I will get them in case I can find a good deal.
A4L has the R3s refubished for $1600/pair. Though I wonder if you can deal with any dealers and get them close enough for new to make more sense. Though I have no idea if any KEF dealers can/do deal.
Walnut, black and white.
As far as I've been able to find there are no deals on the Elac DBR62s. The Elac Debut Reference line is relatively new right? Couple that with scarcity due to COVID19 and it could make sense there are no deals to be found (easily). Still, the DBR62s new are still less than half the price of refurbished R3s. I'm not knocking the idea despite them being in different price brackets. I've had a similar thought in my head in building my next imaginary at this point system; KEF R series or Elac Debut Reference series. I think it comes down less to which one is better, or especially a better value, as to how much money you want to spend. Of course the Elac is a better value. Assuming 2 good performing speakers for the price the more expensive speaker is almost always going to be a worse value re: 'laws' of diminishing return.
