In your traditional loudspeakers, the individual drivers are all stacked in a column on the face of the speaker. The problem with that setup is that the varying frequencies will interfere with one another, which results in a distorted sound. Or so say the KEF engineers (and I’m gonna take their word for it given that I was lost at “driver”). More »
If this KEF Picoforte 1 Digital Component Audio System sounds even half as good as its full-sized KEF big brothers, you’re in for a treat. Continuing KEF’s tradition of flying-saucer-like design, this iPod dock is modern-looking without going so far as imitating alien heads. Composed of a couple of six-inch KEF 1001 speaks, each powered with 25 watts of goodness, KEF left out the subwoofer, but the company cheerfully encourages you to take a look and listen to some of its exceptionally clean-sounding subs that will easily plug into its line-out jack. We can tell you firsthand that KEF subwoofers will rattle the depths of your soul with clean-sounding rock and roll. More »
We give props to KEF for coming out with a wireless 5.1 speaker system (KHT5005.2W), but before you rearrange your living room, you should know that the speakers still need to be tethered to a wireless receiver (there’s 2 receivers, one for the front and rear satellites).
Does that still sound wireless to you? If so, maybe you won’t mind the ridiculous $2,600 price tag. For that kinda money, I’ll keep my wires. – Louis Ramirez
