Detailed KEF sound for your home theater's center channel Meet the R2c, the voice-matched center channel for KEF's gorgeous, newly redesigned R Series speaker lineup. While the previous generation earned rave reviews from Crutchfield employees and customers alike, these new R Series models are jam-packed with upgrades that promise even sweeter, more refined sound. Precise imaging, thanks to Uni-Q technology KEF's patented Uni-Q technology places the speaker's 1" tweeter in the acoustic center of a 5" midrange driver. The R2c and other R Series models feature the latest refinement of this concentric driver technology. KEF has managed to reduce coloration by cutting resonance in the tiny gaps between the Uni-Q array's elements, for purer and more precise sound and even better imaging. And the ring you see around the Uni-Q array is what KEF calls their "Shadow Flare": its shape is carefully profiled to reduce high-frequency diffraction (a kind of interference), for the purest possible sound. High-tech woofers for punchy bass Each of the two 5-1/4" hybrid aluminum woofers is made up of a shallow aluminum skin atop a paper cone. This hybrid design allows very precise movement, for dynamic, accurate bass. Part of a complete KEF surround sound system The KEF R Series features an array of speakers that are voice-matched for compatibility in an immersive surround sound system: floor-standing speakers for front left and right channels bookshelf speakers for front, rear, or surround channels center channel speakers for clear dialogue Dolby Atmos toppers and surround speakers for effects channels powered subwoofers Got wire?

 And the reason I say that is because the R3 is a rear ported speaker. So if you put it too close to the wall, you're going to effectively, you know, choke off that port, you know, if it's more than or less than, you know, a few inches away. You could seal up that port, but then it makes it more like a sealed enclosure with one six and a half inch woofer and you probably won't have the dynamic range or headroom that the R2C has, but that's purely conjecture. That's a guess based on, you know, some experience of what I'm seeing in the data

 So keep that in mind as I'm kind of going back and forth between this particular set of data. But with that said, what you can see is a very, man this KEF R3 looks really fantastic. The only thing that stood out to me and what I heard and what shows up in the data is there is a little bit of a high frequency bump going on here and it's about maybe 1 to 2 dB and it's just enough to maybe cause itself to stand out in a room. If you're listening, your typical seated position from a few meters away or more, what you might hear is a little bit more detail or sparkle or air or conversely you may call that bright or fatiguing

 Thing is though, it's more linear in progression. Now remember this is a sealed enclosure, whereas this is a ported enclosure. When the port comes into play, the distortion dips and then it increases significantly above that and you don't have that same trend with this speaker because you don't have a port. So you don't have a dip and then a significant increase

 First up we have the KEF R3 and it looks really good at 96 dB at one meter. You're well below 1% THD until you get below 100 Hz, really, really clean speaker here. Around 50 Hz, 70 Hz or so is when you start to pick up into the 3% THD region and then you just increase drastically below that frequency. Now let's switch over to the R2C and we can see that you're not quite far as down in the distortion values, but you're still really low

Which is Better for Home Theater: (3) Kef R3 or (3) Kef R2c Center Channel speakers?

 What's up everybody, this is Aaron from Aaron's Audio Corner and today we are going to be taking a look at the Kev R2C Kev Center Channel. It is a center channel that has a five inch mid-range with the one inch dome tweeter coaxially located in the mid-range and then it has a pair of five and a quarter inch woofers on either side. I'll throw up a picture right here so you can check it out. The unit that I got actually came from a viewer who sent this to me as well as the R8A which is the Atmos speaker

 So let's go down here and through the mid-range area, pretty much the same thing, but when you get above 1 kHz, that's when I start seeing things that I recall being different and then certainly when you get above, you know, the 8 kHz region to 10 kHz, I mean, you've got some really odd stuff going on. What this is really telling you is don't use the grill unless you have to. Now what happens when you stand the speaker upright, what does the spin data look like? Well, for this speaker, it's pretty much the exact same. Matter of fact, if I overlaid this set of data on top of the horizontal data, it's pretty much the exact same

 This house was built about seven years ago. It's not an old construction home. It's a new construction and all I had playing was just that center channel. What that tells me is that the impedance of the speaker dips down pretty low and sure enough when we go and look at the data, we see that as well

