Features

  • Tweeter

    Refined tweeter gap damper tames resonances for improved detail.

  • Superior Sound

    The Uni-Q driver array has been redesigned to maximise the performance improvements that MAT delivers. The conical waveguide that couples the tweeter dome to the metamaterial absorber has been specially designed for the bespoke driver based on its depth.

  • Shadow Flare

    Feature designed for The Reference. Reduces harmful cabinet diffraction, allowing the 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT to work to its potential.

  • Performance

    Powerful drivers can easily cause the cabinet walls to make noise of their own

  • Suggestion

    A trio of floorstanding speakers and a bookshelf speaker reproduce high-fidelity stereo sound for your favourite music irrespective of the dimensions of the listening space. Each of them will allow you to discover depth and detail in your music you never knew existed.

    LOUDSPEAKERS, why yes they are!

    I liked these speakers so much I bought another pair for a different room. If you are setting up these speakers be aware that for best performance they need to be wired differently, ie bi amped. It just means two separate inputs and two separate wires running to them. Best Buy was at my house to set up a tv and wired them for me so I just copied the method for the second pair. They fit the bill for us because one set is in the living room and when we are cooking like to occasionally turn up the volume, they will get very loud making that large space seem small.

    Awesome speakers

    Very pleased with the Kef R3 Meta. Exceptional clarity. Bass is surprisedly good for a bookshelf speakers. I do add a small subwoofer which complete all low frequencies. Remind to put these speakers on a speaker stands. They sound much better when at ear level. They are endgame for me in terms of front speakers. I use them mainly for listening to music. Highly recommend them.
