eed them clean power, use a revealing source and watch them go wild on dynamics and spread their wings with live-recordings.

This is a phenomenal speaker

The Reference 5 Meta is very revealing and a strong communicator of a key element of music, it gets to the heart of the performance in a way that makes you want to listen longer, and that is after all the point of a great sound system.

There weren’t many speakers at the time that combined refinement and ferocity in the same way, but the new Reference 5 Meta takes it all up a notch. Not just the price, but the sound.

Reference 3 Meta saves you a lot of money and you still get true high-end sound, almost without limitations.

KEF’s Reference 1 Meta is a superb all-round package that combines excellent sound with clever engineering and impressive build quality
