KEF R100

Excellent build and finish; expansive soundstage; sweet highs; expressive midrange

Just a rare, slightly compromised low-end performance

If you want a speaker that sets the musical scene, the KEF R100s can do it like no other at this price. The scale and soundstage are of show-stopping proportions, which many rivals will really struggle to match.

Great scale and fluid dynamics ; seamless integration ; excellent definition ; expressive midrange ; cohesive and engaging sound

You’ll need to budget for stands

We’re struggling to find any fault with this system: the fact that you’ll need to spend extra money on quality speaker stands is the only thing that comes to mind, and that just goes to show how impressive this KEF speaker package really is.
