R11

I have the entire R line up including the R11's for my 7.2.4 dolby atmos home theater setup. I love everything about these speakers. They look amazing and sound even better. I run them with the Denon avr-x8500h, which is beast!! Needless to say they shine bright and I'm a Kef fan for life.

Looks- This is hands down most beautiful speakers ever. Slim but the presence in a room is noticable and heavy too. There is a reason for being heavy because KEF put good stuff in there.

Sound- Great as stereo and so perfect that "you feel" there is a center channel, like you are in a concert. Some songs just blow your mind listening through it, like picking up details and gives you a headphone effect, for eg: Sicko mode by Travis & Drake. I listen to all genres except Hard rock and Country, so no comments on those, everything else it's amazing!

Loudness: I think you only need small amps to drive it because it's sensitive. I'm driving with a Denon av receiver, 105 watts per channel in stereo. If you calibrate through audessey and level up at 75db, you only have to go beyond 50% if you are having a party. I have never gone beyond 65% in fact because my house shakes with these stereo speakers. Great bass!

Price: First I though it's expensive with the specs in the sheet. But I was mistaken by it's real world performance. You cannot get such performing speakers for this price PERIOD

My KEF 107/2 at 28 years old needed alot of attention. I decided they needed to go to a new home where they could be rebuilt. As a lover of the KEF sound I called a friend who also is a KEF person told him my plans he told me listen to the R11's. With the situation could not go to his house or store to listen. Took his recommendation and ordered the R11. Wow just as I stated and he told me they are fantastic meet all my criteria. Clean clear sound voices and tight natural base nothing added and nothing missing! Just a point about my wife first impression she said to me "why do you have the center channel on." I showed I did NOT the image they create is spot on. I set the up according to instruction both toed in at angle equal to the ten ft spread. Don't miss out by not hearing them. My wife and I play music all day absolutely no listening fatigue! And the blacks are really sharp! All looks are cool.

The Kef R11 is a significant upgrade to almost any system. Clear sound, tight vocals, and flat balanced bass response. These speakers are perfectly poised for music and movies. I compared them to B&W and the new Martin Logan Motion XTi 60. It was a tough decision because the sound quality of all three is exceptional. I was leaning towards the Logans however made a decision base on the bass response. The only small complaint is that they sound muffled on low volume. You have to crank the capacity to get them to perform — otherwise, great speakers.

While I tend to be frugal with my spending, these speakers are work of art and worth the price.

I love this sound. It’s different, in a good way.
Not a rock speaker ‘ but that’s okay, I’m not into loud rock. It’s more like a Van Morrison speaker.
Really nice with vocals, and Jazz.
The only complaint is the gloss black had bubbles,but they where returned no questions asked. Also good with blue’s music.
Good clean bass.
