Which Q Meta is right for you?
Large rooms / full-range stereo: Q11 Meta has the deepest bass and greatest headroom (triple 6.5" woofers). Pair with a quality integrated amp; add a sub for room-gain control below ~30 Hz.
High-impact theater mains: Q7 Meta fronts + Q6 Meta center, Q4 Meta surrounds, Q8 Meta for Atmos height—an elegant 5.1.2 foundation.
Standmount hi-fi: Q Concerto Meta is a true 3-way bookshelf—excellent microdetail and scale; add a compact sub for full-range.
Bookshelf value / surrounds: Q3 Meta for mid-size rooms; Q1 Meta for desktops/small rooms or surround duties.
Sleek TV installs: Q4 Meta on-wall L/C/R keeps the floor clear with real bass reach. Prefer a dedicated dialog channel? Use Q6 Meta as center.
Immersive height & surround: Q8 Meta fits as up-firing height or direct-radiating wall-mount for 5.1.2 or 7.1.4 layouts.
Quick setup & system tips
- Placement: Start ~20–24" from the back wall (towers/bookshelves). Modest toe-in so you just see the inner cabinet sides from the seat.
- Center channel: Align tweeter height with ear level; if below, tilt up toward listening position.
- Sub crossover: Begin near each speaker’s –3 dB point (see table), level-match, then adjust phase for tightest bass at the seat.
- Accessories: Stands/brackets/spikes improve imaging and stability for bookshelves, on-walls and towers.

Q Meta Series — FAQs
What’s new in the KEF Q Meta vs the previous Q Series?
All eight models adopt MAT™ and the latest 12th-gen Uni-Q® array for wider, smoother dispersion. Several models move to 3-way architectures (e.g., Q11, Q7, Q Concerto, Q6) for cleaner midrange separation.
Q7 Meta vs Q11 Meta — which should I choose?
Q11 Meta offers the most bass headroom in large rooms (~26 Hz in-room). Q7 Meta suits medium-large rooms, especially if a subwoofer handles the bottom octave.
Is Q Concerto Meta a real 3-way bookshelf?
Yes. It uses a dedicated 4" mid with the tweeter in Uni-Q, plus a separate 6.5" woofers—rare at this price and a major reason it reviews so well.
What’s the best center channel for a Q Meta theater?
Q6 Meta—a 3-way sealed LCR/center with dual 6.5" woofers for articulate dialog and seamless timbre match.
How do I add Dolby Atmos with Q Meta?
Use Q8 Meta as up-firing height modules atop towers or wall-mount them as direct-radiating heights/surrounds to reach 5.1.2 or 7.1.4.
Do I need stands or brackets?
Stands for bookshelves, wall brackets for compact/on-wall models, and spikes for towers can improve imaging and stability.
