Designed to match any R Series floorstanding speakers, the R2 Meta boasts the 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT and two 5.25” hybrid aluminum bass drivers. It is compact enough to use in smaller rooms while being capable of high-quality sound with even the dynamic music and movies. This design is versatile and can be used in an LCR (Left-Centre-Right) configuration.
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
The two centre speakers can also be used in LCR configuration. Identically sized Uni-Q arrays are deployed on the centre speakers and all other models in the series. This creates a consistent sound character.

Surprising!
This is well on its way to being a surprise MVP in our recent upgrade. We purchased this in hopes that it would be well matched to our equally new R3 Metas. We did very very well in this regard. I would recommend this speaker to *anyone* given its clarity (consider the intended use and importance in dialogue, particularly, with movies). I'm a know-nothing with regard to audiophile terms and equipment, of course, but I *think* that the KEF Uni-Q driver serves it very well here. I would therefore caution anyone planning its purchase to mount it carefully to height - as I did, exhaustingly, both to listener and with the R3's we got - or to take time to aim it well. I am a slightly hearing impaired veteran and this is opening up the front soundstage again for me. I'm just not sure what higher regard or qualification to hand to you for this speaker: it is making things clear again. I'm just not sure how much it's involved musically as I have not been playing SACD, DVD-A or similar sources yet. But for the primary function of a Center channel speaker, this R2 absolutely excels.
