KEF Reference 1 Meta 5" High Gloss White/Champagne Bookshelf Speaker

Product Overview

The Benchmark of Benchmarks

Since 1973, The Reference has continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Pioneering the use of digital technologies to achieve the highest audio accuracy, every pair can be matched within 0.5dB to the laboratory-maintained reference standard.

Always Innovating
