Floorstanding loudspeakers — KEF Q7 Meta

The Q7 Meta is a floorstanding loudspeaker from KEF, incorporating the brand's current Metamaterial Absorption Technology, built with a demanding impedance at genuine floorstanding scale. The Q7 Meta brings KEF's more accomplished current Uni-Q driver engineering to an accessible floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 46Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 87dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with a wide recommended amplifier power range of 15-200W. At 100.1 x 31.7 x 31.5cm and 18.4kg, the Q7 Meta represents a genuine floorstanding commitment within the accessible Q-series catalogue.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally coherent, naturally integrated character KEF's celebrated Uni-Q coincident-driver technology is broadly known for, with the current Metamaterial Absorption Technology representing KEF's more accomplished current driver-cavity engineering.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance combined with the wide 15-200W recommended range calls for a reasonably capable amplifier.

Alternatives

KEF's own Q750 offers a related model with a more benign 8 ohm impedance within the same broader accessible Q-series floorstanding catalogue.
