New speaker day

Your impressions of the KEF match mine. Comparing the R3 Meta to the Sourcepoint 8, the SP8 immediately proved to be superior in natural timbre, a richness to the midrange, and a little weight to the mid bass. I preferred it substantially, and the imaging between the two seemed comparable, so the KE

Denafrips Enyo 15th

I have different experience. I had Enyo 15th for a few days connected to Hegel H120 -> KEF R3 Meta and I was dissapointed. It was more smooth and had deeper soundstage but it sacrificed a lot of details and dynamic comparing to Hegel DAC. It was just boring. I do like much more Mojo 2 as a DAC which

Kef R Meta Home Theater

Amp recommendation for kef r3 meta (please read the details) is

What did you not like about the cinema 40 and kef r3 metas? I have the same setup and just bought the r3 metas and I'm finding them a little sharp, almost too accurate. I thought the cinema 40 would tame this but I'm now considering the Parasound A31 however I'm not really convinced the amp will mak

What’s going on here?

Do you have these set with a crossover? I wouldn't be pushing them that hard personally. Edit: People are downvoting but the fact is that the Kef R3 Meta should absolutely be cut off at 60 or 80hz at these sort of volumes. It's not a subwoofer and it's not designed for sub-bass frequencies. If you d
