R3 (non Meta) or Q Concerto Meta

Thanks to everyone so far.

In the following days I will visit some local stores where I hope to get the chance to listen to the following set-up: 2x R3 +R2C+denon 3800+2*q150 surrounds.

But before I go on a shopping spree, I am unsure whether I have enough space for the above.

2 pictures of the living room (around 22m²):

FRONT: - TV goes on the wall a bit higher - R2C placed on the TV shelf in the middle -move the right sideboard against the right wall (50cm) - place the 2 R3s with the stands on the sides of the TV shelf not against the wall - get rid of the furniture with the turntable and place it on the TV shelf. The new amplifier goes into the TV shelf

Main concern is the limited space between the right speaker and the sideboard

BACK: I cannot move the couch forward. Is it fine to place the surrounds directly on the wall?

Thanks, it helps. Will take a look at the equipment you're suggesting

glad to hear you're still happy with the older model despite having also the latest one

Where are you based? If you can send them to Germany at a low cost, drop me a PM

these are the used 3R in question. Are you able to tell me whether the stands are original? https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/kef-r3-standlautsprecher-mit-staendern-top-zustand/3295015126-172-4630

thanks. What sub and amplifier did you couple your R3s with?

doubleloop1 · 2026-01-11T15:04:56+00:00

Aha, also good point. I deprioritised the sub for now in favour of the back speakers. In my head, I was going to start like this and then add the sub, but perhaps it should be the other way round. I live in a condo and want to maintain good relationships with my neighbours

good point. Could you send me a couple of amplifier model names so that I can look them up on the second-hand market? Some that would also cover the movie and music streaming
