KEF Q150 Uni-Q Bookshelf / Desktop Speakers

  The KEF Q150 Bookshelf Speaker helps round out the company's award-winning Q Series. KEF's Q150 features a solid cabinet, sleek black finish, and a modern 5.25" Uni-Q driver array. The Q150 contains an enhanced Uni-Q Driver Array designed to smooth out treble frequencies, and reimagined crossovers to provide cleaner and more accurate bass. The front port has been moved to the back of the Q150 and internal architecture has been redesigned to reduce internal resonances to improve audio clarity.

With over 55 years of experience and countless groundbreaking inventions under its belt, KEF's eighth iteration of its Q Series speaker line boasts an enhanced Uni-Q Driver Array for unparalleled depth and clarity. A damped tweeter loading tube design to significantly enhance performance of the lower treble register. Coupled with a low-distortion inductor on the crossover, this aids in replicating low frequencies more accurately.

The Q150 also features an improved CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) port design, which has been moved to the back of the speaker. Beyond the sleek aesthetics of the Q150, this relocation improves clarity by reducing midrange leakage through the port, and allows the Uni-Q Driver array to be moved to the center of the cabinet. With this design, internal resonances are significantly reduced and sonic clarity in the soundstage is significantly boosted.

KEF's Q150 bookshelf / desktop speakers also boast a seamless baffle and magnetic grilles (as an optional accessory), guaranteeing a beautifully clean look, even if you use the speaker without the optional grille. This is unusual at this price point, where most speakers will have unsightly holes or protrusions designed to accommodate the grille. Normally these are MSRP of around $599.99, yet you can buy them on Amazon right now for only $299.98 per pair in black!
