Description

Description Freakuence!
The midrange and high frequencies are reproduced clearly, without one overpowering the other. The design is geared toward refinement, allowing details to come through clearly. Vocals are smooth and in the foreground. Even a party (every now and then) is no problem with the R5 Meta. Enjoy!
Retail price: 3,600.00

Trade show demo from importer. Trade show models have barely any running hours, or no running hours at all (not all products can be on at the same time in a trade show booth), are taken out of the box, displayed and then often sent directly to our shop. With the full official factory warranty!

The material for the units is less common, because of this, people tend to feel (weird people, those audio enthusiasts), so dents frequently appear in the units, as with this one (see photos). Play perfectly!

General description
The slim and elegant speaker is compact but delivers highly detailed sound and deep, clean bass. It features the 12th generation Uni-Q driver system with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) and two 13 cm hybrid aluminum bass drivers. MAT absorbs 99% of unwanted noise for pure and natural sound. The hybrid aluminum bass drivers with extended excursion provide tight, deep and controlled bass. The 12th generation Uni-Q system acts as a single point source to increase the sweet spot and distribute sound more evenly. The speaker can be used as a stereo pair or as a surround speaker within an ultimate R Series home theater system. The special microfiber front panels have 1801 precision-cut holes for each driver, ensuring performance even when the drivers are covered.

The company has built a reputation for using advanced techniques and materials. Over the years, KEF has filed numerous patent applications and introduced innovative technologies, such as the Uni-Q cartridge, which combines coaxial speaker drivers. To this day, the company remains active in designing high-quality audio solutions and has received numerous awards for its products. KEF continues its tradition of technological innovation and remains internationally recognized as an influential name in its field.

Reviews & awards | KEF R5 meta

What Hi-Fi?

They rate the KEF R5 as an impressive floor-standing speaker with refined performance. They praise its impressive engineering, its rich and refined sound, as well as its excellent detail and seamless integration. The speakers deliver a powerful and commanding sound, with a solid stereo image and a well-balanced tonal character. They perform well with both high-end and more modest electronics.

HiFiReport

highlights the KEF R5 Meta’s remarkable bass performance, despite its compact drivers. When playing a variety of music tracks, the R5 Meta produces deep bass down to 31 Hz, which is impressive for its size. The speakers are very neutral and clearly reveal the differences between various amplifiers and cables. It is important to choose the right amplifier and cables to realize the full potential of the R5 Meta.

Frieve Audio Review

notes that the KEF R5 Meta offers the same outstanding technology as the R3 Meta in a floor-standing design. Although its performance is excellent on its own, they suggest that pairing the R3 Meta with a subwoofer may be a more flexible and cost-effective option.

HiFi.co.uk

describes the KEF R5 Meta as a sleek floorstanding speaker with style. They praise its wide soundstage with excellent imaging, surprisingly deep bass response, good detail and dynamics, as well as its beautiful finish and solid build quality. They note that the speakers benefit from a good amplifier match and that, despite its slim design, it is still a substantial speaker.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
