KEF R7 Meta Review by Steve Guttenberg

Published: February 27, 2023

One of our favorite Youtube reviewer, Steve Guttenberg aka Audiophiliac released an in-depth review of the recently introduced KEF R7 Meta that we have written about few days ago.

Steve concluded that the R7 META is a neutral and big sounding loudspeaker with stunning fit and finish that feels like a 'high-end' speaker. He also compared the R7 META to another recent KEF model, KEF Reference 3 Meta which sells for $15,000/pair, three times the price of the R7's $5000/pair selling price!

Watch Audiophiliac's review below for all the details:

Here are the main features of the KEF R7 META and a comparison with the KEF Reference 3 META loudspeaker (Detailed Comparison) followed by a scaled size comparison of the two:
