The more sophisticated that digital audio 

formats become, the better your speakers

need to be. Which to choose, though?

Manufacturers come and go. Design trends

appear, then fade away. But with KEF,

you’re dealing with people who’ve been

consistently innovating since 1961.

The KEF Home Theatre (KHT) Series is a

good example. By bringing audiophile quality 

sound to affordable home entertainment,

it’s been breaking new ground ever since it

was first introduced. As its many awards and 

5-star ratings prove, the original outperformed

every conventional system in its class.

The latest KHT systems extend this 

advantage even further, whatever your budget.

With the introduction of radically 

innovative concepts like Acoustic Compliance

Enhancement (ACE), the latest refinements 

of KEF’s trademark Uni-Q technology and 

a new generation of powered subwoofers,

there’s a formidable line-up of options to

choose from.

KEF and the multi award-winning KHT story

They’re all designed to reproduce every last

detail encoded in the latest home 

entertainment formats, and having identical

drivers for the satellite and centre speakers of

each system guarantees a perfect tonal match.

Naturally, they’re all magnetically shielded to

avoid interference with your other equipment.

Although each has its own distinctive look,

every system is engineered with acoustically

inert cast aluminium enclosures and 

high-end components including metal dome

tweeters to create an accurate and 

compellingly real 3D soundscape - and with

the ultra-wide dispersion characteristics of

KEF’s Uni-Q point source array, it’s enjoyed

with equal pleasure by everyone in the room.
