Floorstanding loudspeakers — KEF Q11 Meta

The KEF Q11 Meta is a Q-series tower designed as an accessible way into the brand's Metamaterial tweeter technology at floorstanding scale. It is aimed at a system based on a single integrated amplifier in a living room.

Key specs that matter

Its quoted frequency range is 44Hz to 20kHz, sensitivity reaches 89dB and the nominal load is 4 ohms, with amplifiers from 15 to 225W recommended. The speaker measures 106.1 x 21.0 x 38.0cm and weighs 22.5kg.

Engineering and use context

With its moderate height and narrow 21cm front, the Q11 Meta is a slim tower that fits a typical domestic room.

Pairing

The sensitivity and 4 ohm load suit most integrated amplifiers without unusual current demands.

Alternatives

The R11 Meta sits above the Q11 Meta with more developed cabinet construction and driver technology, at a higher price.
