KEF R3

These superb standmounters set the standard at this price

Part of KEF's premium R series, the R3 offer a large chunk of the mighty, top-of-the-range Reference 1’s engineering content and sonic performance at a fraction of those speakers' £5000 cost.

KEF’s distinctive Uni-Q driver array has the tweeter positioned right in the throat of the midrange driver; such a configuration is claimed to improve dispersion and integration. It uses a 25mm aluminium-dome tweeter with a 12.5cm aluminium midrange unit and features a host of detail refinements to the motor assembly, suspension and drive-unit structure to reduce distortion and improve performance over earlier versions.
