KEF R3 Standmound Speakers (Pair Review

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…

I first listened to them in SPL by chance, I came to listen to REL T9i with KEF LS50 Wireless. As a result, I hung on them and listened to R3 for 2 hours, at the same time compared them with the LS50. Data columns bought at a discount and even without a discount, they are worth every penny invested. A bunch of Hegel H190, sang together so that the feeling that they are made for each other. Even in a small room at a distance of 30 cm from the wall, the bass is clear and there is no buzz, at a…

Everything is fine. I thought arcam sa 20 would not sing, but no, it plays great. Much more interesting than my Q 500 from KEF. The main thing is that such a bunch in my ears. I am satisfied.

I consider a room with an area of ​​​​16-20m2 to be optimal for them. Well, if 20, then you can add a sub or 2. I myself listen in a smaller area at a volume level of 70-76 dB with peaks of 80 dB. But space is limited. At In general, it is very difficult for them to find a competitor. I placed them 40 cm from the wall. ADDED! There is nothing to talk about without measurements. Of the competitors, I would look at active speakers or other placement options. The same LS50 Meta with subs. Or…

Listening with Marantz nr1200. Room 12 squares. Distance from AC 2.5 meters. With high frequencies, you have a clear problem. They are few and muffled. You have to add HF on the receiver. On the contrary, there is a lot of bass. Have to subtract. Be sure to compare with other speakers before buying. Otherwise, you may be disappointed. The sound is not for everyone.

I took it without listening, I listened to dynaudio audience62 floorstanders before them, which I wanted to take to the country. There is a lot of bass in a room of 16 sq. M, high frequencies are muffled. More or less acceptable sounding was achieved by adding high frequencies on the amplifier and plugging the phase inverter. I listened to my dynaudio in direct mode, I did not experience a lack of high frequencies, and there are not so many low frequencies, despite the fact that these are…

Purchased KEF R3 to replace Dali Opticon 2, Yamaxa RN-602 amplifier. After connecting the R3, as I already read a review about the KEF Q350 - "as if a blanket was thrown over the acoustics" - there are no high ones. Constantly twisted treble tone block to the maximum and a feeling of regret for the money spent. The first step - replacing the RF cable with a silver-plated copper cable - did not help much. The next step was to replace the amplifier with a Primare I15 Prisma, it got better in…
