KEF Unveils Space-Saving Surround System
“The vertical flat panels behind the main speaker
drivers act as rear effects speakers, while the front facing Uni-Q drivers
create perfect left, centre, and right speakers Ð ideal for home cinema
applications. The effect is certainly impressive, with pin-sharp dialogue and
extraordinary surround effects. KEF's fivetwo Uni-Q technology disperses sound
around the room so well that the user can sit anywhere to enjoy the optimum surround
experience.”
KEF joins Yamaha and Philips with this approach but
frankly, it’s still virtual surround and will never top proper 5.1 surround
sound set-ups. Also, did you think that you’d save some money because there’s
just two speakers? Think again.
The KEF Model 7 and Model 11 speakers come armed with price tags of £600 and £1,100 per pair, respectively. Ouch!
