B&W 705s3 vs Kef Meta R3
BB has a generous return policy so it is usually safe to bring a product home and try it. Sometimes room acoustics will align with a rooms natural peaks and valleys to offer a uniquely pleasant tonal balance. never say never.   
Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
We haven't heard from the OP since 11/5, probably buried in holiday stuff. When people say forward bass with reserved highs my limited experience always makes me think of Dynaudio, I've never even owned a pair, but had a pair of audience 80's for ... 
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey
No tv in my (main) basement listening room, but I replaced the Plasma’s with a Sony A80j 65" oled in 22 and in the family room in 23 the A85 Sony oled. Both sets are google OS and have been problem free. The family room can’t be difficult for frie... 
Kef Blade to Blade meta?
Coming up for air. Am I allowed to plug a local hifi shop? I had an appt to listen to the latest Epikore to land in the USA the day after my crash. Several days later I sent a text to let them know why I missed the appt and the shop owner I was ta...

I went back and listened to the epikore 11 and the shop had an affordable, average powered integrated amp and dynamics did sound less impressive than previous visits.

james633, yyz, Thanks for the well wishes I've always found kef speakers to have lots of detail, but not the micro detail that others manage so well. I did wonder if the new meta tweeter addressed it. audiojacks, i'm starting to think either will ...

yyz called it right, I have to start reading the dosage on these edibles.  b4 ingesting.  
Kef Blade to Blade meta?
But in reality I'm not going squat-diddly for awhile  
Kef Blade to Blade meta?
hey guys. yyz called iy iot. I was on my way to a 'Last ride of the year adventure group on mixed gravel/dirt roads and got my lower leg and foot crushed by a jeep. Today is my first chance to check in. I'm leaning towards deep_333's suggestion. W...

Looking for my End Game Speaker
I bid on a pair of vivid Giya b1 spirits including my Blades and some cash and when the dealer told me we were close I did a deep dive into the speakers to decide how much more to offer. I found a couple threads that scared me off. Several posters... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
Bump, sorry bit chilly for a motorcycle ride so I’m reviving old threads. My buddies hated my speakers playing R&R and they all went Klipsch if they could and Cerwyn Vega on a budget. Most of us enjoy rock while driving and bass is everywhere....
