KEF XQ10 Bookshelf Speaker (Khaya) (Pair)

Sophisticated Stand / Bookshelf Mount Speaker by Kef

Space being at a premium needn’t mean compromising on sound quality; many serious audiophiles regard the compact XQ10 bookshelf speaker as the rightful heir to the revered LS3/5a professional studio monitor, which aficionados believe has never been surpassed for its vocal clarity.

Originally developed for the BBC, the LS3/5a is such a legendary product that it has taken 30 years for a loudspeaker to attain similar midrange accuracy – that speaker is the new XQ10.

World Famous Kef Drivers:

Packed with technology derived from the Reference Series, it features KEF’s new generation Uni-Q array and ‘tangerine’ waveguide: a stunningly natural-sounding elliptical dome 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter perfectly time-aligned with the surrounding midrange/bass cone to disperse the sound far more evenly across the listening area than is possible with conventional speakers. Power handling and dynamics are exceptional, and the curved side panels of the reflex-por ted cabinet are contoured to eliminate any distortion from internal resonances. What you experience is a gloriously intricate sound image – pure, clean and true, even when played loud. Whether you prefer string quartets, arias, sax solos or drum and bass, its musicality shines through – and with film or game soundtracks, it has the power to keep you on the edge of your seat. A speaker that’s big in everything but size.

Elegant:

As a result, what you hear is exactly what the original artist intended. Musically voiced, articulate and as beautifully built as the rest of the range, the XQ10 comes with the ption of matching extruded aluminium stands and the choice of three chic modern finishes. (Piano Black, Birdseye Maple, Khaya Mahogany)

About the XQ Series:

Sound – especially music – can trigger some of the most profound emotional responses it’s possible to experience. What makes the new XQ Series from KEF so special is the ability to reproduce original sound with such depth and clarity that it makes the very essence of that experience come alive. Whether it’s exhilaration, awe or mellow relaxation, you feel more.

The ‘how?’ lies in some of the most advanced audio technologies available anywhere. In the XQ range, KEF’s patented Uni-Q® ‘point source’ driver array has been further enhanced by the addition of an ingenious ‘tangerine’ waveguide that produces a sweeter sound and disperses it even more widely throughout the room. Every element of the design has been meticulously engineered, from the crossover configuration derived from the legendary Reference Series to cabinets contoured to eliminate box colourations. KEF’s renowned build quality and attention to detail is evident throughout, with all models magnetically shielded and perfectly timbre-matched.

The new range now gives you more choice than its award-winning predecessor, with two majestic floorstanding models, two bookshelf speakers and a truly formidable centre channel. The distinctive and acoustically efficient cabinet shape remains, but there’s now a choice of high gloss real wood veneers and a sleek Piano Black
