    KEF R3 Meta vs ELAC Vela BS 404.2

    In Bulgaria, it can be found at the listed price. I can send you the link in a private message so that I’m not accused of advertising. As for the Radiant Acoustics 6.2, it’s twice my budget. I might use a subwoofer, but that’s not something I’m planning for the near future.

    KEF R3 Meta vs ELAC Vela BS 404.2

    Hi! I have a square room of 12 square meters with a wardrobe and a L-shaped desk. Part of the desk stands almost in the middle of the room. There is nothing in front of the desk, so it’s possible to place floor-standing speakers there. But I have serious doubts that it makes sense to get...

    I’m in a similar situation. The room where I mostly stay and listen to music is quite small. I don’t have the option to place the speakers far from the wall. At the moment, I’m using Mordaunt-Short Aviano 1. I really like the British sound, and I’d love to get the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 (or...
