Denon KEF R Meta Home Cinema System

Denon KEF System Overview

This is one of those systems that just seems right. It gives you plenty of visual and sonic bang for your buck and is comfortable in rooms up to around 5m by 8m in size. We’ve taken all the guess work out of designing your system by grouping together the right components, to give you the best possible picture and sound experience!

To start we have a DTX 130” 16:9 Fixed Screen that is mounted on the wall. Added to this is the Sony VPL-XW5000ES 4K Laser Projector with Sony's Flagship-Level X1 Ultimate projector processing technology.

A Denon AVC-X3800H 11.4 Channel 8k Audio Video Receiver is the heart of the system, being the switch point between your audio and video sources and providing power to all speakers except the front left, centre and right which are powered separately by an Anthem MCA 325 Gen 2 225 Watt 3 channel power amplifier.

Video sources are a Panasonic DP-UB9000 4KBlu-Ray Player to watch your DVD and Blu-ray Discs and an R_Volution PlayerOne 8K Ultra HD Media Player.

The speakers are mainly from KEF’s R Meta range with the range topping R11 Meta handling the front left and right and the R6 Meta doing centre channel duties. The KEF R8 Meta’s are pushed into service as rear surrounds while the KEF Ci200QR in-ceiling speakers create wonderfully realistic overhead Dolby Atmos effects. Bass is handled by a pair of JL Audio Dominion d110 subwoofers that rock the room – literally.

This system comes with all necessary cables included. Be aware Audio Trends can offer professional installation in metropolitan Melbourne. Also, don’t forget to ask us about RTi (One Remote to Control them all) and the option of comfortable reclining Cinema Seating.

Anthem MCA 325 Gen 2 Power Amplifier

Turns out, the Anthem MCA 325 Gen 2 is one of the most accomplished three channel power amplifiers available today. It is wonderfully suited to multi-channel audio visual systems and delivers a meaty 3 x 225 Watts into 8 ohms and a mighty 400 Watts into 4 ohms, but this amplifier doesn't stop there. The MCA 325 Gen 2 will produce a whopping 600 Watts into 2 ohms, an impedance figure rarely contemplated by most brands, and that is a continuous 20 Hz to 20 kHz all three channels driven figure, which is quite mind blowing.

The MCA 325 Gen 2 and its siblings are designed and crafted in Canada and are like no other amplifier in the world. Their list of accomplishments are long and distinguished. For example, they have custom low noise high-power toroidal transformers, high-current bipolar output transistors, high-quality filter capacitors, advanced power supply regulators, oversized aluminium heatsinks, custom-designed dual binding posts and patented auto-on/off circuitry. This superior craftsmanship is reflected in clean, clear, audiophile-quality sound from the top to the bottom of the frequency spectrum.

KEF R11 Meta Floorstanding Speakers

The R11 Meta is the largest floorstanding model of the R Series. For a breathtaking listening experience, its combination of 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ and four 6.5" hybrid aluminium bass drivers allow it to pick out the subtle details of a recording, while also delivering raw power and agility.

Whether in stereo for music or in a home theatre set up the R Series makes exceptional acoustic performance more accessible. Now with the ground breaking Metamaterial Absorption Technology, the R Series reveals exquisite detail and incredible insight: truly an experience to savour.

At the heart of the R Series is Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™). MAT™ is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted noise from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing purer, more natural sound.

A 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ is found in all models of the R Series. Uni-Q® acts as a single point source to disperse sound more evenly through the room. The result is the elimination of the limited 'sweet spot', therefore allowing everybody, wherever in the room they may be, to experience and enjoy the same natural, detailed sound.

Designed to be used in an LCR configuration, the R6 Meta is effortlessly versatile. Thanks to twin, powerful 165mm (6.5") hybrid aluminium bass drivers, every sound is perfectly reproduced to ensure the audience doesn't miss a beat.

Since 1961, KEF's quest to reproduce immaculate sound has led to many acoustic innovations. The Reference is a case in point. Distilling decades of experience into an acoustic performance that is nothing short of exceptional, it is a design that continually sets the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Now the latest technological innovations have also made their way into the R Series.

A truly immersive movie experience at home requires planning, or a multitasking solution. This is where the R8 Meta comes in.

Fully equipped with 12th generation Uni-Q array with MAT, every detail of the audio is clearly described and steered around the listening space as the director intended.

2 x KEF Ci200QR Dolby Atmos In-Ceiling Speakers

Featuring KEF's sophisticated 'sit anywhere' Uni-Q driver array, which places the tweeter in the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, this allows both the tweeter and woofer to act as a single point source that disperses the sound widely and evenly throughout the room. Together with the discreet Ultra-Thin Bezel (UTB) design, offering the slimmest possible visible rim around the speaker, the Ci-Q Series gives you tremendous freedom to position the speakers where you please.
