Through constant innovation, the company founded by Raymond Cooke has striven to recreate sound as close as possible to its original source, guaranteeing excellent quality audio whether you’re on the go, at home, at work, or anywhere in between.

    Quality and portability combined

    One of KEF’s most popular and highly praised products is the Muo. It was created in partnership with British cult designer Ross Lovegrove in the same aesthetic vein as the award-winning flagship loudspeaker Muon, but much much smaller. Aside from its beautiful rounded aluminum exterior, the speaker boasts a mini version of the Uni-Q driver present in both the EGG and the X300A. While smaller in size, its innovative design widens its dispersion to fill the room with full-bodied sound.

    KEF's Muo carries much of the same technology that the flagship speakers have, but in a beautifully compact package.
