Hear it and be there

If you’re into quality home entertainment, you’ll know everything about KEF’s KHT2005 system - the orignal won so many awards and 5-star ratings that it would be hard not to.

But even rave reviews can’t prepare you for the experience of listening to the latest version of the compact high performance 5.1 set-up. Those distinctive little cast aluminium enclosures now house brand new UNI-Q® point source arrays whose sophisticated new metal dome tweeters combine to deliver vocals that make your hair stand on end.

As before, audiophile quality components are fitted througout - and with KEF UNI-Q®, everyone in the room enjoys the same superbly detailed sound image.

The active subwoofer is also brand new, it’s on-board amp driving a 250mm (10") long-throw bass driver that pumps out a genuine 250 Watts of distortion-free bass. The magnetically shielded satellite speakers look as good as ever: smooth, minimal and discreet. But now there are two new finishes to choose from - clean metallic silver or soft black, to match your other equipment.

And yet, with all these upgrades, KHT 2005.2 costs no more than the phenomenally succesful system it replaces. If you really care about sound, it adds up to outstanding value.

The UNI-Q advantage

The great thing about KEF’s pattented UNI-Q® driver configuration is that it disperses sound over a much larger area than conventional speakers, so that everyone in the room experiences 3D audio effecrts with the same clarity and accuracy.

This is because KEF uses aerospace materials to make the tweeter small enough to mount in the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, creating a single point source that frees you from the usual restrictive ’sweet spot’ and gives you far greater flexibility in where the speakers can be placed. And the new UNI-Q array in the KHT 2005.2 os better than ever, with a sophisticated new 19mm (3/4") elliptical metal dome tweeter for enhanced high frequency response and even more realistic vocals.

Amazing bass

A powerful, accurate subwoofer adds weight, depth and intensity to the 3D sound image, and the output of KEF’s new sealed box design has been increased by 10dB at 30Hz. The integral 250 Watt amplfier drives a down-firing long-throw 250mm (10") bass unit with exceptionally low distortion characteristics fro clean, well defined low frequency response throughout the room.

This generously extended bass can be fine-tuned to suit your set-up and preferences, with a variable slope switch to ensure seamless intergration with the satellite speakers, a ground lift switch to prevent hum and switchable cinema/music modes to provide extra punch for reproducing the full impact of movies special effects.

Better by design

KEF has always been renowned for design intergrity, and the new KHT 2005.2 is no exception. The parabolic cast aluminium enclosures of the satellite speakers are computer optimised to minimise internal resonance and distortion for a purer, cleaner sound. And being identical, there’s a perfect tonal match between the front and rear surround speakers and the centre channel, which can be placed horizontally either above or below the TV.

The ingenious base of each speaker allows you to place them virtually anywhere - on any flat surface, at any angle on walls, or on the optional stands. And as they’re fully magnetically shielded, there’s no risk or interferances with other equipment nearby.

With the original KHT 2005 system, KEF engineers wanted to create a flexible, compact system that delivered audiophile quality 3D sound at an affordable price - and the awards it received underline how well they succeeded.

KHT2005.2 has taken things a step further, with a comprehensiveky upgraded specification that brings listening enjoyment to a new level:

Perfect sound, wherever you are.
