perfect. Most people would probably say my equipment vastly exceeds my speaker (ie spend 80% of your budget on speakers) but I have yet to see a set I would want to move up to. Kef reference? $10k for a 2% improvement in the low end doesn’t seem
