Product Details

Description

The KEF R3 Meta is a remarkable three-way bookshelf speaker that delivers exceptional sound performance in both music and home theater applications. With its dimensions of 17” tall, 13” wide, and nearly 8” deep, it’s a larger bookshelf speaker that benefits from being mounted on stands, and KEF offers a custom stand with integrated cable management designed specifically for the R3 Meta. This speaker features KEF’s advanced 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array, which is paired with a 6.5” hybrid aluminum paper cone woofer, ensuring precise midrange and dynamic bass response. Thanks to its larger cabinet, the R3 Meta is able to achieve impressive bass depth, with in-room response extending down to nearly 30 Hz in a typical listening space. While it may not possess the midrange resolution of the much more expensive Reference models, the R3 Meta delivers an incredibly balanced and immersive listening experience, making it one of the standout performers in the KEF Meta Reference line. With a sensitivity of 87 dB, it pairs best with a quality amplifier or home theater receiver that can deliver enough current to drive the speaker to its full potential. The R3 Meta comes in multiple attractive finishes including gloss black, gloss white, walnut, and a limited gloss Indigo edition. The matching stands are available in Slate Grey, Mineral White, and Matte Indigo for a sleek, cohesive look that complements any space. Whether used as primary speakers on stands or as surround speakers, the R3 Meta impresses with its performance and design, providing a superior audio experience for a wide range of listeners.
