If you prefer smaller speakers, the good news is that
all the essential iQ technology is available in more
compact enclosures.
As you can tell from the distinctive ‘tangerine’ waveguide
around the dome of KEF’s acclaimed 19mm (0.75in.)
neodymium tweeter and the metallic glint of the
surrounding midrange/low frequency cone, they’re all
based on the stunning new Uni-Q array. In the case of the
iQ30, the 165mm (6.5in.) version.
The result is an incredibly versatile music or home
entertainment speaker with a seductive lightness of touch.
With the same curved cabinet design minimising internal
reflections, it has a lyricism and depth not normally
associated with bookshelf speakers. It delivers an excellent
dynamic expression with a bass response that is deep and
expansive. Dispersion is characteristically consistent and
broad, so you enjoy the same extraordinary illusion of
presence wherever you sit. It’s like re-experiencing your
favourite tracks or movies for the very first time.
As easy to position as they are to drive, the new iQ
bookshelf models are magnetically shielded like the rest
of the range. They come in the same choice of finishes as
the floorstanders: Black Ash, Dark Apple and American
Walnut, with the option of real wood veneers in Light Oak
and Walnut.
