KEF R300 Standmount Speaker – Walnut

A nice pair of bookshelf/standmount loudspeakers from British experts KEF. These are the R300 speakers and feature their distinctive Uni-Q arrangement. Generally, very good condition, noting the small blemish on the right hand side of one speaker, from the grille. They come in original factory packing with grilles and as always, our three month warranty.
KEF Say….
Some music you hear. The all-new R Series delivers a sound so pure you live each and every moment.
Stunningly fluent Uni-Q driver arrays combine with potent bass drivers to deliver a rich, spacious sound image of startling accuracy that approaches the extraordinary quality of KEF’s renowned Reference Series.
Music or movies, the R Series presents a new dimension in audiophile standards of entertainment, making flawless precision and superb dynamics more accessible than ever. Live it. Feel it
Amazingly fast and clean mid-range response. Startlingly pure high frequencies. All operating as a single perfectly integrated voice to deliver sweet, accurate sounds of unprecedented clarity.
The new Uni-Q driver array is nothing short of a masterpiece. Unlike conventional speakers, the mid-range cones are rigid magnesium/aluminium constructions that reduce breakup problems. The new mid-range Z-flex surround smooths the tweeter transition to the front baffle, which results in undistorted high frequencies.
Large voice coils increase power handling and dynamics, reducing distortion and delivering exceptional vocal clarity.
Venting the tweeters reduces pressure behind the dome, increasing midrange bandwidth and lowering distortion. Upper registers are articulated with flawless precision. KEF’s tangerine waveguide helps disperse higher frequencies evenly across a wider angle to flood the room with a sophisticated, refreshingly natural sound field.
Designed from the ground up, the R series is a towering leap forward that creates a new dimension in sonic authenticity.
The geometry and bracing of the enclosure optimises vibrational behaviour, reducing secondary radiation from cabinet walls for a cleaner sound. Damping panels further minimize cabinet resonance and colouration.
Front baffles are clean with no visible screws. Grilles are fixed magnetically. Available in real Walnut and Rosewood veneers, or highly polished Piano Black, the R Series complements the home as much as it respects the music.
