KEF KHT 1005

Advantages: Look great sound great easy to install
Disadvantages: need a good amp to get the most out of them

...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). The new version is a vast improvement on the old model with the addition of the new tangerine tweeter. Power handling also seems to have improved. 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. It is noted that we are using Hi def audio from the new onkyo 875 receiver and from the PS3 blue ray movies are incredible! Overall well worth the money!!!!... Read review

...The KEF KHT 3005 is a 5.1 surround sound speaker system, which consists of one large subwoofer and 5 individual speakers.

But you have to consider how you arrange the speaker system... Read review

Disadvantages: Bigger than expected

...I picked up the eagerly anticipated Onkyo 606 a few weeks ago; I have paired it with a KEF 2005.2 5.1 surround speakers, both in silver finish. I purchased both from A1 Audio based in Sheffield, who supplied direct to me in Glasgow. I also bought 2 set of KEF floor stands to mount the speakers on. The Onkyo/KEF system replaces a budget Sony out of the box DVD/surround 5.1 system... and what a difference, just a totally different experience. I have hooked up the Onk with my PS3 via HDMI for gaming, DVDs & Blu-ray use. Am not gonna put anything on the spec of the 606 here, as that is pretty widely available elsewhere. I have connected the KEFs to the Onk with QED silver micro speaker cable. Out of the box everything feels very well put together, very strong and sturdy quality build. But everything is also big, much bigger... Read review
