Customer Ratings & Reviews

The KEF Concerto META bookshelf loudspeaker is truly a great value and it sounds wonderful. I knew when buying this speaker I would cross it over at 80 Hertz to an SVS 2000 pro subwoofer to cover the low notes. This speaker can play down to about 40 Hertz without a sub, but I chose to cross it over to keep it from trying to reproduce low notes. When I did that the lower mid range became a little bit more clean. With an 80 HZ crossover the speaker still sounds natural and full. The speaker sound is really smooth without any jagged edges in the upper mid range and treble. This is not a forward sounding speaker, just smooth. You can actually stand up and walk around the room and everything sounds about the same without the sound stage shifting from one side to other. When standing up or sitting down, the soundstage stays the same. Great. Just make sure your speaker stands are the proper height to bring the tweeter and mid-range up to your ear height. Also make sure you have a proper amp to drive a 4-ohm load of the speaker. The speaker's sensitivity is on the low side but a proper amp will remedy that. The speaker will sound dynamic but still smooth and clear. With the speaker grills on, the sound is slightly muffled. Please remove them for critical listening. When not listening to music the grills look great on the speakers. If you're in the mood to purchase a new set of speakers please consider these because they are a great value and sounds wonderful.

Beautiful speaker! Price was great. I like the low end of the bass the best. Good sound. Lacks the detail of the ls50 meta and r3. Struggled with a 40w tube amp but started performing well with the +100w nad c399. I found this difficult to place this speaker in my listening room. Had to be approx 24 inches off my wall to produce that liw bass. I ended up sending them back and keeping the ls50 with sub. If your looking for an endgame speaker, splurge for the R3.

Exceeded my expectations. Clean, crisp and specially deep bass reproduction.

Easily the best speakers in this price range. I initially ordered the Q7 Meta, but I got this early so I decided to try it. Its perfect for the room of my size, and looks great on stands. I have complemented it with SB2000 pro and its a perfect combination in place of towers

The KEF Q Series Concerto Meta really surprised me. Coming from the R3 Metas, I can say these hold their own in many areas—clear mids, solid bass, and great imaging. While they don’t match the absolute refinement and detail of the R3s, they come impressively close at a much lower price. If you're willing to compromise a bit on high-end precision, these are hands down the best value-for-money speakers in KEF’s lineup. They sound way bigger than they look and pair nicely with my Denon X3800H. The only downside for me is the finish—the color and texture just didn’t do it for me visually. But once they’re playing, that’s easy to overlook. Highly recommended if you're looking for near-R3 performance without the R3 price tag

Noticeable upgrade from my smaller bookshelf speakers. Much better low end! Driving them with an average AVR and I haven’t noticed any issues.

I tried several others but these are the best without spending a fortune. Clear, crisp sound with good highs which is what I was looking for without losing the bass.

Excellent, great sound quality, nice bass sound, very enjoyable

Great sound! Excellent base! I have these paired with a Yamaha Rn1000a. Very wide sound stage.

disappointed came damaged and liked my klipse better

Love these, wish the had better highs though. Using with a Rotel A12 original. Maybe my burn-in is not complete. Purchased them box for an absolute steal.
