Supplementing KEF Ref 3 METAs

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.

I bought a pair of KEF JC 92s today after receiving a response from KEF that recommended them for supplementing the Ref 3 METAs.  I'm using an Ayre AX-5 Twenty integrated amp that has no provisions for subs, so we plan to use speaker-level connection.
