Yamaha A-S1200 + KEF R3 Meta + KEF KC62 — Good Match?


I just bought a Yamaha A-S1200 to drive my KEF R3 Meta and KEF KC62 in a dedicated 2-channel music setup. Is this a good match?

I’m looking for feedback from owners who have heard this combination. What should I expect in terms of sound quality, synergy, and overall performance?

Your input is appreciated!

A Fosi V3 would suffice and save you a lot of money, though lacking the bragging rights of the A - S1200.

@jasonbourne71, I had to send one of my PS Audio amps in for repair. I didn’t have another amp to use in the interim so I bought a pair of V3s from Amazon. I am not disappointed. I fully expected them to be disappointing but I can’t find anything to complain about. They are performing well with my Maggie’s. I initially thought that I would return them to Amazon once my PS Audio amp came back but I’m going to keep Fosi amps on hand.

I’ve never owned a Yamaha product before but I’ve always been Yamaha curious.

Given the limited knowledge of your room and setup, I don’t believe you will be disappointed with the R3 metas. I own 13 different pairs of bookshelf and 8 amps.(sorry no Yamaha). My experience is the R3 is neutral to a slightly warm. Right now I’m listening to them with an  Electrocompaniet Intergrated. This combo is magic to my ears. Give the R3 a little playing time before they sound their best.
