Overview

For a breathtaking listening experience, the R11 Meta is the R Series flagship floorstander. In a three-way design, it boasts a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT, along with four 165mm (6.5 in) hybrid aluminum bass drivers, allowing it to dig deep into the sound and retrieve an exceptionally clean performance with supremely natural midrange and treble.

All items are tested for functionality and have all required cables in the box unless otherwise noted. There is a small black mark on the smallest/lowest woofer. It is not noticable if the grill is attached.

The High Notes

Born From KEF Reference

KEF has taken a whole lot of the great technology in their much more expensive Reference Meta speakers and included it in the new R Series Meta with amazing results.

12th Generation Uni-Q

The Uni-Q driver, which has the tweeter and midrange effectively in the same assembly gives you a far wider sweet spot and more accurate sound than you could imagine.

A Best of a Tower

At over 80 pounds, the R11 Meta is one serious tower speaker with its 4 Hybrid Aluminum cone woofers and 12th gen Uni-Q. These do require some space around them to open up, but wow, can they rock!

There are three tower speakers in the new line, the R11 Meta, R7 Meta, and R5 Meta.

The choice between these three will depend on the size of your room and budget. What is great about all three is that the midrange and treble sounds virtually identical on all of them, but there are some big differences in the bottom end output.

KEF R11 Meta

The R11 Meta, at a whopping 80 pounds per speaker is a beast! The 4 6 ½” woofers give it much more bottom end, but it does come at a price of needing careful set up. These will interact with the room a lot more than the R7 Meta, meaning you will need some space around them if you really want to hear what they are capable of. We see these being used in a large family room or bonus room. You would certainly not want to try them in a 10’ by 12’ office as they would just overpower the room.

One of the first speakers in this line we got in to check out was the R11. The first cut we tried from Crosby Nash is one we use a lot, called Lay Me Down. When the system is right, this track has a huge soundstage with a liquid midrange. The R11 blew us away with the size of the soundstage, the dynamics it could portray, and how neutral and revealing they were. After hearing these, we felt like they should call this new line Reference Lite!
