Product Description
Breathtaking is the only word to describe it. Hearing the iQ9 in action takes you to a different place - the illusion of presence is phenomenal. This awesome full size bass reflex floorstander partners the latest 160mm (6-12) Uni-Q mid/HF array with a brace of potent new generation LF drivers featuring ultra-low distortion motors and natural fiber-loaded paper cones. Impeccable vocals, delicious midrange and incredible bass extension - and with KEFs massive internal bracing, none of the LF distortions that usually affect tall speakers. For orchestral, big band or compositionally intricate works, were talking devastating accuracy and emotional power. And when complemented by the iQ6c and either iQ3 or iQ7 rear channel speakers, iQ9 is a formidably competent full bandwidth front speaker for large room, high-end home theatre.

superior imaging, natural mids, smooth highs.. December 30, 2006

KEF isn't a name most are familiar with in the US but should be. KEF differs from the competition in that they use a coaxial midrange/tweeter design. The advantage is mostly in coherency and imaging. The low range drivers flesh things out and blend seamlessly. Regardless, a sub is definitely recommended. They're capable of filling a large room without distorting. When they do reach their limit, the bass drivers chuff a little. They're very smooth and comparable to a pair of speakers I use with ribbon tweeters. In the world of higher end speakers, these are definitely a bargain. The fit and finish is excellent with a unique cabinet design. Two pairs of banana plugs are available for those that want to bi-amp or bi-wire. Note that the 600 price Amazon lists is for one speaker. You'll pay 1200 for a pair. If you're shopping product in this price range from B&W, Paradigm and others, KEF should be on your list.
