Upgraded from R3 Metas to MoFis, from Bluesound to Eversolo
Setup is Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen2 --> MiniDSP Flex --> Yamaha A-S3200 --> MoFi Sourcepoint 10 ME's + Hsu TN-1 Got the MoFi's earlier this year, replacing my KEF R3 Metas which were moved into the theater room where they will be on full-time movie/games duty from here on. What can I say about the MoFi's

LS50 With Wiim Ultra or LS50 Wireless II
I bought a pair of KEF LS60s then a few months later a pair of R3 Metas with a WiiM. I wanted to understand the difference and education is expensive. This year I bought a Buckeye amp with a Bluesound Node ICON for the same reason - is the WiiM under powered? Is the DAC in the Bluesound better? Does

Upgrading Advice Needed. Kef R3 Meta vs LS50WII vs LS60
R3 Meta + Node Icon + Hypex + REL Subwoofer This will give you the best flexibility and longevity. You can add a separate DAC and/or a preamp if you want to flavour your sound even further in the future. KEF actives don't have the best reputation, and with separates, not only does it allow you maxim

Amp / AVR recommendation for KEF R3 Meta (music, TV + movies now, maybe R2 Meta center later)
I have the Kef R11 meta and Kef r6 meta as my LCR and then 4 R3 meta’s as my rear and surrounds. I have the anthem MRX 1140 powering everything including the 4 atmos speakers. I am using an external amp Buckeye 3 channel to power my LCR and it’s amazing. Sounds wonderful.

KEF R11 Meta - Don't Understand the Hype
For whatever reason, the only KEFs I like are my R3 Metas. I demoed the R11s as well as the Reference line, but they all felt muddy to me. The R3s are very crisp and work great in a home theater system with an R2 and some subs. Sound is so personal. My favorite speakers are my Thiel 7.2s, though I a

Q350 - streamer amp
I also have a dmp-a6 and the matching eversolo amp. It’s certainly nice to have separates in terms of upgrade path. The play is smaller and more convenient, but only upgrade path is complete replacement. Very happy with both the play and the a6. The a6 and separate amp do sound a tiny bit better wit

Kef R3 vs Q7 Meta
R3 is more linear/flat but tends brighter in the top end. The Q7 Meta goes about 30hz lower and rolls off very smoothly. The Q7 Meta is also much more similar in sound to your Q6 Meta so I'd see that as a big plus. My preference would be the Q7s for home theater and blending with your center. They'd

Has Anyone Paired a KEF T301C with Much Better KEF Models?
Im using the T301C with R3 metas and it's great for me. I'm also using other KEF speakers in the setup. Q350s for the side and rear surounds and two pairs of CI160ER in the ceiling for ATMOS. I know it's a bit of a hodgepodge but they all sound fairly matched when watching movies. Otherwise i'm norm

Floor Standing Speaker Selection for "Extreme" Music Genres
As a fellow metal lover, and someone that also listens to so much stuff across the musical spectrum, you’re definitely going to want a sub with both floorstanders or bookshelves. I even run subs with my expensive floorstanders. While they’re adequate on their own, it’s just really really tough to do
