Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing bookshelf speakers. Pair them with a quality AVR and these sing! The sound stage is huge and the sound is very neutral. Not bright like the Bowers & Wilkins. The vocal sounds amazing. The texture is the artist's voice is maintained. Overall a beautiful piece. Highly recommend them over anything else. These perform better than speakers twice their price.

Great sounding speakers with really good base response.

Beautiful sounding and looking. Great value for the price.

These speakers are phenomenal! At the price purchased, they were a steal and no-brained to pick up. The clarity, quality and build were to be expected. The R3’s sound great as-is, but I did pick up a sub to further enhance the mid sound. Must buy if you can find them marked down.

If money is no object and you like KEF because of their clarity, obviously get new metas or the reference speakers. But these speakers are no slouch and are bargains for the clarity and quality. Old high quality speakers are far better than new low quality speakers.

These speakers are very high end. Build quality and sound top notch. The better the quality of music recording the better the sound. Pricey but if thats your way of moving around when it comes to high quality sound equipment you understand.

Very great sounding speakers. Very realistic soundstage. Excellent imaging. Bass is good for a small bookshelf speaker. Fit and finish is excellent. Packing is extremely well done.

Happy with the KEF R3 speakers performance. Detailed sounding speakers, paired very well with the Cambridge Audio EVO 150 all-in-one system. Would recommend it to any audiophile listener.

Clear, crisp sound that fills the room. As advertised. Great as a stereo pair or as part of a home theater system.

Great for a LCR array. Unfortunately they only sell in pairs. Great value for the closeout prices.

great sounding could not have made a better decision.

These small bookshelves size R-series speakers aren't just capable, but also present with a solid white gloss casing. The Uni-Q speaker design offers highly precise clear and powerful sounds that are very accurate. These speakers couple very well for Home Theater usage and/or Vocal References presented with dense musical representations.

These really show evey detail good or bad of your amplifier

Bass on these speakers are so good and the clarity is next level. Highly recommend it

Bought used-like new and came with a scuff on the paint. The speakers themselves are amazing and I highly recommend them based on the sound and overall looks

Excellent sounding speakers. Wotks great with my vintage audio system. Highly reccomend!

I am happy with this purchase. These speakers have exceed my expectations

These were not at all what I was expecting. They’re a great speaker, but I didn’t like them so I took them back. Fit and finish was great, nicely packaged, nice binging posts (note you have to take the lug completely off to remove the plastic plugs to use bananas). They a sort of a bright, detail focused speaker. Timbre and tone is great through the low mids on up. I had trouble getting good pitch definition from the bass no matter how they were placed or if the port plugs were in. I ran mine with a Yamaha as2200, which is a great amp, but perhaps these would do better with something class D or just higher power. If you’re into micro dynamics and a foreword, analytical sound, you may very well like these speakers. With my amp they weren’t punchy enough. Oh, let me add that these image outstandingly well. Not the biggest soundstage, but instrument placement and a strong phantom center are easily achieved without messing too much with placement. I’d recommended them at the sale price of 1700 or so provided you like a certain sound, but 2200 is a stretch. I think these really need a sub to shine. And, while a sub might add extension, I’m not sure if a sub would fill in for the punch these speakers are missing in the frequencies they do cover. Luckily, exchanging them was super easy and I’ll try something else.

I love the incredibly present soundstage from the KEF R3’s. Brilliant treble, but not too bright. Robust midrange that’s never muddied or hidden in the overall sound. The bass sounds perfectly deep in spite of the compact size of these bookshelf speakers. Highly recommended!

Quite a few scratches and depressions in the drivers. Probably not the same condition that was stated
