I have recently upgraded my front and centres to Kef R7 and R2c from Q500 and Q200c.
Having run Audyssey I have to say I am disappointed with the outcome. Listening to different movie scenes I know well,there is a distinct lack of high end clarity with if anything an apparent quieting off of detail in scenes. The centre detail seems fine especially for dialogue , its just the L&R seem to lose the top high end detail. Bass is no problem its there in abundance.
I have listened to content from both 4k dvd and streamed movies and normal tv and the results are the same each time. One example in the LOTR Mines of Moria scene where the clarity of the orcs scrabbling and crawling out of the walls and ceilings etc is no longer there. I have no where near the same high end detail and clarity I had with my Q500’s.
I was wondering if my Denon AVR 4400 just doesnt have enough grunt or maybe i was just used to over bright Q500?
I have tried different settings within Audyssey of course, so many in fact I think I am losing myself with whats the better sounding option!!!
Peoples thoughts are welcome !!!
I am also running Q150 rears, Q50a and BK xxl400 sub.
