This new lineup, born from the award-winning Q Series, features its proprietary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT), first announced back in 2020 and first heard in the LS50 Meta update. KEF claims that MAT absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the driver.

The Q Series 2nd-Gen lineup consists of eight speakers designed to suit the needs of those looking to elevate their at-home audio experience through stereo or multi-channel home cinema.

At the heart of the Q range is the Uni-Q driver, which is now in its 12-generation and found in all eight models.

The KEF Q11 Meta, Q7 Meta, Q Concerto Meta and Q6 Meta models have all been updated from a 2.5-way to 3-way design, which KEF says offers improved detail and clarity, as well as a newly introduced “Shadow Flare”, said to provide better high-frequency dispersion and minimising cabinet edge diffraction. The crossover has also received further optimisation and enhancements.

As it has become celebrated for, KEF's Q Series speakers feature a contemporary minimalist design with a satin finish that offers a premium but subtle look. Carefully selected colour driver units match the chosen finish, ensuring they blend effortlessly into any interior. 

Dedicated grilles are included with the speakers and are colour-matched to maintain the cohesive aesthetic, while the magnetic fixing provides a secure and precise fit in keeping with the clean and seamless styling of the Q Series.

Available in Satin Black, Satin White, and Walnut finishes and available from October 2024, the KEF Q Series with MAT is priced as follows:

  • Q1 Meta 2-way bookshelf speaker: £499 per pair
  • Q3 Meta 2-way bookshelf speaker: £649 per pair
  • Q Concerto Meta 3-way bookshelf speaker: £1,099 per pair
