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

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

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

Good choice of amplifier, I also love the JBL SA550's looks! If they aren't too big in size, I can highly recommend these bookshelf speakers: KEF Q Concerto Meta - nice speaker cables included Otherwise, the slightly smaller model in the same Q series would be a nice upgrade too: KEF Q3 Meta in Whit

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
