Description Freakuence!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Beautiful columns from the beautiful R line. Sound great and refined! Voices are very direct and convincing in the foreground, with drums placed behind them, for example. Doing them nicely, set a good stage in front of you. They provide a neutral and transparent sound, with a wide sweet spot and controlled bass. <\/span><\/div>\n
Retail price: 2600.00<\/span><\/div>\n

General description<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The KEF R5 is a slim floorstanding loudspeaker that comes into its own in both stereo setups and home theater systems. Thanks to the 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), the R5 delivers clear and precise sound. The two 5.25-inch hybrid aluminum bass drivers provide tight and controlled bass. The design is elegant and fits a variety of interiors.<\/span><\/div>\n
Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The KEF R3 Meta is designed according to KEF’s acoustic philosophy: clear, accurate sound with minimal distortion. The speaker features the latest Uni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), which absorbs unwanted resonances up to 99%. The cabinet is reinforced with Constrained Layer Damping for reduced vibration. Developed by KEF’s acoustics team led by Jack Oclee-Brown. <\/span><\/div>\n
Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
KEF was founded in 1961 in Maidstone, Kent, by former BBC ringmaster Raymond Cooke. The name is derived from Kent Engineering & Foundry, the site on which its first headquarters was located. In its early years, the company developed products using synthetic materials and mathematical models. KEF introduced the Reference concept in 1973, where each pair of systems was electronically matched. In the 1980s, KEF used digital technologies to optimize production. In 1988, the first computer-aided acoustic measurement system was used. Uni-Q driver technology was introduced in 1988 and has been used in several models since then. KEF has had collaborations with outside designers, including Ross Lovegrove. In 2011, the Blade, the first model based on the concept of a single point source, was released. KEF has offices worldwide, including Hong Kong, Germany, France, Japan and the US. Its headquarters and acoustic research department are in Maidstone. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
