Klipsch Cornwall vs KEF r3

Ah yes I know the cornwalls get a lot of love, never heard them personally but they are on my list to get in front of one day

I ran my Cornwalls with a 6 watt tube integrated, love it but when hooked up to 650 watt SS monoblocks they really excel.

Wow. Cornwalls in a small room must be wild. Those things can fill small venues. Haha.

I was wrong, we had the Cornwalls, close to this but a little wider. Still gorgeous. And they act as furniture!

The Cornwalls are amazing. A very large and enjoyable sound, even at lower volumes.

Kef's punch way harder and more defined, they don't distort much at unlistenable volume levels. Clear winner for me, no contest in low region here. ... Very detailed, in your face mids overall. ... bright and lively. Zero EQ needed for my taste.

I have „only“ the non Meta R3 but I love these speakers!

I have kef r3 left and right, and svs ultra evo center. The panning is good

I compared these Kef’s to the R3’s and ended up keeping the R5’s because I got a deal on them, but wish I hadn’t. They sounded as identical as two speakers I’ve ever compared.

Equipment: Denon AVR X3800H 2x KEF R3 1 x KEF R2C 2x KEF Q150 2x Paradigm Atoms SE (will be replaced by Q150s at some point) 4x Paradigm H65A v2 (in ceiling) 2x SVS PB2000 Pro Display LG G6 83in Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 PC on the other side of the wall for gaming (RTX 4090, 7800x3d, 64 GB of DDR5 6000mhz cl32 RAM and 2x 2TB NVME drives) Still a bit of work to do, but I like it.
