R3 Meta redefines bookshelf speaker’s performance. Sharing the same drivers as the range-topping R11 Meta, the R3 Meta is a true three-way design. It has a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT and a powerful 6.5” hybrid aluminum bass driver that pushes performance to the extreme.
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
A trio of floorstanding speakers and a bookshelf speaker reproduce high-fidelity stereo sound for your favourite music irrespective of the dimensions of the listening space. Each of them will allow you to discover depth and detail in your music you never knew existed.

KEF HAS DONE IT AGAIN.
At first, I was skeptical that this speakers will give me the sound I was after due to it size. After many review and a recommendation from a family member who is into audiophile equipment I decided to purchase these speakers on line. Once it was hooked up, I was not impressed with what my ears is telling me. However, after one day of burning in it blows my mind how it sounds and I began to fall in love with these speakers as time goes on. Definitely impressive for a bookshelf speakers that sound so good that you would never expect such sounds can be accomplished for the size and the price. I cannot stop listening to my music once I turn on my system and it sounds much better after burning in period. Highly recommend to everyone who's searching a great pair of speakers at a great price.

LOUDSPEAKERS, why yes they are!
I liked these speakers so much I bought another pair for a different room. If you are setting up these speakers be aware that for best performance they need to be wired differently, ie bi amped. It just means two separate inputs and two separate wires running to them. Best Buy was at my house to set up a tv and wired them for me so I just copied the method for the second pair. They fit the bill for us because one set is in the living room and when we are cooking like to occasionally turn up the volume, they will get very loud making that large space seem small.
