Despite its slim footprint, it is a true three-way bass reflex design: a 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) handles the mid and high frequencies, while two 130mm (5.25 in.) hybrid aluminium bass drivers manage the low end. The result is a speaker capable of a frequency range from 38Hz to 50kHz, a maximum output of 110dB, and an in-room bass extension of 29Hz from a cabinet that is only 175mm wide. Available in Black Gloss, White Gloss, and Walnut, the R5 Meta works equally well as a stereo pair or as part of a larger R Series home cinema system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R5 Meta shares its driver complement with the rest of the R Series Meta lineup, meaning all the same Reference-derived technologies are present at this price point. MAT, developed with the Acoustic Research Centre at the University of Salford, sits behind the 25mm vented aluminium dome tweeter and absorbs 99% of unwanted rear-firing sound from the driver, removing the resonances that colour the treble in conventional designs. The 12th generation Uni-Q places the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the 125mm midrange cone so both drivers radiate from a single point, widening the sweet spot and producing more even dispersion throughout the room. The compact cabinet makes the R5 Meta particularly well suited to rooms where a larger floorstander would be impractical, without asking the listener to give up the point-source coherence or the extended bass reach that a dedicated bass driver arrangement provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- KEY FEATURES --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0f527f;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact R Series three-way bass reflex floorstander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMAT absorbs 99% of unwanted tweeter rear-radiation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 130mm (5.25 in.) hybrid aluminium bass drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range 38Hz to 50kHz; in-room bass to 29Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output 110dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity 87dB (2.83V\/1m); nominal impedance 4 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier requirements 15 to 200W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover at 400Hz and 2.7kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-cut microfibre grille with 1,801 holes per driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks as stereo pair or R Series home cinema surround\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in Black Gloss, White Gloss, and Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEISA Loudspeaker Series 2023-2024; Home Cinema Choice Best Buy, Summer 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- WARRANTY --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0f527f;\"\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5-year manufacturer's warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- WHY CONSIDER --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0f527f;\"\u003eWhy Consider the KEF R5 Meta\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R5 Meta is the right choice for listeners who want a full R Series floorstanding speaker in a room where a wider cabinet would be impractical. At just 175mm wide, it fits into spaces that the R7 and R11 Meta cannot, yet it carries exactly the same Uni-Q with MAT driver technology and the same extended frequency response. The two dedicated bass drivers give it proper low-frequency authority that no bookshelf speaker can match, and at 110dB maximum output it handles demanding material without strain. It also serves as an excellent LCR or surround option in an R Series home cinema build where tonal consistency across all channels is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller or medium rooms where a wider floorstander would not fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListeners who want R Series MAT and Uni-Q technology in a compact footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo music systems needing genuine floorstanding bass reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome cinema builds using R5 Meta as surround or LCR speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier pairings from 15 to 200W across a wide range of setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRooms where multiple speakers must maintain tonal consistency throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- WHAT'S IN THE BOX --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0f527f;\"\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKEF R5 Meta Floorstanding Speakers (pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofibre Grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlinth and Spike Accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePort Bungs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser Manual and Warranty Information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- SPECIFICATIONS --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0f527f;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .ph-spec-wrap { width: 100%;
