Product description
The three-way stand-mount of KEF's Reference Meta line, hand-built in Maidstone: the 12th-gen Uni-Q array (25 mm MAT tweeter in a 125 mm aluminium midrange) with a 165 mm all-aluminium woofer in a switchable-port cabinet, each pair calibrated within 0.5 dB of the lab reference. It's a true reference stand-mount for a treated room and serious amplification, where the last degree of accuracy is the goal.
