The centre channel is the most important speaker in any surround sound home entertainment system, which is why the three-way XQ50c is so lavishly specified.

Like the XQ30 floorstander, the 130mm (5.25in.) central Uni-Q® midrange/HF array incorporates the sophisticated elliptical metal dome tweeter and new ‘tangerine’ waveguide that reproduces any vocals with such unerring accuracy. On either side, a pair of KEF’s renowned 130mm (5.25in.) bass drivers in their own dedicated enclosures deliver the hefty frontal slam that brings on-screen action right out into the room.
