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

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

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

Q3 meta’s and wiim all the way. I love KEF, I’ve had 6 pairs over the last few years… I can only sing their praises across the board. I just see so many people talking about issues with active speakers and subs. Just from a reliability stance I reckon you steer clear of the LSX’s. The Q3’s have a bi

OP - you can the COMPARE function at spinorama.org to put all of these speakers head to head in terms of measured performance and predicted in room response. if you do - you will see a slight improvement in linearity stepping from the Q3 to Concerto, and a significant improvement in bass extension b

Not sure about discontinued, but i've seen a shift away from selling them via audiophile channels to mass sales via costco. whereas the LSX II are still selling at high cost audio-oriented sites, at 3x the price of the 'LT' version. I agree with you that the Coda have larger drivers, a larger cabine

I was torn between these and the KEF Q3 Metas. Spent quite a bit of time listening to both at the store, and in the end, I went with these — I guess my ears lean more toward the 'brighter' side of the spectrum.Tried them with the foam bungs, but honestly, I prefer how they sound without them. Still

We do not generally recommend Klipsch speakers. R and RP ranges are cheaply made in China and they have elevated treble response. I.e. most people would find them tiring in longer listening sessions. Also that previous range of RP speakers had design and/or manufacturing tolerance issues in their cr

You're right. My bad, not the R3 meta but the Q3 Meta I checked. So my experience with the KEF sounding muffled is with the Q3 Meta, not sure how much the KEF R3 difference to the Q3. My main point of criticism to the Q3 was the absence of any good lows, so the songs missed any punch. Guess that R3

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
