KEF R3 Meta 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers in Black Gloss - SP4053B1AA
KEF R3 Meta 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers in Black Gloss - SP4053B1AA
Bring the latest take on expansive, high-quality sound home with the KEF R3 Meta bookshelf speakers. This shining black speaker pair is crafted with some of the brand's signature tech, like the unbeatable Uni-Q® driver array. The 12th-generation iteration of the Uni-Q system layers the KEF R3 Meta speakers' tweeters over the acoustic sweet spot of the bass and midrange cones. The result is a speaker system with no one "sweet spot" where listeners have to sit to hear the best of their music. The KEF R3 Meta bookshelf speakers expand the sweet spot, letting everyone in on the beauty of modern music so they can all hear great lows, authentic mids and highs that fly.
An Unbelievable Build
You wouldn't expect bookshelf speakers of this size to bring the booming sound they do, but the KEF R3 Meta speakers are designed a little differently. Each is crafted with the same 3-way design found in the incredible R11 Meta floorstanding speakers often chosen for creating true high-fidelity audio. KEF hasn't stopped there with design elements crafted to make your music sound its best, either. These bookshelf speakers are crafted with Metamaterial Absorption Technology, or MATTM. With MATTM, audio distortion often found at higher frequencies is filtered away—leaving you and the KEF R3 Meta speakers with distortion-free playlists.
Go Solo or Craft A New Sound System
The KEF R3 Meta bookshelf speakers are an incredible sound system unto themselves, bringing great audio to any space you place them in. But do you want them to stay on their own, or create a sound system surrounding these unbeatable audio elements? Why not pair these two KEF R3 Meta speakers with a dedicated subwoofer, floorstanding models and more AV equipment to enjoy a space dedicated to your favorite music? Starting with bookshelf speakers like this pair is always a good idea. If these are right for you, order yours online or call us at 800-860-3577.
