KEF Q1 META BOOKSHELF LOUDSPEAKERS - PAIR
The compact two-way KEF Q1 META bookshelf loudspeakers centre around a two-way UniQ array comprising of a 5.25" aluminium mid/bass driver and a 25mm aluminium HF unit, producing excellent imaging and smooth off axis response, and acting as an "apparent point source" loudspeaker.
Available in Black, White, or Walnut finishes.
Compact 2-way bookshelf speaker
The compact Q1 Meta HiFi speaker punches above its size, refusing to compromise your listening enjoyment. Like all new Q Series speakers it features a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array and Metamaterial Absorption Technology. The Q1 Meta is the ultimate entry-level speaker for those looking to build their first HiFi sound system.
Sit anywhere, hear every detail
Uni-Q technology places the tweeter precisely at the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, so both act together as a single point source to disperse sound more evenly throughout the room. The result is the elimination of the limited ‘sweet spot’, therefore allowing everybody sitting at different spots in the room to experience and enjoy the same natural, detailed sound.
Created to eliminate 99%
Metamaterials are specially developed structures that use existing materials in such a way that they exhibit new properties. MAT’s tuned channels absorb 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of driver, compared to around 60% absorption from loudspeakers using different approaches.
Single source. Coherent sound.
Single Apparent Source technology aims to achieve the acoustic ideal of a point source, where low, mid and high frequencies radiate from one point. Perfectly calibrated drivers that cover the entire bandwidth of the loudspeaker are configured so that all frequencies appear to radiate from one single point. The result is noticeably more precise imaging and highly accurate sound across a wider area.

We try and keep on top of our pricing, but it's a mammoth task for one person. So, if you see this product offered cheaper elsewhere, or you are offered it for less elsewhere (proof will be required) and you feel like supporting an extremely independent retailer, do get in touch and we will do our very best to match or beat wherever we can. We can't promise to do so, as there may some extenuating circumstances where we just wouldn't be able to, but we'll always do what we can.
Needs to be like for like - new for new, ex-demo for ex-demo, same colour and specs etc.
