KEF XQ40 Floor Standing Speaker (Khaya Mahogany)

Respect is what the XQ40 commands. Not just because it sounds as assertive as it looks, but because of the uncanny illusion of presence it creates.

Flanked by a pair of 165mm (6.5in.) ultra-low distortion LF drivers for exceptionally fluid bass response, the individually pair-matched Uni-Q® midrange/HF array floods even the largest space with an intricately detailed sound image, irrespective of where you happen to be sitting.

Dynamics are crisp and assured, with seamless transitions born from crossover technology based on that of the KEF Reference Series and perfectly matched to the advanced
19mm (0.75in.) tweeter with the new ‘tangerine’ waveguide. Together these capture nuances of the human voice that you usually only ever hear live. What you experience is a big, expansive sound tempered by a remarkable delicacy. Flawlessly natural imagery, especially with digital formats. Full-bodied emotion under perfect control. It’s a beguiling combination

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
