KEF Reference 3 

The KEF Reference 3 Meta Floorstanding Speakers are a pinnacle of audio engineering, offering a three-way bass reflex design that combines sophistication with powerful performance. The speaker features a meticulously crafted array of drive units, including a 25mm aluminum dome with MAT technology for the high frequencies, a 125mm aluminum cone for mid frequencies, and dual 165mm aluminum cones for the low frequencies. With a frequency range spanning from 38Hz to 45kHz in free field conditions, and a typical in-room bass response reaching an impressive 28Hz, these speakers deliver a full and immersive audio experience. The crossover frequency at 450 Hz and 2.1 kHz ensures seamless integration between drivers. With an amplifier requirement of 50 – 300W, a sensitivity of 86dB, and minimal harmonic distortion across various frequencies, these speakers maintain clarity even at high volumes. The impressive maximum output of 113.5dB further underscores their capability. Whether reproducing the delicate details of a violin or the thunderous beats of a bass drum, the KEF Reference 3 Meta stands as a testament to precision, power, and audio excellence.
