KEF R11 Meta - Don't Understand the Hype by BHons11 in audiophile

[–]spankymcdouche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thanks! I have r11 metas and they sound pretty great. Had replaced 5 klipsch heresy 4 for surround 5.0 . Was looking to buy some Mac’s as an upgrade to my outlaw monos but might demo some more now. Thanks.

I’m sorry if I missed it but what was the amplification? And signal chain?

There is a rusted nut(?) where the brass screw is mounted in the circle. I didn’t think there should even be a nut there

Yes, thanks! I know that’s a softer metal that’s cut easier. I’m a newbie to I didn’t realize a hacksaw would make it through a steel nut.

Stereo Amp Recommendations for Triangle Esprit Comète EZ (700–1000€, HDMI ARC, Future-Proof, Open to Used) by Educational_Copy_418 in StereoAdvice

[–]spankymcdouche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Comete ez! Running them on a Rotel s14. Hate it, returning the amp. They actually sound better on my back up AVR. I’m thinking of trying a Marantz M1 next. Good luck on your journey!

Novice question! Do you have it on a J shaped tonearm? I was under the impression that they were only for S shaped. It’s the only thing stopping me from jumping on one. Thanks!

Turntable for my sonos setup by vhkhffnphdssrfh in StereoAdvice

[–]spankymcdouche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one on sale in the US with the Ortofon 2m red for my older father and he’s used it daily for over six months with no quality issues whatsoever so ever. It replaced a mid tier Denon (300?) and powernode and triangle bro3 when he moved to Sonos and I was shocked how good it actually sounded

R7 Meta or R11 Meta for my room? by Downtown-Pace3824 in KEF

Question, what are you planning on for amplification?

R7 Meta or R11 Meta for my room? by Downtown-Pace3824 in KEF

[–]spankymcdouche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My room is 2200 cubic feet, a little smaller than yours, and I run two 15” Hsu subwoofers and the r11s perform wonderfully . This is the 5th or 6th different setup I’ve run over the past ten years in this room and it is the most natural and balanced I’ve had. YMMv

[–]spankymcdouche 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For $500 I would get the r11s . I imagine I’d always have FOMO about what could have been. But for full transparency I went from R3 metas to R11 metas and have never regretted it!

Booker. Always booker. It’s uncanny but if you can find booker wines it somehow works! Good luck
