KEF Reference 1 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
10000,00 €
The one stand mount model in the Reference series could be the only loudspeaker you ever need. A three-way model boasting KEF’s 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™, Reference 1 is capable of delivering expansive, high-performance sound that goes way beyond what its relatively compact size would suggest was possible.
The benchmark of benchmarks
Since 1973, The Reference has continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Pioneering the use of digital technologies to achieve the highest audio accuracy, every pair can be matched within 0.5dB to the laboratory-maintained reference standard.
Always innovating
Since the first Reference speaker, KEF engineers have continued to innovate using what is possible with The Reference. Ground-breaking in its first incarnation, each subsequent iteration of The Reference has added to the world’s knowledge of the science of acoustics.
Designed, engineered and handcrafted in UK
Since 1961, we have been creating remarkable award-winning loudspeakers at our UK home in Maidstone, Kent. As our flagship HiFi speakers, The Reference is still being designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Maidstone today.

Build a Stereo, Wireless or Custom Install System with KEF
KEF works especially well when you plan the system as a whole: speakers matched to room size and listening distance, and amplification chosen for control and long-term satisfaction. If you want a clean, minimal setup, KEF’s wireless/active speaker solutions can be a strong starting point — while classic KEF stereo models remain a great foundation for a traditional two-channel system.
