Aimed at customers seeking to “elevate their at-home audio experience”, the eight-strong Q Series aims to bring KEF’s latest raft of innovations to a wider audience. The KEF Q3 Meta are the step-up standmounts in this entry-level range, and offer a chance to experience the brand’s sonic pedigree at a more affordable price than the more premium Q Concerto Meta (£1099 / $1299 / AU$2000) we tested last year.
That all sounds very appealing, but KEF isn’t the only player trying to make a mark at this mid-price level. The Award-winning Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3 (now £699 / $1100 / AU$1499) are the current gatekeepers, while the recently reviewed Acoustic Energy AE300 Mk2 (£649 / $1099 / AU$1580) wowed us during our recent tests.
