KEF R3 Meta
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I ended up with R3 meta for a couple reasons: ... they look just a bit nicer, although I wish they made a center in blue!
- am now the proud owner of the KEF R3 Meta and R6 Meta. ... It only took 10 minutes until she said “damn, these DO sound better!”
- I owned R3 Meta for a while and really enjoyed them.
- KEF R3 Meta is good, slightly fixes the issue of previous KEF models being very narrow in dispersion.
- Long story short I have been saving and waiting for a good time to buy a pair of KEF R3 META's or a pair of SVS Evolution bookshelf speakers for just under a year.
Cons
- If we look at the R3 Meta (2300€) for example are there compression/distortion issues at "just" >96dB **at 1m** distance
- The first battle was ascend acoustics lx vs kef r3 meta. The lxs won.
- KEF R3 Meta L/R
- R3 Meta is overkill for the rears though.
- I initially thought about R3 meta with R6 meta center but the manual specifies 9” minimum for distance to back wall on R3 meta, which I simply don’t have.

R3 Metas for surrounds? Isn't that overkill and a huge waste of money? That's $2500 for two surround speakers.
