I know those Path resistors are touted as being great resistors, but they are not. They are a significant bottleneck. Swap them out for our GR Research resistors and things will really open up.

Danny, I'm trying to reconcile your statement above about Path resistors not being great with your listing Path resistors under "Premium Resistors" on https://gr-research.com/resistors/. Am I misunderstanding something? Thank you.

Good question. I need to address that. Hobbs built that page several years ago before we really started testing with them and before realizing that they had steel endcap.

That page needs an update.

Hello Everybody,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends. I just wanted to post photos of a KEF R3 META that I just finished building. I used 3 crossover boards for each speaker, the inside is very tight with all the bracing. Enjoy!

























I will be bulding another KEF R3 META crossover  that will be externally mounted. We have the parts from Danny and just waiting for some big coils to come from US COILS. Have a blessed sunday everyone.

I'm the owner of the KEFs in the pics above and I cannot speak highly enough about Freddy. I shipped the speakers to him as I'm not much of a DIYer and wanted it done right. Freddy's attention to detail was phenomenal, taking meticulous care of the speakers from start to finish. He also took the time to discuss crossover and binding post options with me (e.g. Jupiter bypass caps), patiently educating as well as sharing pertinent links to Danny's videos. He provided updates and photos throughout the process. I don't really need to say anything about his excellent crossover builds as the pictures speak for themselves. His service fees are more than reasonable and absolutely worth it. Being about 200 hours into the burn-in process now, soundstage has opened up beautifully and resolution significantly improved. It would be fun to go head to head with a pair of KEF Reference 1 Meta speakers sometime. Thank you so much, Freddy! And thank you as well, Danny, for your analysis of the R3 Meta and resulting crossover schematics and parts kit.
