New KEF speaker?

[SS55]

It seems KEF is about to launch a brand new speaker. Any guesses what it could be?
Too early to replace LS50 Meta…
Q series Meta?

 

[Opal]

I believe Q series are the only ones without META now. Most likely i guess

I’ve signed up - no details as yet… but wild speculation is fun cabinet edge on the right hand side looks rounded quite significantly - I had understood that was expensive to do, particularly for the Q series unless perhaps using a material other than wood for the cabinet, as Rega have done with the Kytes and Ayas.

As I say, all just wild speculation.

Active R3s would be great!

the surround on the driver in the picture implies one of thier three ways speakers ?

the black finish looks textured almost like leather. active "lifestyle" product???

Bookshelf Blades! An R6 woofer/tweeter cabinet size with dual KC62 or RF92 opposing subwoofers

They posted this on 10th August and to me this picture looks like LSX.
The world doesn’t need another small active speaker so I hope it’s something else.

Tried to sharpen it a bit

KC62 in a LS50 sized enclosure and a R3 Uni-Q driver at the front, that’s perfect for me.

It looks like a completely different driver

 

[Vladetz]

I think it looks wider than ls60

Must be Q Meta's.

It’s a three-way (I don’t think there is a Q with a three-way crossover), you can tell from the driver surround, the two- and two-and-a-half-ways have their z-flex surround. The rounded lateral edge looks just like the LS60, so my guess is a black LS60. I don’t believe the cabinet is ideal for a passive version to be possible, the low volume would result in pretty poor bass extension.

Only the LS60 series has the ugly mate color, the R series have the NICE shiny finish
