Hi @andy2 , where are you located? I know a good KEF dealer here in Maryland...
A higher end audio store will likely meet a BB price...
Narrowed down to the Kef R11 meta, but the bass?
After a few weeks of searching, I think I've narrowed it down to the Kef R11 meta.
But there is one open issue: the bass. I listened to them at the Best Buy store which has questionable setup. The cables are some cheapy stuffs and the length probably too long so it might affect the speakers dynamic and the bass. The play list they have is fairly limited so I couldn't quite able to assess the speakers capability especially the BASS.
So my question for R11 owners, what do you think of the bass? Is it a bit lackking?

Although you first heard the speakers under not optimal conditions at Best Buy, the Kef R11 Meta are incredible sounding speakers just the same. As far as their low bass extension is concerned, just take a look at their specifications (30 Hz - 50 kHz). 30 Hz is pretty extended bass, and should be a sufficient amount of bass for most applications. Of course, you could always opt to augment the bass of any speaker with a sub or two, even true full-range speakers, as many audiophiles do. It’s simply a matter of just how much low base you desire. Only after the Kefs are set-up in your listening room will you know definitively whether you will need to add a sub or two in order to fulfill your needs. I also heard the Kef R11 Meta speakers at my local Best Buy. I heard the Kefs without subs and thought the bass was incredible, and was more than adequate. If I owned the Kef R11 Meta speakers, in my room, I’m sure I would not be using subs with them. I love the Kef R11 Meta speakers. I’d grab the Kefs in a heartbeat. Happy listening. |
