K120

K120

In the design of small loudspeakers every parameter becomes more critical. Only a ‘complete system’ approach, as employed by KEF, is likely to bring success. Careful study of drive units, crossover and enclosure, separately and together, with their interactions, is the means to produce a musically integrated sound. KEF system design techniques have, in the 120 produced a supremely musical small box, designed to produce its specified response when operated on a shelf, or stand-mounted close to a wall.

The K120 is a compact two-way speaker which sounds much larger than it looks. The lightweight 160mm (6.5”) bass/midrange unit provides uncoloured, fast bass response, whilst the 25mm (1”) fluid-cooled tweeter offers accurate, uncompressed high-frequency performance of exceptional clarity. A deeper-than-average cabinet gives an internal volume, and therefore a bass performance that belies its compact front aspect. Ideal for a first or second system, an audio-visual installation, or as satellites for a subwoofer, the K120 is a truly outstanding miniature.
