I just subscribed to support this young lady. As a 64 year old male who has been an audiophile since 1979, I believe that my generation must encourage younger generations into our audio passion.
It's good to see young people in the audiophile community. Most of the people are old guys like me. I bought my first system in 1975, so yes I am an old guy!
Very well done review. I actually bought a pair of the KEFs last month because positive reviews have been very consistent across the board. One of the standouts of this review was seeing a woman HiFi reviewer for the first time… and hearing her perspective. Thanks! Will subscribe!!
Nice review! I totally agree with your assessment of the LS50 Metas. I had them for a short while and did not agree with all the other reviews about how good they are.
Wow! What a wonderful, concise review. Class C and Class G amps!? I've never heard eiether of those - we need to see your setup.
Can't wait to hear more from you.
Class D and Class G.
Nice to see you back again my friend.

Greetings from Scotland! Excellent review. I just subbed
🤗 THANKS FOR YOUR REVIEW 💚💚💚
This was a useful review video
Will have to check out the past content
Subscribed and hope you continue to put our new content
Excellent review! You have a great setup!
I use some small blobs of blutac between the bottom of the speaker and my solidsteel stands, which ensures they are not going to fall off.
great review imformtive and. intresting with. detail. kef are great speakers. really showing ur set up. very nice indded. the turntable looks wicked
Great review. You should ask Starke Sound for the Beta7 so you can review them. New speaker $750.
I also had a similar journey to yours. I had LS50 Metas previously which I really loved but upgrading to KEF R3 Metas with the combination of Hegel H190 and Gustard R26 DAC the sound became even more 3D holographic. I also use KEF's KC62 Sub from my previous setup which still helps to extend the frequency range and enlarge the soundstage
Great review. You will go far. Perhaps add your opinion on things like "living room" decor factor or room size appropriateness. Perhaps a comment as to listener type ....
A few thoughts but follow your gut this is the way a new audience in the hobby can be drawn in.
Hello Potato. I have also had my Kef R3 Meta for coming up to a year. They are connected to an Accuphase E211 and a Music Hall Ikura with the Ortofon 2m blue. I want to hug and kiss these speakers as whenever I play a record, which hasn't yet been played through them, they make me laugh and smile! They find details, separate them exquisitely, and bass fat that my previous speakers did not/could not. They throw the image wide, deep and skyward. I really couldn't afford these speakers but I'm so glad I bought them.
Hey,good job..thanks for the review
I have to say you have the most enviable system to test with. The Gato, the Metallica turntable, and the R3 Meta would make a truly classy setup. I am surprised by the bass impact you mentioned, I always thought the KEF were more thin, esp. when compared to the 1961s. Thank you for the analysis and being the first (and only) TH-camr to combine such a prefect end-game system...at least until your next system iteration😄
Great review!!!
very nice review, thanks!
I have come a long way with kef speakers. The first were the original ls 50, then I bought the meta version, currently I own the r3 meta, and in about 5 weeks my endgame will arrive in the form of the reference 1 meta. I love the sound of these speakers I know this will be the end of my road when it comes to speakers. As usual great material regards.
What amp are you driving the r3s? And what you using on the reference? Awesome speakers
I now use nuprime ida 16 with r3 meta, and under reference at least at first will also be combined. In my opinion it is a great amp with great power and bass control so I am curious how it will power these speakers
Very good review young lady! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber here.
Great review.
Glad to here , not harsh
Great review.
I'm currently stuck deciding between the Kef R3 Meta, Arendal 1723 Monitor S THX and the Wharfedale Aura 2.
Meta's are the best all rounder in the group. The Arendal's need to be paired with a sub. The Wharfedale's have limited vertical dispersion. Not saying any of this has to matter to you, just putting it out here.
@@bearclaw5115 Yeah, but the Wharfedale is the cheapest one and has the most base output, the Arendal can get the loudest but it's the ugliest, and the Kef is the most expensive. hmm tough. choice. I'm waiting on a few more reviews and comparisons out there to decide.
...the r3meta is defo worth way more than the asking price!
@@bearclaw5115But for movies, would you go with an Arendal 1723 S setup?
Good review and glad I ran across your channel! In looking at your set up I am assuming you use them for music only. Curious how they do for home theater. Did you happen to test in that scenario also, if so could you share your quick thoughts?
Unfortunately I did not use them for home theater (I use a soundbar with my TV).
Potato Maven, i’m just saying that if you uploaded a playlist then i’d check it out
Nice video! I have the Arcam SA20 and absolutely love it. I don’t listen loud so I’m getting more of the “Class A” portion of the Class G with my KLH Model 3’s.
Question for you: how did your SA20 match with the R3 Metas? Any concerns? Good luck with your channel!
A bit smooth with deep bass (not as impactful as with a Class D). The SA20 is my favourite amp.
@@Potato_Fi thank you for your feedback! SA20 is on clearance now and an absolute steal!
I think you could have spent more time contrasting the Celan and the Meta's. It's no surprise that a nearly double the cost speaker performs better but did the Celan's do anything better?
Great to see a young lady in this space. Subbed to support.
great video, how did they sound with the sa20?
A bit smooth with deep bass (not as impactful as with a Class D).
Not good to place sub direct to listener, it's better to put it in the corner with dynamic in corner direction.
Did you make it to Axpona this year oh and great review ❤
Unfortunately no. I went to the Masters Tournament which was held on the same dates.
@@Potato_Fi oh okay awsome well maybe next year bye the way love your review
r3 meta... better than I thought it would be.
Bad Channel Name, Sorry but true for me. Good reviewer and reviews. I am into HiFi as well as Potato's of many types. What do they have to do with each other?
I have to agree. I think she should switch it up before she grows herself into a potato shaped box.
Ohio?
My unique/strange of humor. 🤣
What’s a “woover”?
Woofer 🤣
i heard they sound little thin
they don't, trust me!

Hi
for a beginner good review, can be improved why you call your channel Potato Fi? with this name you don't sound serious. Hope you get more equipment on loan from different manufacturers, buying your own equipment can be expensive. From there you will gain more experience with audio reproduction and audio equipment.
speakers rear port does cause problem when you put the speakers closer to the wall. This kind of speaker it is advisable you place them at least or greater than 3m from the rear wall.
nonsense
This community needs you more than you need them!!! Diversity and inclusion. Keep doing it your way. Absolutely love the review
DEI SUCKS!!!!
@@jayem1826no u
Hahahaha BS
Stop talking with your hands
Stop talking with you butt
That’s ok if you deleted my post. Ef your dei and I’ll never consider this speaker just because of your dei BS
i give you permission to stay mad
.... and then she said "break in" and it was all over.
