Customer Reviews
I purchased a pair of Reference 1 Metas nearly a year ago. They have been outstanding and completely exceeded my expectations. It really is a British sound; exceptionally balanced and revealing. The top driver with Uni-Q tweeter provides crystal clear middle and upper range frequency, whilst the bass driver provides plenty of heft. I ordered directly from Kef USA and they were delivered by a special courier, who knew what he was handling and was very careful. (Top tip: The speakers come in bespoke, protective packaging so watch a YouTube video on how to unbox before they arrive)
The sound that emanates from these is as close to being in the recording studio or concert hall as one could get via recorded sounds. IF GOD SPOKE - THESE ARE THE SPEAKERS HE WOULD USE TO BROADCAST HIS VOICE. Why? Because they are absolutely stellar. Never in my dreams did I think I would ever acquire a pair of new KEF Reference speakers, Meta editions at that! I have the original LS50 (pre-Meta) and I always found their sound to be superior & brilliant, no matter the amp pairing. However they were a tad soft in the lower frequencies. These speakers don't just make up for that, they make the LS50's sound like a pair of old headphones that have gone through the washing machine. Simply stunning. Clairity I have NEVER heard in any speaker in my life.
I chose the high-gloss white and blue with the black stand. A gorgeous pairing.
Every aspect of these speakers is stunning. The finite details and its loud color choices are the icing on the cake. I recommend these to any and everyone. Save up. Take out a line of credit. Do what you have to do because these are the closest we will ever get to hearing GOD!
