Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely love my KEF R3 Meta in walnut – the finish is gorgeous and oozes premium quality. The sound is incredibly detailed and balanced, with vocals and instruments sounding lifelike. Bass is tight and clean, though I paired it with a sub for a fuller low-end. Build quality is top-notch – these feel like they’ll last forever. Totally worth the investment – they transformed my listening experience.

I am on my third paid now and i have them all over the house. My absolute favorite bookshelf speakers.

KEF hasn’t failed me yet. Such beautiful looking and sounding speakers. They sound great with my Sony STR AZ5000ES, and I totally recommend. They simply disappear leaving you with a room filled with music. The agility of these speakers are amazing, and although they do sound great alone, I do recommend a subwoofer if you want to feel a little bit more bass and give these speakers more room to perform at the top end. I currently have them paired with a KC62 and they simply sound GREAT!

Clean and crisp with nice base. Very well made with fixed bi-wiring terminals (Not using them bi-wired, not needed). No fatigue listening to these. Love them!

These are the best bookshelf speakers I have ever heard, especially for the money. They sounded way better than the Bowers and Wilkins competitive version.

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.

Love these speakers they’re awesome. Sound great my music room.!!

My opinion is that Kef is currently one of the best speakers in their price position. For an even better experience with them attach them to their stands and you'd be hard pressed to find any better unless spending thousands more.

Did a lot of research to make this choice. I have a small-ish space and wanted speakers that were detailed but not cold, bright, or fatiguing. I got what I was looking for - detailed, balanced, really a joy to listen to. Tough speaker to beat in this price range.

Beautiful speakers. Excellent finished. Sound clear, need a good amplifier to show up. Good for small or medium room.

Excellent sounding 3-way book shelf speakers. I have a small home office and was looking for a full range book shelf speakers due to minimum space. These are perfect for that application. Speakers have a wide forgiving soundstage with really smooth base response. The speakers are placement forgiving and sound outstanding in less that ideal room conditions. The speaker fit nicely on top of the B&W speaker stands which are much cheaper that the KEF stands. Speakers are paired with: Cambridge CXA81 Amp Cambridge CXC CD Transport Music Hall pa2.2 phono pre-amp Music Hall MMF 5.1 SE with Ortofon Orange MM

Best speakers I've ever owned. Period. I purchased a pair of Concerto Metas previously but I really I really wanted these, exceptional open box purchase so I saved quite a bit. I have them powered by my trusty Rotel A12 in a two channel stereo setup. Loving what I'm hearing.

Great speakers never had KEF speakers I was amazed how great they sound when I got them home.

Excellent speakers at $2,200. Treble is very good, mids are clear and precise. Bass is decent. Imaging it's is strongest attribute. Worth the money. Paired with a sub and a power neutral amp and you will be satisfied.

Great speakers even for a large room. Paired with Marantz 40n Amplifier. Like listening in 3D.

The sound is remarkable very much so sounds great any one will so enjoy

Incredibly beautifully sounding speakers with a great soundstage, handling highs, mids and lows with ease. Would highly recommend. My only suggestion would be that Kef provide a pair of Cotten gloves with these as fingerprints are an issue on the gloss finish.

Absolutely incredible speakers! A must for any serious audiophile!!

Amazing bookshelf speakers. If you like the KEF sound you will love these. Do really well in a small room. The mids and highs are just breathtaking. Might need to add a quality subwoofer, especially for medium to large size rooms.

Very good sounding speakers for audio. Very strange echo for anything voices in movies. It was an open box and there might have been something off about them, hard to tell.
