KEF - Reference 5 Meta

KEF - Reference 5 Meta  (Pair) The Benchmark of HiFi Speakers The flagship of The Reference Series is the model that all other high-performance loudspeakers compare themselves against. Now with the extraordinarily capable 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™, Reference 5 Meta exemplifies the passion for innovation that underpins KEF’s design philosophy. Detail Remastered. An icon redefined for tomorrow. The essential for any audiophile. Hand built by the masters who set the standard for audio quality, The Reference has been the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. The Reference is an embodiment of KEF’s philosophy and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Now with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™). The Benchmark of Benchmarks Since 1973, The Reference has continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Pioneering the use of digital technologies to achieve the highest audio accuracy, every pair can be matched within 0.5dB to the laboratory-maintained reference standard. Designed, Engineered and Handcrafted in UK Since 1961, we have been creating remarkable award-winning loudspeakers at our UK home in Maidstone, Kent. As our flagship HiFi speakers, The Reference is still being designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Maidstone today. 12th generation Uni-Q® Acts as a single point source to enlarge the 'sweet spot' and disperse sound more evenly. Metamaterial Absorption Technology Absorbs 99% of unwanted sound for pure and natural sound.
