Designed for Home Theatre Height Channels
The R8 Meta is made for home theatre systems that add height channels to the usual front, centre, and surround speakers. It uses the same Uni-Q Driver Array found across the R Meta Series, so the sound stays consistent with your front speakers. Its compact size and 4.5 kg weight make it easier to place than a full-size speaker. It pairs naturally with KEF’s R Meta floorstanding and bookshelf speakers, centre channels, and Kube subwoofers.
