Features
- 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.

Incredible sound for the money!
I paired it with an Arcam A25+ and an RSL 10s sub, hard to believe you could get a better sound for the money! Took a lot of tweaking (placement, EQ settings on the Wiim streamer and of course took it another level with the sub. This is my stereo system only, no TV for this set up. Can’t say I dislike anything about the speakers, I’ll always own KEF speakers, tried a few others and they don’t compare

Great Speakers!
There is not one thing about these speaker that I don’t like! They sound absolutely fantastic !

Get Them
Simply a great pair of speakers. A/B’d with the Concerto and this was more dynamic and far more treble forward. The concertos were good, but sounded more veiled and too laid back. The bass on these things surprised me. The R3s dig very low and with authority, too. Fully intended on pairing with another sub, but I have been enjoying them a lot without one.

Solid speakers! Quality!
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!

Would buy again
These speakers sound amazing. Using them nearfield at my desk and the clarity and vocal separation is so nice. I have hd800 headphone from Sennheiser for comparison and listening to these speakers gives a very nice sound stage and lived up to the hype. I paired them with a TOPPING D70 Pro SABRE DAC and TOPPING LA90 Discrete NFCA Power Amplifier.

Kef is Top Dog
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.

KEF is AMAZING
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!

Sonic Bliss, endgame speaker?
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.

Disappointed in BB
Best Buy gave me the runaround on this one. First the product showed shipping. After I entered particulars to complete the purchase, website said shipping was not available. Drove close to 100 miles to pick up the KEF 3 Meta. As others have said, the description of refurbished products is unreliable. Marked excellent when I bought it, it was without a box or accessories, even a missing grille(!) and dinged up. Buyer beware! My recommendation to not buy is only for open-box speakers from BB.
