About the Product

The KEF R300 Bookshelf Speaker is the larger of the two bookshelf speakers offered in our R Series, and with more size comes more sound. The R300 features a 5 inch Uni-Q driver array with a 1 inch aluminum dome tweeter at its acoustic center.

The LS50 monitor delivers a rich, multi-dimensional 'soundstage experience' that is out of all proportion to its size. Patent-pending acoustic designs, together with state-of-the-art technologies from KEF's latest flagship Blade loudspeaker, provide the ultimate studio experience - even in the smallest of spaces.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

KEF R300 Bookshelf Loudspeaker - Gloss White (Pair)

Love these speakers. Crystal clear mids and lows. Clean bass. Very pleased with its size.
Lows and mids are great. I was surprised that such small speaker can sound so excellent.
They are solid, well constructed and modern looking. And they are quite compact in size.
They are beautiful and solid. Compact and lightweight. Very smooth, easy to listen to for long periods of time, and has serious bass for a bookshelf.
This is larger and heavier than expected but quickly got used to it.

KEF R300 Bookshelf Loudspeaker - Gloss White (Pair)

Outstanding sound. Well balanced. I am partial to a good mid-range and these do not disappoint.
Piano music makes you feel like you are in the hall. Great speaker even at low volumes.
For a small package these speakers really produce great sound covering excellent highs to bass.
The Kef at high volume shines! Appropriate bass response with crisp, but not harsh highs.
It sounds great. Definitely a better choice for me. I was also considering LS50's, but after listening to both I chose this due to better bass output and warmer overall sound.

KEF R300 Bookshelf Loudspeaker - Gloss White (Pair)

I use these strictly for music in a smaller space. Well built, excellent quality.
Finish quality is great. They come with a front screen, but look great with out it.
Great build quality. Hefty price tag but well worth the investment in my opinion.
The best speakers I have ever owned. Very wide soundstage, Crystal clear/detailed sound and awesome for movies, tv, and music alike. Will keep for life!
They're powerful enough. Well made cabinets. I use them with grills off - the chrome surrounds around the speaker cones look very classy.
