The compact Q1 Meta bookshelf speaker pair offers sound performance greater than its size and is an excellent choice for music lovers putting together their first HiFi system. Like other models in the 9th generation Q-series, this pair features KEF's 12th generation Uni-Q drivers and MAT construction technology, which eliminates distortion to produce a cleaner and more transparent sound. Additionally, the new Q-series incorporates a lot of technology from KEF's more expensive R-, Reference-, and Blade-series. Uni-Q is KEF's core innovation, allowing the entire critical frequency range to be reproduced from a single driver but, even more importantly compared to other coaxial drivers, from exactly the same acoustic point.
