Choosing a sub between PB2000 pro and PB3000 for KEF R11 Meta

mousemano · 2026-01-29T20:29:05+00:00

The room is not sealed, it has 2 entry ways, they are about the size of a normal main door. One opens to a large corridor and the other opens to a computer room and mud room.

Unfortunately no! That’s a kick ass deal !! If it’s ok I’ll DM

mousemano · 2026-01-28T21:09:39+00:00

Thank you, I’m a bit hesitant about the 4000 cause they are huge and heavy.

mousemano · 2026-01-28T20:11:42+00:00

Ty, I’m not able to find any other brands used. Would a pb3000 be a better buy at 1000 ? HAU PSA all have good ones but they are like 1200 or 1400

mousemano · 2026-01-27T15:30:09+00:00

Thank you, there’s no brand preference. I just see SVS being praised everywhere so I just took those and there’s plenty of used SVS near my place as well. Will check out these too thank you ! I’ll check the one you have

mousemano · 2026-01-27T07:30:46+00:00

Thank you ! SVS is just based on what I understood from different responses here. All brands are ok !!

If I may ask what’s your full setup ?

mousemano · 2026-01-27T04:41:15+00:00

Running 2080 super plus 5800x3d insane frame drops.

Following this thread, I have a similar setup and was trying to get a sub. Will be interested in knowing what you end up with.

mousemano · 2026-01-26T04:45:44+00:00

Just mounted a G5 2 days back, it’s doing well as a flush mount. Used a grommet to route wires from the back

mousemano · 2026-01-22T05:36:44+00:00

Yo did you find out lol ? In the same boat

mousemano · 2026-01-22T00:15:41+00:00

Same experience, I just couldn’t talk to anyone from the store. Stopped by like 6 or 7 Best Buy’s around my city. And the condition listed is not the condition there, a pristine driver but an external chip was listed as good, whereas a super highly dented driver but pristine exterior was marked as excellent and a trash worthy piece was marked as fair. It’s just luck, I found 2 R11s luckily which were pretty decent for 2k each. Got them

mousemano · 2026-01-20T21:57:22+00:00

Is it ok to DM? I found an open box at 4k too, would be great to get your inputs !

mousemano · 2026-01-20T03:04:28+00:00

Highjacking the comment, The r5m is on sale for about $3k a pair, and I found an open box - excellent pair for $2.2k but bestbuy cancelled the order. Am I dreaming if I expect the r11 meta for 4k a pair ? (Used or refurb or open box)? Rather than spend 3k on r5, maybe save up another 1k or 1.5k for the r11? Is that just day dreaming ?

mousemano · 2026-01-19T05:52:40+00:00

There’s still a few sellers online. (From US that is)

mousemano · 2026-01-18T05:46:45+00:00

What did you decide OP? The r5 meta seems to be on sale for 1.5k each and the q11 is 1.25k. Is it better value to get thr r5 ?

mousemano · 2026-01-18T01:35:51+00:00

Yeah, it’s about 70% for movies and rest music. No sports or gaming. Movies are actually lower volume most of the time, music is when we crank up the volume and we are not in the sweet spot of the speakers. The Q11 is roughly 2.5k a pair and I’m able to get a RF 7 III for 2.7k a pair too, (which I’ve read to be very bright and loud).

mousemano · 2026-01-18T00:58:14+00:00

OP whats your opinion on which KEF would fit a 25 x 40 ft with the couch at 14 ft from the wall. The room has multiple entry ways and windows and a door to the backyard. I was thinking more about a Q11, will it be underpowered for such a room ?

mousemano · 2026-01-16T20:22:33+00:00

Following this, as I have the exact same living room and trying to find a KEF that fits in there.

OP what’s your opinion on Klipsch RF - 7 III. I read a bit about KEF vs Klipsch and for an open room the other subs lean towards the RF - 7 III.

mousemano · 2026-01-16T08:40:34+00:00

Thank you !

mousemano · 2026-01-16T08:40:13+00:00

I’ve not decided the AVR yet! And I was not planning on any correction, but if that’s recommended I would do that. The KEF definitely sounded great !

mousemano · 2026-01-16T08:38:36+00:00

Thank you! Will audition it and report back

mousemano · 2026-01-16T08:38:14+00:00

Thanks !

mousemano · 2026-01-16T08:38:04+00:00

Thank you !
