The compact KEF Fivetwo model 7’s (with seven drivers in each speaker) is ideal for the minimalist look. 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.
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 KEF came up with an alternative, introducing the KEF fivetwo’s.
As its name implies, the new KEF fivetwo series envelops you in the surround sound of a full 5.1 set-up using only two speakers and a subwoofer.
The secret lies in combining KEF’s acclaimed Uni-Q® “sit anywhere” driver concept with flat panel technology. Each speaker has a front-firing array of Uni-Q drivers from the award-winning KHT5000 and KHT6000 series, providing true dedicated centre speakers as well as spreading a highly detailed sound image to your left and right. Behind them, large vertical flat panels act as high performance rear effect speakers, radiating the relevant parts of the signal to the back of the listening area. And all the channels can be separately adjusted from your receiver to achieve a perfect balanced sound.
The hide-away subwoofer that best matches the fivetwo series is KEF’s powerful HTB2 from the EISA award winning KHT3005 system. Whether you choose the compact KEF fivetwo model 7 (with seven drivers in each speaker) or the formidable fivetwo model 11 (with no less than eleven), the effect is amazing. 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.
