| New 2018 KEF R series...? @crn3371 I can't quite speak on the R3's, but I did just purchase a pair of the new R11 series floor standers along with the LS50 Wireless Nocturnes. The new towers sound incredible and look stunning in white. As a previous owner of the R900, I fe... | |
| KEF for Near-field? When I say "near-field", I mean the average person sitting nearby, such as at an executive desk. At my desk there's a good 5' separation with the 32" monitor and probably 4' to my chair. That's at least how I placed them, angled in with the app se... | |
| KEF for Near-field? @schubert That idea is what led me to the Uni-Q driver idea. I have to say the LS50 Wireless sounds great, and again, am just really loving the Nocturne look. I know so many people hate it for its Sci-Fi vibe, but it really is unique.I went a bit ... | |
| KEF for Near-field? Hi Dave/Troy,I'm a bit confused by your statement. Are you saying the R11's are significantly better than the R900's in every way, yet not contest against such speakers as the Reference 5?That would make sense, I wouldn't expect a $20K speaker to ... | |
| KEF for Near-field? @audiotroy Well over the holidays I had purchased the LS50 Wireless Nocturne, no complaints. The app has an 'increased bass' function, and naturally any more I'd just get a KEF Kube.If you're a KEF dealer, how about pricing on models such as used ... | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? @mapman I have about the same sized office. I just put in the LS50 Wireless on Iso Aperta stands today and sounds quite excellent. If they need to break-in, that's even more encouraging. I had bought the Nocturne edition and am very glad, it's act... | |
| KEF for Near-field? Has anybody compared the x300a to the LS50 Wireless? Obviously free beats buying the $2300, but I do like the Nocturne's. Obviously taste varies for everyone, but it has a unique artistic look. | |
| KEF for Near-field? @yyzsantabarbara Thank you! The x300a is surprisingly great for the price and ease of use. The LSX is a bit small, and doesn't have a USB connection for my desktop.You didn't mention the R3/300. My top choice ATM is the R300 since it's 1200 NIB, l... | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? I'm looking for a great near-field solution for a desk. Options: I do already own a Peachtree Sky & Audioquest Bi-Wire Cables.KEF R300: $1,200R3: $2,000LS50 Wireless: $2,000 | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? Has anyone compared the R11's to a speaker such as the REF 3? I can find used pairs for 8, and the R11's are about half that but have that R5 look. I'm not sure if the extra bass makes up for the benefits of the reference line. I'm sure the Ref 5 ... | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? They are on isolating bumpers. They are gorgeous speakers in Piano Ebony which is a Mocha/Black mixture.I just thought perhaps something exotic may make a huge difference, such as B&W 805 D3. Since this forum is KEF, is the R3's are like Refer... | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? So what do you all think is suitable for a home office desk? I currently have Monitor Audio 100's. Love the sound and curvaceousness, bass. My desk is big, so they're about 3' from me toed in.I was thinking LS50W, R300, or R3. I also was tempted w... |
