Nowadays, soundbars with wireless subwoofer systems offer people a convenient way to experience decent-quality audio; systems such as the Samsung Q900F, Q800F, and Q800F, which are available at their lowest price levels.
However, if you are someone who is looking for a smaller bookshelf speaker for more sound accuracy and can live without louder or deeper bass notes, then take a look at KEF and Polk Audio's Q Concerto Meta and Reserve R200 speakers, respectively, as both of them are up for sale at their lowest ever prices (purchase links under the specs lists below).

First up, we have the KEF Q Concerto Meta, which is a three-way stereo system despite being designed within a small bookshelf footprint. That is because the KEF has a coaxial Uni-Q driver array that packs both the mid-range and tweeter.
The woofer is a 6.5-inch driver, and thus it does not go below 48 Hz, so you will need a separate subwoofer if you want bass frequencies below that. This is a passive speaker with two terminals and no other fancy connectivity features.
The technical specs of the KEF Q Concerto Meta are given below:
-
Drive Units:
-
Uni‑Q Driver Array:
- HF: 19 mm (0.75 in.) vented aluminium dome with MAT™
- MF: 100 mm (4 in.) aluminium cone
- Bass Unit (LF): 165 mm (6.5 in.) hybrid aluminium cone
-
Uni‑Q Driver Array:
-
Frequency Response:

Up next, we have the Polk Audio Reserve R200 50th Anniversary model. This is a special edition speaker and the company says that only 1000 pairs were produced.

Unlike the KEF, this is a two-way design and so does not have a mid-range driver. So you do sacrifice some of the mids. However, it should still be great for listening to music as vocals are mainly necessary for movie-watching.
The technical specs of the Polk Reserve R200 are given below:
- 1" Ring Radiator Tweeter
- 6½" Turbine Cone Woofer
- Minimum Impedance 3.8Ω
- Sensitivity 86dB
- Recommended Amplifier Power 30–200W
- Frequency Response (-3dB) 51Hz–38kHz
