KEF Q META Series Loudspeakers
With the new Q META series, KEF updated its affordable Q series range of loudspeakers. The new line uses the 12th generation Uni-Q drivers, and prices range from $599 to $2,199 (pair). One of the biggest changes is that the Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), which eliminates 99% of high-frequency distortion, delivering pure and natural sound, previously featured in KEF's high-end speaker lines, is now integrated into the Q Meta Series.
