R3 Meta (White Gloss, Pair)

Superb speakers, but if you have the LS-50 Meta, not a huge upgrade. They do look much nicer, but not a best value for double the price. Amazon seller is an authorized KEF dealer - make sure you check that on KEF's site before you buy. It was on sale which is hard to find on this brand/model.

And that better speaker is the Reference 1. I own LS50 Metas, had them for a year. Thought the R3 Meta would be the same but with more bass. No, it's better in every way, and the 50s were already amazing. There are no words to describe the in real life sound (you won't hear it in YouTube no matter how nice your earbuds, its just not possible), other than sheer perfection, sublime ultra refined highs that are soooo smooth. Upright bass? You can hear the eczema on the players fingers.. ultra resolution with a very very exciting and thrilling presentation. They are also beautiful! Pics are no justice. And BUY the stands. They are expensive but the speaker *bolts into* the stands. That kind of rigidity, on top of filling with sand, comes in very very expensive speakers and you get that here with the stands. Tightens everything up, look amazing. I have the Indigo Blue with the white stands and it looks very nautical! Very yacht racer, very high end. I am a kef customer for life now. Have 10 other pairs of speakers: Magnepans, Miller and Kreisels, CSS 1TDX Superior, but nothing beats these with the Kef stands. Orchard Audio Ganfet monoblocks, Gustard X26Pro Dac, Topping Pre 90, Schiit Lokius EQ (they need EQ in my room), and 2 RSL Speedwoofer 10s. Heaven!

I am an audiophile who chases (read spends $$) the next level of sound quality, imaging, holography and depth of sound field. The KEF R3 Meta's are a raging bargain. They are extremely well built, supper fast and tight bass, deep midrange, and shimmering highs. Not harsh but powerful. These are part of a higher end system, Audirvana overlaid from HD Tidal, RME ADI-2 DAC FS, Peachtree Carina 150, SVS PB4000 sub with Kimber Kables 8TC cabling and Blue Jean LC1 sub cables. This is my office set up. If I have to work I am working in pure audiophile bliss. These KEFs are phenomenal. Don't second guess, just get them. Once your wife hears them, she will forgive you.

Great looking speakers Sounds amazing

These really are great speakers. I demo-ed them once in a story and liked them but wasn't certain so I bought these here and bought another pair of speakers for about the same price so I could side-by-side test them. It was close but the clarity and imaging of these speakers won me over.

i have LS50 wireless and loved it. i wanted something more audiophile grade and the KEF R3 sounds even better. I coupled them with Cambridge audio CXA81 MKii and they just sound incredible. The clarity and sound stage are amazing. they sound bigger and more immersive than LS50. I'm glad I got this setup instead of LS60 which was the other option i considered.

Driven with NAD M33

After spending significant research time, I chose the R3 metas and glad I did. The sound is frequency balanced and relatively precise. Good sound stage. I listen to jazz, rock & classical: all sound great. The only negative is that, as bookshelf speakers, they benefit from a subwoofer, especially for bass lovers like me.
