Narrowed down to the Kef R11 meta, but the bass?

There are very few speakers that don't really benefit from have a sub or two to support them.  Also, your room will determine how much effective bass is there since you should get some room effect that adds a couple of Hz lower extension.

The R11 Meta are good speakers and should be fine for most music but I would want a sub or two for movies and music with a lot of bass.

I have had the R11 non-meta for about 2.5 years. I did pair them with a Rythmik F12SE, but they have great extension and sound on their own. Perhaps the best bang for the buck out there. 

The only reason I am selling them is a pair of KEF Reference 3’s were available for local pickup at a price I could not resist. It’s actually amazing how similar in sound the R11’s and Ref 3’s are, with a $9K difference in retail. 

Go for the R11’s, you won’t be disappointed!

Don’t know if this is appropriate, but want to buy a new DAC & wife won’t give permission until I sell the R11’s. So if anyone is interested in a one owner, perfect condition, all original boxes & accessories, gloss back R11’s, please IM me. They are beasts, so local pickup (Cary, NC) is ideal, but will ship. 

I want the new DAC, so very motivated. 

Gotta go Reference Meta for bass I’m afraid. 🤑

SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle Towers have incredible bass (4-8 inch woofers per enclosure) and sound natural and clear.  No offense but you could not pay me to listen to own the KEF R11 meta.  Too artificial.
