I still haven't Meet a pair of kef speakers that I don't like. The brand tends to provide rigid bass and music, a warm and smooth average extension, and the extension easily keeps wireless models like LS50 (9/10, wired recommended) and LSX (9/10, wired recommended) and wired meta (9/10, wired recommended) Among my favorite items in the market. These reliable audio characteristics are available again in the new Concerto meta.
Along with the excellent sound, KEF's -q -q q is aimed at providing you with more money for your money, in the case of the concerto version equivalent to the bonus of the drivers. You do not often see three dimensions bookshelf At this price, but the Concerto supplies goods in an effective configuration. You will receive a huge bass speaker, a medium -range drivers above and in its center, the typical concentric tweeter of KEF has been destroyed from the best number of the brand, including Highfalutin R3 .
The Concerto version immediately evokes R3, from their design aesthetics to support KEF Meta's absorption technology, in order to remove unwanted cabinet frequencies. The similarities ended there; The sound of the Concerto (can be understood) cannot reach the height of R3, while their vinyl facade feels more budget than KEF fans can expect. However, this is a great package for money, providing sound competition with the focus is the balance of sample and strong bass.

I was very active when I opened the box of KEF's latest book, but my excitement was trained when I had a concerto from their foam home. The vinyl cabinets (black, white and walnuts are available) looks clean and relatively sharp, but most of the speakers I have tested in their class and even one step below do better. Compared to SVS's Ultra Evolution's piano piano piano (9/10, wired recommended) or Waste point number 1 Funny leather and wood, the concerto has a more basement vibe. Attach the magnetic grille simpler to push them towards the darkness of the box.

To be fair, I think these are the cuts in the corner with the purpose to invest more in the hardware, and the Concerto is definitely it in the place where it is calculated. The three drivers of each of each side include 6.5 -inch aluminum aluminum speakers, mid -range drivers of 4 -inch aluminum and tweeters of concentric wave guides. Uni-Q design (Set the QQ part in a series Q).
The drivers pass 450 Hz in bass and 2.9 kHz in treble, with frequency response required from 48 Hz to 20 KHz (more later). Behind the drivers is KEF Supermacking technology (mat)In which, the statement removes 99% unwanted frequency. It is great to see that the technology has spread on the brand's leading hi-fi speaker in accessible models. Ma aside, most unwanted frequencies may come from your listening room, so you still want to consider the tips from Audiophile manual alike Audio boardBoth are effective and relatively affordable.
The concerto is quite large for bookshelves, 16.3 inch high, 8.3 inches and 12.4 inch deep and weighing more than 20 pounds each. You will want to make sure a solid pair of stance is suitable for their quite large footprints. (KEF will happily sell you one Pair $ 700 Designed for R3.)
