Review on KEF R3 Standmound Speakers (Pair by Abhey Singh ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

The acoustics are good, there is something to compare the last two before them - Polk audio rti a 7, magnat signature 903. There was a need to change floor-standing speakers to shelf speakers, I chose between KEF R3, klipsh rp600, wharfefale evo, 4.3 magnat signature 903. Polk audio lsim 703, Monitor audio silver 100, chose magnates, they turned out to be very detailed, very light, very detailed and very musical, seemingly perfect acoustics, but! After large-scale and assertive regiments, I lacked an attack! With the tycoons, I began to listen to music again and listen, the details of which I had not heard before were revealed. I even connected them Directly to the rx-a2080 receiver (removed the a-s1100 amplifier) ​​they are so light due to their high sensitivity, but in games and movies they lacked assertiveness, they play Paganini perfectly, but when you turn on the lamb of god, their softness fails them . In general, Polk audio lsim 704 and KEF R3 were left to choose from, the regiments are no longer in stores, they were put on ebay for 100 and given for 80. Good speakers (heard) they are not worth the money. I listened to KEF R3 and then I have emotions ! I bought them for a promotion / promotional code for 115. In general, they have character ! Assertiveness! Sufficiently detailed and detailed, but not bright ! The stage, the scale, the bass is also there ! But I had to connect again to a-s1100. the receiver (albeit a top one) did not cope with them! Didn't open them! They need current, and only then they give out fat! But I think my amplifier is too weak for them, at the audition it was connected to Hegel, they felt good with it. Perhaps in the future I will have a rotel rb1580. There is enough current there. As for the shortcomings, I think the price tag in the region of 90-100k is adequate for these speakers. And I was also very unpleasantly surprised by the nuance, at high Volume the phase inverter gives serious overtones, in the rubberized area, exactly where they should not be, since the rubberized part was conceived as a panacea for overtones. In general, I'm satisfied.

Pros
  • Well, first of all, of course the sound! Appearance too, They are beautiful! My first acoustics in white, just a year ago I would not have believed that I would have white acoustics. Build quality . Like in a comment.
Cons
  • Price! Well 150 is too much for them, 🤷🏻‍♂️. Resonance / overtones at high volume in the phase inverter port. Details in the comment.
