Yamaha RX-V765 & KEF KHT2005.3

Charismatic is the only word to describe it. Like the multi-award-winning KHT2005 from which it evolved, the reflex-ported KHT2005.3 pushes the performance envelope of midrange home theatre like no other system.

The specification tells part of the story: with parabolic enclosures computer optimised to eliminate cabinet distortions, the full range centre and satellites all feature KEF’s 100mm (4in.) Uni-Q array incorporating the 19mm (0.75in.) 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 new 200-Watt KUBE-2 has a selectable ‘Bass Boost’ switch for even more bass ‘slam’ with movie sound effects, and individual phase, frequency and level controls 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 high gloss black or matt silver finishes.

With the Yamaha RX-V765 xperience the full potential of HD audio and video. Featuring HD audio decoding with high quality discrete amplification circuitry, HDMI (4 in/ 1 out), 1080p video upscaling, Pure Direct, YPAO and multi-zone operation.

Includes Audio Pack - Micro (25m QED Micro and 3m QED Profile Subwoofer cable)
