"KEF’s Reference 3s were among the most satisfying speakers I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing for quite some time. Within the context of my reference system, they shone as outstanding transducers, excelling in some of the most important aspects of music reproduction such as dynamic extension, bass power, soundfield reproduction and tonal accuracy"
