I think fast summed up the KEF range well. The point of it has been point source imaging and soundstage with even off-axis sound, but they certainly have drawbacks. I have heard this line many times. I think fast has to decide if the KEF R3 is worth the expense is absolute terms and not just relative to the others before purchasing or waiting. The Magico A3 (considering the S3mkII, which is beautiful sounding) is not going to do what the Reference 3 can do but will do other things better. This is true of all speakers marketed here.
