About the Reference 1 Meta

The KEF Reference 1 Meta is a three-way bookshelf speaker designed to deliver expansive, high-performance sound. It incorporates KEF's 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT, which enhances sound quality by reducing unwanted vibrations. The speaker features a bass reflex design with a 165 mm (6.5 in) aluminum cone bass unit and a crossover frequency of 2.1 kHz for the treble/bass-mid transition and 450 Hz for the bass-mid to bass transition. It measures 205 mm wide, 440 mm high, and 422 mm deep, weighing 18.2 kg. The Reference 1 Meta is praised for its balanced, refined yet musical performance, fine stereo imaging, and impressive bass power. However, it requires an amplifier with sufficient power and dedicated stands for optimal performance.
