KEF R7 META

Good responses all!  This is one of those rare threads with solid responses top to bottom, no BS. 

There’s one BS response with an amp recommendation. No one’s perfect. Anyway, I checked and I’ve got those Db ratings way to high. 65-70 is just fine. Didn’t know what I was about there.

I've found the R7 Metas to be a bit surprising in their ability to reveal subtle nuances of all their partnering equipment, more so than I realized or expected at first. They have have sounded very pleasant and competent with Lumxan M700 and PS Audio M1200 amps but the Decware is the one that, at least for now, has stopped the "I wonder if those other speakers would sound better" mental chatter. My wife almost always is listening with me and their wide sweet spot is appreciated. She's a big fan of the titanium grey/red driver color scheme, LOL. I agree with howardlee that they need be delivering 80db minimum volume to come alive, not at their best with background level music. That's also true of the Tidal Piano Ceras in our main system as well though. The R7s integrate very easily with a JL Audio F112 sub I had rebuilt with a number of v2 parts at JL Audio a couple years ago.
