KEF - S3 Floor Stands - Blue

OK. I simply am not an audiophile, just a guy who tried to buy good and lasting stuff under the 2-year no interest financing available. Got the R3 Metas, which are amazing, and knew I would need mounting, so decided to splurge on these. Awesome decision if I do say so myself! First off, there is an attempt to be...architectural? The art deco-esque striations in the front look classy, not overwrought, and in the little feet make the base kind of "hover" above our tile - neato. Additionally, and this is really kind of hard to see in the pics, the *color* is a match, but not the *finish*. The speakers are an unbelievable glossy Indigo like fine furniture; these are matte. In point of fact, I was kind of getting worked up, watching the Geek Squad guy assemble them (this was a whole TV/7.2.4 install), seeing from my vantage that they were clearly *different* than the speakers. Turns out in no shocker that the KEF Design Department are a lot smarter than I am and it not only looks fantastic but probably keeps them in the game if they switch the finish on the R3's to a matte resembling that on the lovely LS50 Metas. The main functional part is also perfect, as they present the Uni-Q driver in the speaker at perfect listening height when seated. The centers are hollow, so later on if I am industrious I *might* fill them with sand for further stability. So while not inexpensive, I would consider these a must buy. I hope all this helps.

These stands are perfect for these speakers with excellent sound quality, they are very well designed, with all the high quality details and easy to assemble. They will make your speakers shine with beauty and quality.
