KEF Q Concerto Meta - Premium Sound, Compact Design

Finding high-quality three-way bookshelf speakers at an accessible price is rare, but KEF's Q Concerto Metas deliver in spades. These stunning speakers combine KEF's renowned Uni-Q driver array with a newly engineered bass driver, offering an entirely revamped design. Packed with advanced driver and sound absorption technology, the Concerto Metas provide stunning performance as standalone speaker or as part of a multi-channel home theatre setup.

Enhanced Uni-Q Driver Array for Superior Clarity

The Concerto Metas feature KEF's 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, which positions the tweeter at the centre of the midrange cone. This innovative layout ensures high and midrange frequencies emanate from a single point, expanding the "sweet spot" and distributing sound evenly across your space.

The midrange driver incorporates KEF's Flexible Decoupling Chassis, a technology borrowed from their high-end Blade and Reference series. This design isolates the midrange motor from the Uni-Q array to eliminate coloration and cabinet vibrations, preserving sound purity.

State-of-the-Art Woofer for Deep, Accurate Bass

Beneath the Uni-Q array lies a 6.5-inch hybrid aluminium bass driver, designed for precision and speed. Made from a lightweight paper cone reinforced with a concave aluminium layer, this driver achieves exceptional rigidity and low distortion. The result is bass that's impressively deep, detailed, and accurate.

With these cutting-edge advancements, the KEF Q Concerto Metas raise the performance bar for a bookshelf speaker in this price range, offering unmatched performance and versatility for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

Package includes a Free 3m pair of pre-terminated QED XT25 speaker cables (see below)