5 dB got rid of the sibilance. Maybe not got rid of it but certainly calmed it down enough to where it was livable because in my subjective opinion, it was intolerable in its bare form. Another thing that is also worth noting is kind of going back to the subjective aspect about the bass. When I was listening to Nas' new album, which if you haven't heard it and you like rap music, I say give that a shot

Kef R2c Center Channel Speaker Review

7 and the depth is at 12.1. So it was just perfect when I put this center speaker inside my BDI TV stand. So what do you guys think of the Kev R2C's unboxing video? If you like this type of content, if you could do me a favor by hitting that like button and the subscribe button, I'd greatly appreciate it

 A lot of my speakers has been delayed. So just be patient and I'm definitely going to do an unboxing later in the future. But to get back into the Kev speakers, one of the reasons why it drove me to go ahead and purchase these speakers is just the sound and the aesthetics and looks. Those speakers are some sexy speakers

 So going back to the R2C's Kev's, one thing I will give everyone a heads up on, they are great sounding center speakers. They are definitely an upgrade from my previous speakers that I have owned in the past and for me I think they are pretty much top of the class in that price range. But I will say this, as in the center speaker is being as clear and warm as it is, it also doesn't have, the negative side of it is that it doesn't have a lot of bass to it. Now that's just kind of like my preliminary just to give everyone a heads up, but comparing that to the BMW's, that's one thing that I think it fails, well I want to say it fails, I would say that's one of the drawbacks on the center speaker

 I want them to still come from the screen area. So if I can't get it to sound correct I will 100% move it to where that projector is and I will be happy with that otherwise. So I'm going to do a quick demo, maybe 30 seconds, just let you guys hear some voices on it and we'll wrap it up. Come on, this way

 I've been using a phantom center for a while and I've made a video on my feelings about that so I'll spare you in this video but I do really miss having a dedicated thinner channel. Now if you've been following my upgrades as of late, I also have just recently purchased a UST projector, ultra short throw projector and ultra short throw projectors typically go where your center channel does and so a lot of you guys have been asking me what are you going to do about your positioning? Well I had all this in mind even before I bought the projector and before I bought the stand that my projector is sitting on. The stand has a cutout in the middle and I measured it to make sure that before I bought this that it fit and it did fit. I've tested it out off camera and it fits right in snug very perfectly

 You said you had a plane, a plane. No, no, no. I told you I could fly you home and Katinka can fly you home little bird. She was named Katinka after wayfarer's lover

 But more back to the R2C. This is the center channel that matches with the R speaker line, the R5s, R7s and R11s I think it is in the Kev lineup. I have the R11s of course, R2C and then there are R3s, the small bookshelves that I will get to do my surround sound duties. Now one thing I did not pay attention to when I was doing my research that I'm actually happy about is that this center channel is sealed

KEF R2C Center Channel Speaker

Clear Dialogue; Seamless Soundstage A center speaker has a challenging part to play. It has to be a soloist delivering clear and natural dialogue across a broad soundstage. A split second later it has to fill the role of back-up band melding with the ambiance of the environment to contribute realism in movies and music. The Prime Center Speaker delivers on both of these demands with world-class precision via its 1 aluminum dome tweeter dedicated and independently sealed 3.5 midrange driver and dual 5.25 woofers a true three-way design that is a rarity for center channel speakers in their price class. Voicing is neutral and natural bringing dialogue and vocals forward just enough to be clear and intelligible. Yet when called on to play its part in transitions like a jet fighter soaring across the sky from left rear channel to front rightit blends in to create a smooth realistic transition. Elegantly styled like its Prime siblings the Center will look beautiful in any listening environment. Superior Technology and Design - Amazing Sound and Performance Borrowing liberally from the flagship Ultra Center the Prime Center channel features a true 3-way center channel with a vertically-aligned tweeter and midrange driver. This eliminates comb filtering and lobing in the horizontal axis resulting in crystal clear dialogue at all listening positions in the room. Now everyone will have a sweet spot and wont have to strain to hear dialogue. The dual 5.25 woofers deliver a full and rich sound doing full justice to deep male voices and delivering plenty of punch on special effects. And to make sure those beefy woofers cant modulate the delicate and critical midrange frequencies the midrange driver is mounted in its own dedicated and completely sealed compartment. Available in premium-grade piano gloss black or handsome black ash finish the Prime Center is handsomely styled and tells the world youre serious about high performance home theater. SVS Driv

