KEF REFERENCE 1 – 3 WAY BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS
Hand-built by KEF's master craftsman in the UK, the Reference embodies KEF's history, heritage, philosophy and singular need to be the benchmark of sound reproduction.
Made in Maidstone, Home for KEF
In 1973, The Reference was a bold step for KEF; it broke new ground in terms of computer-aided design and outright performance. Today, The Reference is still made in Maidstone, England and is overseen directly by KEF’s engineers.
When only the best will do
The Reference is the heart of KEF. It is the physical manifestation of decades of innovative technological research and an obsession with absolute performance. Each Reference speaker is engineered and crafted from beginning to end by a single KEF technician.
Boundless Home Theatre
The Reference will transform your experience of film, bringing music score and soundtracks to life, as well as delivering prodigious and lightning quick dynamics and bass power. KEF Reference retailers will help you plan how to combine models including the THX Ultra Certified Architectural in-wall models.
History of accolades
Over nearly 50 years, The Reference has been recognised with awards from all of the major audio titles globally. Praised for outright performance and consistency, this latest series continues to impress the experts.
REFERENCE 1
Three-way standmounter
Smart use of innovative KEF technology means that with Reference 1 you don't need a big cabinet to enjoy expansive, high-performance sound.
Reference 1 pairs KEF’s latest 125mm (5 inch) MF/HF Uni-Q driver array with the sensational new 165mm (6.5 inch) alloy cone bass driver to create a compellingly realistic, large scale sound stage. Uni-Q’s inherently wide, even dispersion also makes it the perfect rear channel speaker in a serious home theatre system.
