KEF Offers Reference Models In Twelve Custom Colors

Finishes Inspired by the World’s Leading Luxury and Sports Car Brands

By Gary Reber


KEF, the renowned British manufacturer of innovative, reference-quality loudspeakers, announced that the company’s renowned Reference Series loudspeakers will now be offered in twelve magnificent finishes, whose vibrant colors are directly related to the most prestigious luxury and sports car brands. If none of their twelve color options suit the customer’s discerning palate, KEF will even custom build to order by special arrangement.
 
Each color is individually crafted to a high gloss finish with multiple layers of lacquer, each one polished to a mirror finish by hand before applying the next one. The result is a rich and brilliant shine that meets or exceeds that of most luxury automobiles.


Effective immediately, this service will take approximately three months to fulfill with a 15% premium over the
standard piano black finish. KEF Authorized Reference Dealers will carry sample swatches of the 12 new colors for customers to view prior to order, while a unique sample swatch will be created for sign off for other customers.

“KEF has long believed that high performance audio should be as exciting to the eye as well as the ear”, exclaimed Alec Chanin, President of KEF America. “As one of the top luxury audio brands on the market, it only makes sense that KEF customers should have the option to indulge their senses and if they so desire, to match their speakers to their favorite car. And we are delighted to provide that service.”
