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

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

It is not good for music or TV. Get proper speakers and it will blow any "all-in-one soundbar" out of the water. For $1800 you can get KEF Q3 Meta and Denon DRA-900H and add a subwoofer later

Since I assume you will also be using your TV as a source, consider the Bluesound Powernode N331. It has HDMI eARC the unique capability of driving two or three channels, giving you the option of adding a center channel speaker, with enough power to drive any KEF speakers that would fit your built-i

Your KEF Q3 Metas drop as low as 3.2 ohms across a range of frequencies, and really need to be protected by a high-pass filter, while augmenting them with a subwoofer. Neither the Yamaha A-S501 nor the A-S701 has a high-pass filter or any form of bass management. They are also 12 years old on their

I personally think your money would be better spent on a subwoofer, and just don’t turn it up loud enough to annoy people. But yes, the q3 meta pair should give you more bass across the board If you have the cash however, the Q Concerto Meta pair will be an upgrade in every way including bass

I had a different experience. I use the LSX II LT in my home office desk. The speakers are roughly 4 feet apart, toed in, sitting on Kanto S6 desk stands, so they're angled up. I sit roughly 4 feet from each driver. The desk has the right side against the wall and sits about midway into the room, fa

This Looks very Nice and is exactly what I am looking for. For left and Right speaker I would Choice Q3 Metas that fit my Budget and the Q6 Meta Center as well plus an SVS Sub later. Can anyone recommend me a suitable avr and is a Denon X1800H DAB already fine for driving these specific Kefs or does

The Q3 (meta? You didn’t note that) may be more musically enjoyable than Genelecs, which will be highly resolving and neutral, but it’s really a listener choice. Some think Genelecs are lifeless. I think “accurate” is a fairer judgment. Back to KEF: I’m more familiar with the LS50 family, which supp
