KHT3005SE - The purist's edition

Acoustic purity, uncoloured by distortion or internal resonance and with seamlessly fluid transitions across the frequency range, is what you want from a surround sound system. That’s why we’re celebrating the spectacular success of our multi-award winning KHT3005SE 5.1 surround sound system with an exclusive limited edition in high gloss white*, to match the flawlessly accurate soundscape it creates.

With inert cast aluminium enclosures housing some of the world’s most advanced high end audio technologies, each satellite and the dedicated three-way centre speaker boasts the latest incarnation of KEF’s legendary Uni-Q® array for even dispersion throughout the room, with ‘tangerine’ waveguides for even sweeter HF response. The accompanying 250W subwoofer delivers massive, tightly controlled bass; and upright or horizontal, out of sight or in pride of place, SmartBass™ functionality means that it’ll be playing in minutes.

The result is everyone in the room enjoys the same spacious, intricately detailed and strikingly realistic 3D soundscape, wherever they sit. The only difference is that it looks cooler than ever.

* Not all models or finishes are available in all markets; please consult with your regional KEF dealer for product availability information in your country.

Aluminium dome tweeter with ‘tangerine’ waveguide

The unique ‘tangerine’ waveguide delivers a smoother, clearer high frequency response with an even wider dispersion as well as providing an excellent protection from straying fingers

Uni-Q®

KEF’s patented ’sit anywhere’ Uni-Q driver places the tweeter in the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone (woofer). This allows both woofer and tweeter to act as a single, focused source of sound that is dispersed widely and evenly throughout the room. The practical benefit is that great sound can be experienced from anywhere in the listening environment removing the "sweet spot" effect.

 

Sealed Suspension Technology (SST)

A patented KEF technology that effectively seals the gap between a moving mid-range cone and tweeter, which has the effect of dramatically improving sound quality, particularly at higher volumes.
