The performance envelope of these
sensational new drive units is so
generous that the signal needs
minimal intermediation – simple rst
order crossovers are all that’s
required, as you can tell from the
transparency of the sound and the
inaudibly uent transitions.
You can see KEF’s legendary attention
to detail everywhere. Gold plated
bi-wire terminals for the clearest
possible signal transmission, for example.
Or the spikes on the oorstanders –
they’re adjustable from the top
instead of the bottom to make
levelling easier. Thoughtful touches.
As you might expect from a company
of perfectionists, we see more to the
ownership experience than simply
luxuriating in the best possible sound.
We think about the environment too.
When you unpack your new
Q speakers, you’ll nd that the
packaging that protects them is
ecologically sound. Because the
crossover circuit boards are smaller,
the materials impact is reduced.
And when you admire their
sumptuous nish – in Black Oak,
English Cherry or European Walnut –
you can do so in the knowledge that
what looks like a ne exotic
hardwood veneer is in fact recycled
wood bre.
This total design approach is another
aspect of the difference with KEF. It’s
all about weaving truly great sound
into the fabric of the lives we live now.
Featuring rigid new aluminium cone
technology just like the Uni-Q array,
the new Q Series advanced bass
driver is a tour de force in its own
right. A die-cast aluminium chassis
rigidly locates the high efciency
vented magnet assembly to prevent
unwanted resonance, and the large
(50mm) voice coil ensures impressive
power handling. Its musicality is
impeccable: seductively tuneful
and well controlled, and on the
oorstanding models, complemented
by dedicated front-ring auxiliary bass
radiators (ABRs).
Deep, fast and powerful, this
outstanding bass response is
enhanced by new enclosures with
massive internal bracing to eliminate
resonance – and importantly, over
30% more volume than their
predecessors. For movie effects, this
noticeably enhances the realism of
the sound when combined with the
newly assertive midrange.
