King of center channel

Jacob from ENGLEWOOD, CO on 1/16/2025

Powerful, robust center. Couldn't want anything more. Probably overkill for small rooms. Pairs great with towers, still goes well with R3 Meta in larger rooms.

Cons: Expensive

KEF R6 Meta

Jeremy from Pelham, NY on 5/6/2024

Verified customer

Incredible detail in dialog. Excellent complement to my KEF R3 Meta LR setup to add some punch to home theater.

Pros: Crisp and precise midrange and high-end. Exceptionally neutral.

Cons: A little muddy on the low end in my small and acoustically challenging TV room, but bumping the crossover to my sub up a bit resolved issues without apparently sacrificing detail or resulting in sub localization.

Fantastic sound! I bought the R5 Meta to go along with my Kef R11s. Previously I had a Tag Mclaren center speaker. The sound is amazing, so well integrated it is impossible to discern where each frequency is coming from.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
