Cody, the Spirit just shines through you, Brother! It’s amazing. Excellent video too.

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Thank you 🙏🏾 😁😁

[@intenttoinjure]

Looking forward to this one, can't wait!

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Thanks! 🙏🏾

[@dpingy]

Can’t wait for the full review! Glad you were able to get a pair to try.

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Me too!

[@douglasgaither1346]

I've been waiting for an R6 Meta review. Go!!

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

😂😂 it’s coming

[@notoriouspomegranate5612]

You have a nice voice to listen to. This almost feels ASMR

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Thanks!

[@andersonsampaio5133]

Why the wires are connected like that ?

[@roelcorral7720]

Nice video! Now I don’t know which to get between these and arendal 1723. Can’t wait for a comparison!

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

I’m shooting and editing the video now with audio samples so you’ll be able to at least hear the difference between the two. 😁

[@eprohoda]

Bonjour! excellent recording!;))

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Bonjour!!! Merci! 🙏🏾

[@Dash_Inc]

Thumbnail made me think this speaker would be small; when the video started and you’re practically eclipsed by the boxes I was like ‘WHOA nvm’ 😅 These look incredible

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

You have an eagle eye!!! 😁 The thumbnail photo is from KEF and technically it's the R2 Meta which is smaller than the R6!

[@sammy10001]

Ive been considering this setup myself, so waiting for it. Can you do a density knock test? Knock on it like you would a watermelon, to see how dense and inert the cabinet is. My ls50 meta is inert as a piece of rock. I want to understand if these are just as braced. Also, can you test with the typical toe-in ON AXIS orientation, and then toe-out towards the rear wall of the room?

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

The cabinet is dense probably very similar to your ls50 (I don’t have one here to compare knock resonance 😁). I haven’t tested on and off axis performance yet but I’ll talk about it in the full review.

I've Been Fighting With Myself, On Sticking With Klipsch ( Probably Will Upgrade To The Klipsch RF-7lll And The Klipsch RC-64lll Ect.Ect?) Cause I Already Have Some Klipsch (8060FA And 504C Ect.Ect ) Speakers! But I Keep Seeing And Hearing About The Arendal 1723 S Speakers And These BEAUTIFUL SPEAKERS IN KEF, THE ONE'S YOUR SHOWING NOW, ALONG WITH R11 META SPEAKERS??? Don't Know Which Way To Go This 1, PLEASE REPLY... THANK YOU! ( It's Hard To Get Pass The Power 🔋 Wattage And SENSITIVITY Of The Klipsch Speakers I'm Looking @ Aswell! I Don't 👀 What Kef Or Arendal Can Do Otherwise??? Maybe It's The 4 OHM's Or Different Sound ??? Don't Know???)

[@pumpituphomeboy]

I got 5 of them today and they are AWESOME. I auditioned the R11 Meta for 2 hours yesterday and the R6 with 2 Arendal subs is far superior! The R meta sound noticeably better than the non meta (I previously had R11, R2C, R3). My previous setup after MQX sounded really good and these meta out of the box with NO correction sound as good and in some ways better and I haven't even run MQX yet. Gonna let them run in for a few days then run MQX and Dirac on my Denon A1H and interested to see or rather hear the results. Very happy with my purchase so far. These are the best speakera for multi-channel in the R series. But you WILL need subs to get the best out of them. The grill reduces the sound quality only use them if you have to. Owners of non meta have measured and shown the effect on many of the forums

[@sammy10001]

thats incredible man.

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Nice! Thanks for the testimonial! I’m surprised the grill on vs. off is noticeable but I’ll definitely try it.

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Thanks!

[@pumpituphomeboy]

@@HomeTheaterHobbyistCody are you using MQX on your Denon yet? If yes do you have the calibrated mic? Let me know if you have both so I can offer you some assistance on how to get the best out of MQX.

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

Yes, I’m using it with a calibrated mic. What advice do you have? You can email me if that’s easier.

[@ryandavid4840]

Hey bro, can you recommend a good 14 AWG speaker wire?

[@HomeTheaterHobbyist]

I'm a big fan of the Monoprice speaker wire: amzn.to/3Z7QJZS. Mediabridge also makes good cables (amzn.to/4602xjg) and connectors (amzn.to/44LZCtn)

[@ryandavid4840]

@@HomeTheaterHobbyist thanks for the recommendations!

[@DjBlaaack]

Is your baby sleeping in the room? Why are you whispering dude

[@bobsacamano1274]

What are you talking about? The man has a fabulous voice…dulcet tone, superb enunciation at just the right volume. Suggest you check the levels on your device and perhaps your hearing too.

[@sonuvabitch]

I have the R2C and its an amazing speaker - was on special as the Meta came out so jumped on it. Would love a whole bed layer of the same - thankfully Kef speakers are all timbre matched as also not made of money! The cabinetry on the R series is another level compared to the Qs functional boxes. Will likely slowly upgrade my Qs to Rs over the years - i have white ones for aesthetics (i.e. waf).

Thanks for sharing!
