The KEF Muon is the most extraordinary loudspeaker ever created

Since it was established in 1961, the British hi-fi company KEF has been considered the first choice for sound connoisseurs and audio eccentrics. One of its most visionary sculptures of sound is the Muon, penned by the design master Ross Lovegrove…

Ross Lovegrove is most famous for his organic design work for, among many others, Frog Design, Sony and Apple. According to KEF, the British industrial designer was inspired by the curves of a female for the unique Muon. The unit’s four-way speaker utilises KEF’s so-called acoustic compliance enhancement technology, enabling it to effectively double the available volume. This design and sound experience has a price, however – 160,000 euros, to be precise.
