DESCRIPTION

Slim, Elegant, and Exceptionally Capable

The R5 Meta is the compact floorstander in KEF’s acclaimed R Series  but don’t let its size fool you. This beautifully engineered three‑way loudspeaker delivers highly detailed sound, deep clean bass, and wide dispersion, making it ideal for both premium stereo setups and immersive home theatre systems.

At its core is KEF’s 12th‑generation Uni‑Q® driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™), supported by two 5.25‑inch hybrid aluminium bass drivers that deliver tight, controlled low‑frequency performance.

The result is a speaker that sounds far larger than it looks, with refinement and authority that elevate any listening space.


An Icon Born from The Reference

The R5 Meta inherits several acoustic innovations from KEF’s flagship Reference Series:

  • Advanced driver geometry
  • Optimized cabinet bracing
  • High‑precision crossover design

These technologies combine to deliver a sound that is natural, open, and effortlessly detailed.
