KHT6000 ACE

16

Every once in a while you come across

a piece of design that looks so right you

just know it’s going to perform superbly.

Like the KHT6000 ACE. Designed from the

start to complement the latest generation

of flat screen TVs, it combines high-end

KEF Audio technologies in a consummately

elegant new package. Centre stage is a

Uni-Q array with KEF’s latest aluminium

dome tweeter set into a 75mm (3in.) midrange

cone, so you know that vocals are going

to sound clear, warm and beautifully balanced

wherever you sit.

With a line-up of no less than four 75mm (3in.)

long-throw midrange/bass drivers with 

ultra-low distortion motors, you know that 

the sound image will be so real you can 

almost touch it. Big. Confident. Evenly voiced.

The separate Uni-Q enclosure utilises ACE

technology to move the enclosure resonance

below the working frequency range and absorb

higher frequency acoustic modes.

Not that you actually notice it after the first

few minutes, of course - you just find that

you start enjoying music and movies more

than you used to.

What you might not expect is the ease with

which they can be positioned in the room and

around your screen. Because at the back of

those slender elliptical-section anodised

aluminium enclosures you’ll find the ingenious

new Selecta-mount

TM

system of concealed wall

brackets; or if you prefer, there’s always the

neatly cable-managed standard shelf or desktop

stand and the option of ‘Bass Extender’, a reflex

ported floor stand to further enhance the bass

output. Whichever you choose, you’ll have the

satisfaction of knowing that you have a speaker

system that brings out the best in whatever 

you play.

Available in matt silver of high gloss 

black finishes.
