KEF Demo Disappointment

The Cinema 70 probably isnt the best amp for KEFs tbh - need more power and higher current Beyond that, the ls50 metas I had were very position sensitive.

I understand how wave guides work, but you can see the measurements for yourself. Off axis slopes down in a balanced way, yes, but you’re still getting much more information to your ears by having the tweeters point at your ears.

Schiit Recommendation’s needed..Modi 5 / Magni / Jot 3 / Mimir - fork.

Sound of Kef Reference 1 Meta vs Kev Reference 3 Meta

Thank you, this is exactly the type of response I was looking for. My only concern with the KEF Reference 3 is that they will have inferior soundstage/imaging due to lacking the advantages of a more focused driver array (i.e. more of a point source), a smaller (and presumably less resonant) cabinet,
