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

I’ll premise this by saying I don’t know shit about turntables. But I do know the biggest piece of your budget should be speakers. Maybe like 30-50% of it. Here are a couple ideas: $1000 is very doable. Kef Q3 Meta $499 at Best Buy WiiM Amp $299 Amazon $200 for a turntable with a phono built in. I’m

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

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. This kind of bass tuning allows the speakers to be placed closer to the wall, where the bound

Indeed...there seems to be some dip in the 700Hz to 1kHz region in the Q3 Meta for the on-axis response too. I guess the Q3 might sound a bit more darker than Q1 in that range. Some people might like it. Some people might not. https://www.spinorama.org/compare.html?speaker0=KEF+Q1+Meta&origin0=Vendo

I have an all kef system ..if you can swing it replace your front stage with R metas ..as that matters the most..my system R11 meta/r6 meta front stage ..connected to a buckeye 3 channel purifi amp Front wides are q3 meta Surrounds and rears are q4 meta Front/rear heights are q8 meta 2x Kef kube 15s

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

First, crossing the speakers over to your subwoofer at 80Hz is absolutely essential. If you don't, then whatever numbers I say after this are not going to be relevant. When you run these speakers full range, and really try to push the deep bass, you will hit the excursion limits of the Uni-Q's midwo

Your KEF Q350s are not really 8-ohm speakers (they dip to 3.7 ohms across a range of frequencies). The Q3 Metas are properly rated at 4 ohms, but they dip to 3.2 ohms. Your Q650 is the only speaker that stays above 4 ohms (4.2). Neither of those amps is going to like driving five channels of low-imp
