KEF R5 Floorstanding Speakers in Gorgeous Walnut - Like NEW

Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

These KEF's are able to deliver in both performance and aesthetics. 

One of the most attractive finishes we've seen to date, the walnut wood veneer is simply striking and the felt covered grills are a nice touch.

Very high partner acceptance factor. 

$3300 MSRP

These are full-range speakers meaning they are capable of delivering great bass response and high SPL levels.

Sound is typical British - controlled and very musical.

Condition is virtually perfect with little to no signs of use.

Tested in our lab and listening room and working like new throughout.

Your purchase includes the two speakers, two grills, speaker spikes, and the outrunner feet exactly as shown in our photos.

KEF R5 - Compact three-way floorstander
KEF engineers do not believe in compromise, the R5 floorstander is compact and elegant yet it delivers music and movies with ease.

The svelte R5 contains a Uni-Q with 125mm (5in.) midrange driver and 25mm (1 in.) aluminium dome tweeter for incredible detail while twin 130mm (5.25in) hybrid aluminium bass units manage the bass.

TECHNOLOGY
THE SCIENCE OF SOUND

Uni-Q
The evolution of KEF's Uni-Q driver reaches its 12th generation in the R Series. Using simulation and analysis tools KEF’s engineers have been able to dramatically reduce colouration by cutting resonance in the tiny gaps between Uni-Q’s elements. The result is purer and more precise sound with stronger imaging.

Shadow Flare
The Shadow Flare is an innovative way to cut harmful high frequency cabinet diffraction. It's a carefully profiled transition that extends the waveguide effect of Uni-Q. The treble escapes naturally because the ‘shadow region’ stops it getting to the cabinet edges. The result is vastly improved fine detail.

Low Frequency Drivers
R Series bass drivers have a two-part structure with a shallow concave aluminium skin atop a paper cone. Combine this stiffness with the cone’s unique geometry and you get near pistonic movement for punch and speed. KEF has also increased linearity in the magnet system which means more impressive and impactful bass.

Flexible Port Technology
When it comes to generating deep, articulate bass, port design is crucial. The R Series ports have innovative flexible walls. Using computational fluid dynamics the flare and profile of each port is calculated to delay the onset of turbulence and the flexible port walls prevent resonances from colouring the midrange.

Cabinet Bracing
A solid platform is imperative for great sound. The new R Series benefits from Constrained layer damping. This system utilises internal braces joined by a ‘lossy’ interface and is highly effective at dissipating unwanted vibrations that would otherwise artificially change the sound and music.

Microfibre Grilles
The R Series was created to sound its best with or without grilles. The microfibre grille design is a first for KEF and not only looks beautiful but has a negligible effect on performance. They continue the tone-on-tone approach to match the various cabinet finishes and the edges are burnished for a suede-like effect.