 Those weren't a good match for the Pinnacles at all largely due to the fact that the Pioneers used soft dome tweeters and more importantly were not tamber matched at all to the Prime Pinnacles. The reason I mention this is when I plugged the Prime Center and Bookshelf speakers up I was instantly floored at just how massive of an upgrade they were over the Pioneers. This wasn't just down to the tamber matching either. In listening closely to the Center channel, dialogue and effects were suddenly crystal clear and had impact when needed even in movies that have well-known issues with dialogue clarity such as Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises

 I could actually make out Bane's voice much more clearly than ever before which is a big plus in my opinion. The Center was much harder to gauge in video games as many of them, like Call of Duty for example, don't use the Center channel at all and instead have everything being pumped through the left and right channels. However, checking out Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Immortals Phoenix Rising which do use the Center channel for dialogue, character movement, as well as other effects, the improvement in overall clarity and crispness was again an instant and massive upgrade. And since the Center is tamber matched to the Pinnacles, sounds that would pan across the front soundstage like a weapon swing for instance, sounded seamless and more like you were using three of the same speaker for the fronts instead of a different sized Center channel

 Base response is amazing as well, though in my case a bit too accentuated because I have them right up against the side walls. A little EQ reduced this overbearing bass and really made the speakers shine, as did crossing them over at 80Hz. I did also use the Prime bookshelves as my front left and right speakers and was honestly amazed at how big the sound was coming out of them. They legit sounded like speakers twice their size and actually give my Pioneer Tower speakers run for their money

I currently have a Yamaha RXV1900, SVS SB-2000, and 5 mirage nano sat speakers.

40% movies, 40% music, 20% games.  

I’d love to have better speakers everywhere, but size/placement options are very difficult in my living room.  Right now the nanosats are inverted from exposed beams.

The primary issue is that dialogue gets lost easily in movies. I’ve adjusted EQ, used the various DSP settings, boosted the channel as high as possible without it dominating, but overall it’s all just a poor fix.  Can anyone recommend a center channel that would match well?  I can put the center speaker on a shelf, so this speaker doesn’t have to be small like the others.

Alternatively, if there is another small/cube style speakers out there that can be mounted similarly and are relatively the same size that would blow these away, please bring on the recommendations.

Room size is 22’ x 24’.  Listening distance is about 16’ away.  

Center channel budget $500 max.  For fronts and surrounds I’m fairly open on price since I don’t believe there are too many options?  

Thanks for any and all advice!

Recommendations for a center channel? Or better speakers all around?

Not sure I'd really want the Prime Bookshelves as my main front L/R speakers. They're just slightly under sized for what they are in that use case, at least I think so. &#x200B;. But also I'd try and sway you away from SVS for the speakers, for the money you're looking to spend here, you really should look at the Ascend Acoustics CMT340SE's and the center

Quite literally what the title says. I'm planning to have a center speaker aswell, but I'm not sure which road to take. 

Important thing to mention is that I'm planning this setup with music on the 1st place and home theater on 2nd place. Having in mind that price difference between bookshelves and towers is not important, what would you guys suggest, bookshelves or towers in this configuration?

I plan to have complete SVS setup with Denon AVR, most likely X3700H or X4700H. It's either SVS Prime Towers + SVS Prime Center + 2x SVS SB-1000 PRO or that exactly same setup but with SVS Prime Bookshelves.

Bookshelves + 2x subs vs Floorstandings + 2x subs

 The ports on the back for bass are very small. Even pulling down the crossover to 50hz. Flat. Speaker sounded very tinny

 SVS was flat and lifeless. It has no bass. The ports on the back for bass are very small. Even pulling down the crossover to 50hz

 Each speaker was $400. Klipsch RP-504C is a better choice for the money. Tweaking the EQ helps. But for $400 I expect a lot better

Lack luster and disappointing
