KEF’s Punchy New Q Series Bookshelves Trade Style for Substance

I’m still Meet a pair of KEF speakers that I did not like. The brand tendency to ensure a hard and musical perch, a warm and smooth medium range and a light triple extension cord (9/10, recommends Wireed) among my loved ones in the market. These correct sound features are present again in the new Meta Concerto.

Along with excellent sound, the Q KEF series seeks to give you more for your money, which in the case of a concert are equated with the generosity of drivers. You do not often see the tripartite dynamics of the book shelf at this price, but the concert delivers goods in an effective configuration. You will receive a hefty unforter, a middle -class driver, and in its center, a KEF branded concentric Twiz, which has come off from the best best brands, including HighFalutin R3.

The concert immediately called the R3, from their aesthetics of design to the support of the Meta absorption KEF, aimed at eliminating the unwanted frequencies of the office. The similarity ends there; The sound of the concert (for obvious reasons) cannot approach the high altitude R3, while their vinyl facade feels more than the budget than KEF fans. Nevertheless, this is a great bag for money that offers a competitive sound with an accent for exemplary tonal balance and powerful bass.

Loaded for naked

I was positively frivolous to unpack a new sparkling couple of the last Kef’s book regiments, but my excitement was softened when I released a concert from their foamy houses. Vinyl cabinets (available in black, white and Greztsky) look clean and relatively sharp, but most of the speakers that I tested in their class, and even one step lower, make better. Compared to the chic piano shine, Ultra Evolution SVS (9/10, WireD is recommended) or in the focus of Vestia No1 Funky Leather and Woodgrain Panels, the concert has a more profitable basement atmosphere. Attaching magnetic gratings with simple Jane even more pushes them to square gloom.

In fairness, I think that these are targeted angular abbreviations to invest more in the equipment, and the concert, of course, has it where it matters. Their three packets of drivers to the side include a 6.5-inch hybrid aluminum cone-satufer, a 4-inch aluminum cone driver and a 0.75-inch concentric wave tweeter, a 12th generation hem ).

Drivers intersect at the level of 450 Hz in Basu and 2.9 kHz in high frequencies, with the declared frequency reaction from 48 Hz to 20 kHz (more about this later). Behind drivers there is a technology for absorption of metamaterial Kefa (MAT), which claims that it eliminates “99% of undesirable frequencies.” It is cool to see a technology that has spread to the best speakers of the Hi-Fi brand in accessible models. In addition to MA, most of the undesirable frequencies will probably come from your room for listening, so you still want to consider tips from our guide to audiophilic equipment, such as acoustic panels, which are both effective and relatively affordable.

The concert is quite large for the speakers of the book shelf located 16.3 inches in height, 8.3 inches in width and 12.4 inches, and weighs more than 20 pounds each. You will want to get a solid pair of stands suitable for their significant trace. (KEF will gladly sell you a couple for $ 700, designed for R3.)
