KEF IQ1

Advantages: Great Sound

...Kef Q5 speakers. This is a difficult item to review, because the main emphasis on this product is the ability to produce audible sound. This sound is something, which is difficult to explain without getting too technical. Within that context I will try to explain some of the technical details before the actual description of the Kef speakers, thus hopefully giving you a fuller understanding of the actual product.

...Hi there ! We own the new verson of the kef KHT 3005 whats known as the SE version(we used to have the old model).

They fill the room with rich deep base from the new HTB2 sub woofer and they look absolutely fantastic ! We managed to get them at a fantastic price from The brotherhood of sound in Chesterfield at almost £200 off the RRP.
