Product Description
As the flagship system of the KHT family, the silver KHT 9000 ACE combines KEF's latest performance enhancing innovation with an uncompromised technical specification to create a true audiophile quality 3D sound picture: incredibly spacious, intricately detailed and totally engrossing. The 165-millimeter (6.5-inch) Uni-Q driver array brings out the full emotional depth and texture of vocals, whether sung, shouted, spoken or whispered - hardly surprising, since it's exactly the same unit as you'll find on the high end Q and XQ series. On either side, a matching pair of long throw bass drivers with ultra-low distortion motors for low frequency response that's as lucid as it gutsy - and thanks to KEF's Acoustic Compliance Enhancement (ACE), what you actually hear is the level of bass extension that's only normally obtainable with much larger speakers.Similar Products

Though not easy to set up, these speakers are worth the effort. We started these out with some music (Hendrix, Chopin, Brubeck), and were immediately struck by the generous and detailed sound stage. At the same, the midrange didn't sound nearly as clean as you'd expect from speakers in this price range. Within the first 30-40 minutes, though, the speakers had opened up to an extent that had to be heard to be believed, resulting in greatly improved overall sound quality. Later we tried HT, and found, for example, that softer tones were rendered with exceptional delicacy, while ample "slam" was delivered when needed. In a smaller room, you can definitely get by without a sub. The only thing I'd add is that the overall sound is a little on the bright side, so you'll probably want to steer clear of brighter-sounding receivers/amps. Also, we were using the satellite floor stands for the L/R and the small stand, all of which I recommend.
