KEF

KEF develops loudspeakers using its Uni-Q coincident-driver technology. Its catalogue extends from compact listening systems to architectural products and the large MUON design.

Design & approach

KEF’s catalogue extends from passive hi-fi loudspeakers to wireless systems and architectural installations. Its Music Gallery offers a way to encounter those products in different settings rather than treating every room as the same listening problem. At Bonsai HiFi in Cali, one KEF KC62 and two KEF KC92 subwoofers support the GR-Research main speakers. The MUON film below follows one of the company’s most distinctive loudspeaker projects.

Inside the system

Bonsai’s signal chain puts the selector at the centre: the Technics decks feed the ARS Model 9900, while the GR-Research X-CS Encore speakers reproduce the main programme through the currently listed Sansui BA-2000. The sealed main cabinets and separate bass system allow the upper-bass and midrange presentation to be considered separately from the room’s deeper bass demands.
