The Q1 metas that go on sale most often serve their purpose, get people into Uni-q and get them interested in higher end models later on. Low profit for KEF and put on sale just to meet the price point of other speakers which are older engineering.
Q1 metas are goos enough for most 60-75% of people.
More for clarity than loud party slammers so you need less volume. Not loud enough for outdoor or large indoor parties/events
A r3 would be ideal for a true large home theater setup but these days who's really gonna have one of those and shop for the lowest end MAT speaker from KEF.
Great deal regardless. Prices will end up near msrp if this is anything like the previous models. Except better bc these are optimized with MAT a evolutionary material in Uni-Q development

For HT-focused setup I find the R series a bit dull, despite how much I love them for 2 channel music especially the classical and jazz I mainly listen to. I'd go with a compression driver tweeter for much better dynamics and "fun factor" --- the only drawback here being aesthetics where KEF wins handily.

Yes but its much larger, unsightly, heavier, doesn't fit well into home decor. For the average person, a boutique speaker is not the way to go, harder to resell down the road etc. Even myself I would not go for such speakers despite agreeing that they have slightly superior sound and there are unique offerings out there.
