I just saw a video of someone showing of their kef R3 (non meta) and they had strong woofer excursion (the woofer driver moving in and out). And out of curiosity I checked my R 3 meta and they don’t do that at all. I do hear the bass clearly and pretty strong but almost no visible movement in the woofer.

The video: https://youtu.be/jDb1QswKY8k

In the comments of the video he says it is filmed with no slo mo camera mode on iPhone.

I there something wrong with my r3 meta?

I'd like place a few panels on one of my walls to help with sound. However I would also like to hang art pieces instead of the usual sound panels. Would the large art panels (paintings) help in any meaningful manner ? If I place a sound deafening panel behind the art panel, will that help more ?

I'm installing a sound system for a friend's barber shop and the best option I've come up with would be six ceiling mounted speakers. Is there a better way? I'm looking to use a Rockville audio zoner to split the front signals to three separate sources. I'm also concerned about fall-off from long cable runs and ensuring the passive speakers are properly powered, with a strong audio signal. I'm a bit out of my depth here and want to ensure I do this properly.

Hello everyone,

I was offered this unit for about $300 but I have never heard of this brand.

They said that this is something Best Buy sells for home theaters however I don’t see it on their website (or pretty much any other)

Is this just cheap Chinese system or is it legit?
