Charismatic is the only word to describe it. Like the multi award winning KHT 2005 from which it evolved, the new reflex ported KHT 2005.2 pushes the performance envelope of midrange home cinema theatre like no one other system. The spec tells part of the story: with parabolic enclosures computer optimised to eliminate cabinet distortions, the full range centre and satellites all feature KEF's new 100mm (4") Uni-Q array incorporating the 19mm (3/4") aluminium dome tweeter from the acclaimed Q series.
Ferrofluid cooled for better power handling and driven by twin neodymium magnets, HF reproduction is startling - even whispered dialogue is pin sharp. But the real magic lies in the way all the system components work together. The tonal match is perfect, and transitions are so smooth you simply can't hear them. Like all KHT series Subwoofers, the matching 250 watts PSW 2010 has a cinema setting for even more bass 'slam' with movie sound effects, and individual phase, frequency and level control allow you to fine tune the output to get the perfect balance with the satellite speakers and your room acoustics. An ingenious multi-directional base makes it easy to place each satellite wherever it suits you: on a flat surface, at an angle on walls, or on the optional floor stands.
It all adds up to a chic, superbly engineered system that delivers way beyond what you'd expect for the price. Available in Matt Silver Finish.

Great Speakers

I haver had my KHT-2005.2 speakers (6 eggs plus the subwoofer) for over three years now and regard them very highly indeed. They create a smashing sound-stage, and the sub offers plenty of grunt when called upon.
My only problem was with the aforementioned sub when it started to emit strange noises. Turned out, like others mentioned, that the on-board amp had developed a fault. I returned it to Kef who had advised me that the standard repair for this was £50, which included the costs for shipping back to me. The only problem was that when it was returned, it was totally dead. Kef, to be fair to them, were excellent and shipped me a brand new amplifier unit and also refunded the money I had paid them, and didn't even want the original unit returned for checking.
All in all, I highly recommend this speaker set, as does my wife who doesn't want the lounge cluttered with large floor standing speakers.
