Supplementing KEF Ref 3 METAs

My room is treated 14'x20' -- I have KEF R3, high passed at 80Hz. Below 80Hz I have a KEF KC62 AND a KEF KC92, filling out the bass. I love my KC62 microsub and it is a really impressive little thing that goes down to 11Hz, but if you want power and full room coverage you'll need some more power. That's why (after living with a single KC62 for a while) I added the KC92, which is equally impressive and although it doesn't necessarily go deeper, it does go louder. KC92 is obviously a bigger box than KC62 but still visually appealing, and not excessively large. If you only play at low volume, intend to play the R3's at full range, 1x KC62 may just be enough to fill in the low-end. But if you pay loud, and/or watch movies, I'd recommend 2x KC62's, or even 2x KC92's. Also the suggestion above to get 2x KUBE 10/12 MIE's is an interesting route to explore. Good luck, and I hope you don't have fussy neighbors!!! :-)

Good thread---I have the R3 Metas with a Bel Canto Pre5 and REF501s amp. I'm looking into the SVS 3000 Micro/Revolution (their newest micro amp). I listen at low to moderate levels and my room is about the same size. From what I've researched, micro subs are better for low volume listening. However, the Kube 10 or the KC62 might be a good option as well. Keeping my options open too. Good luck and keep us posted.

When I had the Refrence 5’s I got a SVS SB2000 Pro.  With the Refrence 3’s having less woofers, I’d suggest getting two. 😁

+1 for the Rhythmik servo subs.   I have 2 E15HP2 and they are deep, quick, textured, and integrate really well with good resolving fast speakers, like the Kef Metas.

My Reference 3 Metas are in an open floor plan family room with a sloped ceiling to the 2nd floor (32x17).  I had an SVS SB3000 that was ok but was looking for better integration and I also wanted to smooth out the response.  Looked at the KC92s but the side firing would not work in my layout.  Was about to pull the trigger on RELs and PS Audio released their F12s which included a PEQ.  I use their PEQ to knock down a 50 hz room mode.  I connect them to each of the KEF's terminals and get seamless integration compared to the single SVS.  I'm very happy I added 2 and upgraded to a more musical sub.  Warning, I did lose the LFE punch from the SVS but I was optimizing for 2-channel.  The KEF's tight sound dominates with the F12s just filling out the low end.
