They may look cute - but they sound anything but. Experiencing a movie or favorite album through KHT1005.2 is like seeing an old friend after a makeover: fresh, involving, more intense. The center and satellite speakers all have KEF’s stunning 75mm (3in.) Uni-Q driver - the smallest ever made, its 15mm (0.6in.) metal dome tweeter and double neodymium magnets deliver the extended bandwidth you normally get with much larger units.

The curvy die-cast aluminum enclosures eliminate the diffractions and internal resonance's that so often blur the output of conventional small speakers, so the sound is cleaner and crisper. The sound image is completed by the KUBE-1 subwoofer, its 150-Watt onboard power amp driving a side-firing 200mm (8in.) long-throw bass unit and 200mm (8in.) ABR. With output fully adjustable for phase, frequency and level, its attack is as forceful as it is accurate. Whether you prefer shelf mounting, wall brackets or optional floor stands with internal cable management, the installation is as discreet as can be - until you press ‘play’, and the whole room fills with immaculate three-dimensional sound.

KEF’s patented ’sit anywhere’ Uni-Q driver places the tweeter in the acoustic center of the bass/midrange cone (woofer). This allows both woofer and tweeter to act as a single, focused source of sound that is dispersed widely and evenly throughout the room. The practical benefit is that great sound can be experienced from anywhere in the listening environment removing the "sweet spot" effect.

Based on those developed for the legendary Reference Series, the Uni-Q arrays in the KHT range are the most sophisticated yet, with metal dome HF drivers that reproduce the human voice with breathtaking accuracy. In purely practical terms, the larger sound image gives you far greater flexibility in placing your speakers where they look best. For home theatre, it means that you experience even the subtlest 3D soundtrack effects with the same clarity and realism wherever you sit.

The KEF ‘egg’ took the consumer electronics world by storm when it was first introduced. Its revolutionary looks have been copied by a plethora of imitators but its outstanding performance has been impossible to
re-create as awards around the World for these remarkable systems testify.

The most compact of the KHT systems, the KHT1005.2, has continued the success story of this now iconic ‘egg’ as they may look cute but they sound anything but.  Now in its second generation, this system delivers an incredible performance that belies its size – more intense, more involving and with the addition of the new KUBE-1 subwoofer with more impact than before.

The sleek KHT1005.2 comprises four satellites (HTS1000.2), a center channel speaker (HTC1001.2) - all closed box design - and a beautifully matched subwoofer the KUBE-1. In die-cast aluminum enclosures, the satellites and center speaker incorporate the smallest ever (75 mm/3 inch) KEF Uni-Q array. With enhanced tweeter performance for the satellite and center surround, a frequency range of 100Hz-30kHz has been achieved for excellent dispersion and as the center speaker has an identical array, perfect timbre match across all 5 channels.

Extended bandwidth is achieved through the use of a 15 mm (0.6 inch) aluminum HF unit. Wall mounting brackets are included as part of the system giving the user the option to wall or desk mount. Optional stands with cable management facility are available.

A compact and yet high performing subwoofer, the KUBE-1 provides a powerful and precise bass whether for the latest action packed blockbuster or the rhythmic sounds of that favorite CD. The sealed cabinet is designed to be space saving and yet the 150W on board amplifier which powers both the 200mm (8in.) long throw bass driver and the 200mm (8in.) ABR (Active Bass Reflex) provides a performance that belies its size.
