Excellent

8.8

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Steve Guttenberg
Review date: 6/6/06

The good: The KEF KHT-3005 is one compact, beautifully designed speaker package with solid aluminum satellites that feature unique driver technology to produce incredible clarity. Meanwhile, the equally astounding dual 10-inch, 250-watt powered subwoofer delivers ultradeep bass.

The bad: Finicky setup required to produce best sound.

The bottom line: KEF's stunningly styled egg-shaped speaker package, the KHT-3005, boasts audiophile-quality sound for music and impressive home-theater performance.

Product brief - KEF KHT3005 (black)
Hide

Description: The KEF KHT3005 is a five speaker, compact surround sound system. Compared to other compact speaker systems on the market, it is expensive at around $1,380.

Pros: Choosing a speaker system (rather than mixing and matching components) takes the guesswork out of making sure you have voice-matched speakers. Matched speakers in a home theater speaker system will result in a more seamless, plausible, and immersive sound experience.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A compact speaker system, suited for home theater.

Value: In general, this speaker system's features are in line with its price.

Suggestions: (1) Visit CNET's surround sound speaker guide for more information about buying packaged systems. (2) Learn more about home theater speakers at CNET's surround sound buying guide.
