Kef KHT2005.3 System with KUBE-2

They contain KEF’s unique Uni-Q drive unit.  I will bring them closer to the camera so we can have a closer look at that for you.  This is one of the satellite speakers.  They come with the footplate, so you can sit it on any flat surface.  This footplate you can take off here; now if you look underneath there you have actually got keyhole slots for wall mounting.  It unbolts from the back of the speaker here - it is an Allen key - you get the Allen key in the box - and you can attach this bracket then to the rear of the speaker here. And you can wall-mount this speaker - it comes with a bracket.

On the back of the speaker you have got your speaker connections.  These are attached directly to the speaker.  They are binding posts which just unscrew and you screw those back down to clamp the cable through the hole there. 

They contain, as we have said, KEF’s unique Uni-Q drive unit.  You have got your base mid-range unit here with the tweeter mounted directly in the centre of the speaker.  Everything comes from one focal point.  There is no sort of definite sweet spot in the room; the sound is dispersed throughout the room so everyone listening in that room is getting good detail separation. 

That is one of the satellite speakers.  As I said, you get four of these - two for the front, two for the rear.  The centre speaker is identical - it is just mounted horizontally.  As I said, it is an identical speaker.  All the cones are identical, which is really crucial when you are looking at sort of a 5.1 system is to get the tone matched to the centre, front and rear so there is no switch in volume levels and no sort of difference in treble or base as well.  So everything is tonally matched.

That is the centre speaker - yet again, an identical drive unit.  All these speakers are base-ported as well so they give a nice depth of base, even from the satellite speakers.  Yet again, it comes with a footplate; you can take this off here and attach it to the rear of the speaker, so you can actually wall-mount the centre speaker as well.

All the speakers in this KEF range are die-cast aluminium chassis on them.  The actual specification of the speakers themselves:  the satellite speakers will take any amplifier from 10 to 100 watts.  They go down to 80Hz but up to 27kHz.  The subwoofer, which is this unit here, is called the Cube 2 Subwoofer.  You have got drive units either side of the sub, firing out sideways on there.  It gives a nice dispersal of the base throughout the room.  The subwoofer goes down as low as 35Hz and up to 150Hz.  So 35Hz to 150Hz.  And there is a 200-watt output on there as well.

If I just take these speakers off here just for a second and we will have a closer look at the subwoofer.  In fact we will bring this closer to the camera for you - it is a bit of a weight but there we go!  On the back of the sub we have got on there two controls:  You have got your volume and the phase adjustment; and then here you have got your connections just on there as well, to connect up to your amplifier. 

It is a fantastic-sounding system.  The speakers themselves are on permanent demonstration both in our Bolton store and also in our Leeds branch as well.  So if you want to have a listen to these, pop down to one of our stores either in Bolton or Leeds.

If you would like more details, go to our website which is www.soundandvision.co.uk or give me a call - my name is Chris; you will generally find me at the Bolton store, on 01204 861 861.  Or if you are watching this on some feed somewhere, there may be a link at the side of the screen here that you can click that will take you through to our website as well.  If you go through to our website, not only will you see reviews on this particular range of speakers - you will see other reviews on there for TVs, amplifiers and so forth as well.  So have a click through and have a browse through there.

Thank you.
