STEP 1: Choose Your Front Speakers

Front Speakers



Compact, versatile and potent

The C1 pairs the superbly accurate 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter and ‘tangerine’ waveguide from the latest Q Series with a slot-ported 100mm (4in.) midrange/bass cone. Both sit on a dense two-layer front baffle system to deliver a complex, profoundly realistic and spatially accurate soundscape. With excellent power handling and a carefully tuned crossover, the C1 delivers a generously full performance that belies its discreet appearance and modest size.


Music and movie surround sound

Clear, confident and natural sounding, the C3 boasts KEF’s 130mm (5.25in.) bass driver for impressively extended low frequency response to complement the seductive realism of the sophisticated 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter and ‘tangerine’ waveguide. The resulting soundscape is warm, rich in detail and compellingly three-dimensional, whether you’re enjoying a favourite track or watching a movie.


Elegant, articulate and authoritative

A competent and compact floorstander, the C5 combines the latest 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter and ‘tangerine’ waveguide with two 130mm (5.25in.) bass drivers in a slim, internally braced cabinet. Meticulously tuned crossovers ensure seamless transitions and dual binding posts allow bi-wiring or bi-amplification.

Whatever the genre, whatever the medium, the resulting sonic picture is open, fluent and involving.


High performance left/centre/right

The vital centre channel is at the heart of any 5.1 surround sound set-up - except that the remarkable C6LCR can also be used as front and rear satellites. The latest 19mm (0.75in.) aluminium tweeter with ‘tangerine’ waveguide is flanked by two 130mm (5.25in.) LF drivers to produce both a centre speaker with precise and captivating vocals and a powerful satellite adding depth and dynamics to any 5.1 system.


Full size, full bandwidth floorstander

If you’re serious about sound, you’ll find the C7 an endlessly gratifying companion. With KEF’s phenomenal 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter and ‘tangerine’ waveguide, complemented by a pair of large 165mm (6.5in.) bass drivers, an intricate and disarmingly naturalistic three dimensional sound image floods the room. As with all of the new C Series models, the highly rigid cabinet is vented by a carefully contoured front port to provide a wide and extended bass.
 

STEP 2: Choose Your Centre Speaker
