Kef KHT1005.2 Multi-Part Speaker Set reviews - Compare prices and deals - Reevoo
Look great, sharp chrisp sound and the sub is pretty powerfull...Great sound - good looking - well made none compact, unobtrusive, handles Onkyo power output well None yet great sound does not overcrowd you living room, or tv stand, good style, especially the sub , good design for average rooms ie 16ft 14ft...The instructions were a little vague on how to set up the subwoofer...not intuitive...

Kef KHT1005 - Surround Speaker Systems - CNET Archive
nice looking, sub woofer is very good at producing thundering bass in a mid size room very high trebles even with treble control turned way down This has been paired with a Denon 1701 receiver and the more I listen to these speakers the more annoying I find them...The mid range is thin and lacking...After spending money on these speakers I would recommend save your money and look elsewhere...
