The KEF S3 Floor Stand is an engineered companion stand designed specifically for the R3 Meta bookshelf speaker, creating a platform that allows the R3 Meta to deliver its full acoustic performance. Rather than pairing a reference-quality standmount with a generic stand, KEF has matched the S3 precisely to the R3 Meta's geometry and mass, ensuring optimal coupling, alignment, and stability in a two-channel listening room.
Purpose-Built Design
The S3 is designed exclusively to complement the KEF R3 Meta. The stand positions the R3 Meta at the correct listening height and presents its Uni-Q driver array at ear level in a seated position, preserving the imaging and dispersion characteristics that the speaker was voiced to deliver. The top plate dimensions correspond directly to the R3 Meta's cabinet footprint, and the mounting system provides secure, repeatable coupling between speaker and stand.
Construction
The stand is constructed from aluminium, giving it the rigidity and mass required to resist resonance without introducing colouration. The column is fillable with inert material such as sand or lead shot, allowing the owner to increase mass and further damp vibrations travelling between the speaker and the floor. This fillable construction is a hallmark of serious speaker stand design and is particularly beneficial when used with high-resolution source material and amplification.
Cable Management
Integrated cable management is routed through the stand column, keeping speaker cables concealed from view and free from external interference. This makes the S3 a genuinely neat solution in a well-presented listening room, with no trailing cables visible between amplifier and speaker.
Mineral White Finish
This version of the S3 Floor Stand is finished in Mineral White, a clean and refined tone that integrates seamlessly into contemporary interiors and complements the white finishes available for the R3 Meta. The white finish maintains the stand's elegant, architectural presence without imposing on the room.
Also Available As
The KEF S3 Floor Stand is also available in Slate Grey and Gloss Indigo Blue.
