KEF R3 META Stand Mounts have been with us now for almost a year. This video is our take on this amazing speaker. Please watch, share your experiences and subscribe.
Having purchased the R3 Meta from Olson's a couple months ago, I can tell you that the R3 Meta is a phenomenal speaker. I paired it with the Yamaha R-N2000A and it seems to work well. I guess the best way to describe the sound is "neutral". It's not overtly bright like the KEF's of old, but not exactly warm (say like a Klipsch Heresy IV or a Wharfdale Linton). It certainly sounds better than the LS50 (I guess being a three-way helps). What it is lacking is low end. The speaker is capable of really clean sound until it hits its limit at 58hz and just rolls off abruptly. That may be OK with most classical music (except for anything with a pipe organ), but it will not be enough for bass heads. A subwoofer is definitely recommended. That being said, I bought these so that I don't bother my neighbors with booming bass so I can listen to classical music fairly loud without setting of the complex manager. Overall, I do recommend it.
Can you preview the Reference 1 with oem stands as well. Plus the address the optional 2 provided ports that alter the bottom end frequency? Amplification with these as well? I’m sure I’m not the only one interested in the new Meta Ref 1. Thank you
@@sakio327I have concerns on how stable they would be with heavy R3 metas on top of these stands? And thought if filler was used it would make the stands less prone to being tipped over
@@hclandscapes these stands are already heavy so we have not opted to fill these stands at the store. I did fill the ones I have at home that don’t move around as much
