Don't let this idiot waste you time--there's nothing here but an unboxing and a lot of rambling nonsense--this is NOT a review!

Thank you for making this review with a demo included and not just a solo demo, but a comparison demo. It seems like there are not a lot of actual demos to hear the Qseries. I have heard the r series and based off of that, I ordered the Q11s and Q6 center.

curious as to why you have your center mounted above your t.v., why not just raise the tv since it looks to be on a stand mount and have the center more ear level on the console

Andrew Jones is master class at making crossovers...His cheaper speakers get less quality components but still sound great. His high end speakers really shine and out perform speakers well above their price range. Been a fan of Andrew Jone speakers since the Pioneer BS22s $100.00 pair at Best Buy years ago...Price to performance is were Andrew Jones is KING!!!

Nice review! Thanks for sharing.

Dude I cautioned you about your Obsession about banana plugs. Nobody buys speakers based upon binding posts. As I mentioned previously... there's a reason why they call them 5 way binding posts. If I treasure a particular speaker, I'm an audiophile and will figure out a secure connection to my IotaVX amp. Your incessant fascination with this obscure feature leads to make me believe that you are on the spectrum. So you have content that compels me to watch your channel like the gear that you explore...but I'm unsubscribing because you refuse to listen and adapt to your audience. Adios Amigo...good luck ruminating about banana plugs.

i have been considering the ubr62 but i am not sure, i do not really trust the front port. that usually kills base. the same with the ub52. the elacs prevous to this one all have front port.

KEF Concerto Meta vs ELAC Unifi UB5 (both 3 way speakers and both 4 ohms impedance).

How do these ELAC compare to the RP600 (vii)?

They both sound muffled..my q 3020is sound way better

For Rock & Metal, do you recommend ELAC Debut 3.0 or RP600? I have Emotiva B1+ and it’s too linear / tame for me. I want more excitement

great point abt the prospects of gummy coatings

I purchased these B2’s yesterday @ Crutchfield for their Black Friday sale. They r $100 off each. I’ll give them a long listening and let you know my thoughts 🤔

Many years ago,I had Q150 and dissapointed with craftmanship.After that,I always check it out that China made or not whenever I have seen KEF.

Although prob. not the best acoustic environment, for me its clear the R3 easily takes the cake. However, the Concerto did not disappoint, but in A/B it sounds more restricted and/or less 'easy'.

I know the finger prints on the gloss finish is a big issue for many, but honestly once I found the proper setup for them I never touch them unless I’m dusting them

You need to learn to keep your eyeline with the camera. NOT, whatever is off to your right.

Good video. Watched all the way through and your intro is fine. Everyone has to have a hook and that isn't really corny, it fits 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂👍👍

It'll be R3 Metas for me, after watching this vid. The only thing left now it to determine if there're any other speakers around that price range to consider. May consider stepping up to the PS Audio FR5. A giant deciding factor will be, as you put it, the precision of the imaging, and the ability of the speakers to disappear.

Can you do a video of the cantons please

I didn't think there would be such a huge difference in sound. The R3 Meta was very natural and articulate. The Concerto seemed more muted and oddly I thought I heard more reverb. But it would have been interesting to have a blind AB hearing test.

I def love the R3 and the rest of the Rx series but the new kef Q3 and series are such a good deal if you’re building out more than just a 2 channel system. If it’s just the 2 speakers, def like the R3 better. But you’re basically 90% of R series with the new Q series (again, thinking of a 5.1.4 system and up). Maybe add some “no rez” for the concertos etc. 🎉

I had a hard time really hearing the difference. I'm sure there is but on RUclips on my TV I couldn't tell. The more expensive Meta looks a little nicer, but I would definitely have to hear them in person. Price wise they have other speakers to compete with. I think for $2400 you can get jtr speakers.

Thanks for sharing.

Great review. I was able to get a brand new indigo gloss r3 meta for less than the price of the concertos, so it was a no-brainer for me. Used the savings to splurge on their overpriced stands. 😆

Clarity, like detailed, is not (only) tonality/frequency related. Quality of filter components do matter a lot on this level.

Ps Bas seems to come from one side! Both speakers!

R3 meta, much better build quality.

For the money do the q concerto dissapear?

Great job! A comparison between R3 and R3 Meta would be really cool too

You are fast becoming my favourite Speaker reviewer. Good job, well done.

Thoughts on the SB4000, or is that the SB16? I just got a pair of the SB4000s, and currently dialing them in.

Which one is easier to handle, and which one would fit better with the Marantz model M1?

Also, one correction: like the R3 Metas, the Q Concerto Meta bass drivers also come with KEF's hybrid aluminum cones, which is aluminum with a paper backing. You seemed to indicate that they are aluminum only.

Unless my ears and mind are decieving me, I hear a better output from the R3 Meta. They are closer then their price may suggest. The Q's sound even closer in the rockier tunes. What Amp was driving them?

Never seen this reviewer. Is he blind? I ask because of the lack of eye contact. Not being mean, just curious. He's got the stats memorized incredibly well. Good review! 👍

from what i hear- and your room is definitely not the best- the Q is a bit too subdued in the highs for my taste. Also not to mention the finish on the R3- no comparison.

KEF R3 Meta Indigo Gloss is my dream! But they never discounted, also dislike finish of Q Concerto

Thank you very much for your video, with what integrated amplifier and cables do you try the speakers? For me, If i have the money I just start with the Q concerto for one year, next year buy the R3 meta. I actually have the Elac Unifi UB52, its a great bookshelft speaker when you use a subwoofer.

anal about the finish...peel it off? otherwise good review

Great review! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant video comparison. Very useful to see these two together. I definitely agree after watching this and my own experience that the r3 meta is definitely the better speaker.

These KEF Concerto vs the 3 Way Elac Unify UB5. Would be an awesome comparison to see as the UB5 are also fantastic 3 way speakers.

Thought the KEFs def had a richer and fuller sound but kinda preferred the highs of the Elacs

The blue ones are absolutely badass and they sound really really good can’t wait to hear them after the 150 hour break-in period

Could you make a comparison of these q concert meta vs monitor audio studio 89?

Thank you for the review. I’ve been going back and forth between these and the KEF Q series… hoping to find these on a Black Friday sale!

The elac sounded smoother, more open, bigger soundstage, more cohesive….😮

I'd imagine difference is to be expected with the massive difference in price range, kefs being 3 to 4+ times the price per speaker, but aside from that note, I'll add that I got a debut 3.0 surround sound setup. Ran dirac live and it solved a lot of the imaging issues both in surround and stereo. I wonder how both compare after a dirac correction (and this was only a 3 pt correction so far). I'd love a kef setup someday but rn 1500 for a full surround system vs 3k+ for the equivalent kef, is making me wait for used or until i have that money to burn. Even then, these debut 3.0s with dirac are great. (Lx505 here).

kind of lame you buy it review it and then return it. your bottom rung as far as reviewers go
