Sound reproduction should be invisible -
you want surround sound, with the hardware
as unobtrusive as possible. Trouble is,
conventional home theatre systems require at
least five speakers and a subwoofer to be
placed around the room, regardless of how
they fit with the rest of your furniture.
Cables have to be run to the rears. Before you
know it, your living space looks like a hi-fi
showroom. That’s why we came up with an
alternative. As its name implies, the new
five
two
series envelops you in the surround
sound of a full 5.1 set-up using only two
speakers and a subwoofer.
The hide-away subwoofer that best matches
the
five
two
series is KEF’s powerful HTB2.
Whether you choose the compact model 7
(with seven drivers in each speaker) or the
formidable model 11 (with no less than
eleven), the effect is amazing. Voices sound
real and precisely located. Ambient effects
travel through a realistic three-dimensional
soundscape as the director intended.
On screen action comes alive for everyone in
the room, wherever they sit.
Available in sleek matt silver or high gloss
black, they can be mounted either on neat
adjustable wall brackets or floor stands - and
in line with the thinking behind the whole
concept, they’re exceptionally simple to set up.
All you have to do is connect the cables
supplied to your 5.1 home theatre
receiver/amp.
