KEF R3s or Dynaudio special 40?

Nope.... they sound nothing alike Kenjit. Anyone who's ever heard them would say the same thing. I prefer the Dynaudio. Great little speakers! 

The Kefs are a little metallic sounding IMO but otherwise very capable. The Dyns are smooth and sound very good on almost everything but need to bring an amp with balls or some higher powered tubes to the party. 

Do you have the chance to listen to either?  I'm a KEF dealer and think the R3s are really a pretty nice speaker at the price point.  But I've also traded for 2 pairs of Special 40s over the last year and was really impressed with them as well. 

I personally don't find the R3s metallic sounding as mentioned above.....  But I would certainly be quite happy with either speaker.

With the Yamaha gear, I would imagine either would be nice.

Isn’t saying dumb things and trolling audiophiles a G-d given right?

Why be offended when someone says something dumb? Happens all the time.

Personal attacks that hurt people are different. Valid reason.  Saying stupid things about speaker makers probably does not count.


Ooops....

I'm not 100 percent sure what you mean Kenjit!  Both of these speakers do fine bass and the amp I have is more than enough to reach lo, low bass on these, you do sound like a person that would believe that Devialet Phantoms are the best speakers in the world. Also, I haven't bought any of them yet and cannot go trial them as I am in a country where I have to ship these speakers from abroad and there is a bit of a pandemic going around! In all fairness, you sir, are not ready to be an audiophile! If you really don't care then you should definitely not be an Audiogon member!
