I'll have to stop in and listen to them!
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.
A good subwoofer for those is the Rel T/7x.
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
Would you put stand filler in these KEF stands?
The KEF stands can be filled with fillers, but they are pretty heavy duty already. I can't think of a reason to ever fill it.
@@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
