HiFi Speakers

I invested in a pair of floor standers 18months ago, granted they were £1,199 but they were regarded as leaders in their price bracket. I listen to a wide range of music including dance and although the trebles and mids were very impressive, I always felt the bass was hugely lacking. Cut a long story short I decided my current speakers were not right for my taste in music. By sheer chance KEF released the R11 Meta the week before I started looking. Admittedly, I was sucked in by their marketing and decided to take the jump. Straight off their customer service called me to arrange a swift delivery. They arrived a couple of days later, packaged up very well, they were quick to assemble and before long I was ready to turn on my system and see what the heck all the fuss was about. Well, I’ve never, ever heard both a speaker that sounds like you’re in a top notch London night club coupled with incredible balance and clarity. I listened to about 4hrs straight of music which I haven’t done since I was in my 20’s (now mid-40’s). I put on albums I know backwards and heard and felt things I’ve never heard before. On one track the rhythm changed completely because of a subtle sound I’d never heard before in the percussion. I’ve now played all sorts of different music on them and it doesn’t matter what you throw at them, the reproduction of sound is pure wizardry. Even my wife who really doesn’t have an ear or care for my tech chat said they sounded incredible whilst chilling near a speaker one Sunday afternoon. I can’t wax lyrical anymore about these speakers. They’re an investment don’t get me wrong, but if you’re music mad, these are just about as good as it gets.
