Watch our video show report on the KEF R Series
One of the biggest launches here at Manchester is the much-anticipated R Series speakers from KEF, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
We had a sneak preview of them at the CEDIA Expo in America back in September, and now UK hi-fi lovers can get to see the full line-up at the show this weekend.
The R range will sit above the Q series of speakers and below KEF's Reference range – the position currently occupied by the XQ line-up.
As you can see from the group shot above, the KEF R range includes two standmount speakers, three floorstanders, a dipole surround option, a matching subwoofer and a choice of two centre speakers.
The speakers look beautifully finished: alongside Rosewood and Walnut veneers there's a piano-black high-gloss finish (pictured).
There's more technical info in our original news story, and if you can't make it to Manchester this weekend watch our video show report.
