Description
Since 1973, The Reference has continuously set the standard for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. A pioneer in the use of digital technologies to achieve the highest sound accuracy, each pair can be matched to the laboratory-tested reference standard with an accuracy of 0.5 dB.
Since the first Reference loudspeaker, KEF engineers have continuously innovated to push the boundaries of what The Reference can achieve. The first phase of the Reference loudspeaker was groundbreaking, and each subsequent phase has expanded the world's knowledge of the science of acoustics.
Since 1961, KEF has been manufacturing remarkable, award-winning loudspeakers at its British production site in Maidstone, Kent. The Reference, the flagship of Hi-Fi loudspeakers, is still developed, engineered, and handcrafted in Maidstone today.
