If you are a Hi-Fi enthusiast, you may already be familiar with KEF. If you’re not, it’s not a brand you will typically find at your local big-box store. Founded in 1961 and headquartered in England, the company has always strived to produce speaker designs based on research and innovation. The name KEF says it all – it stands for Kent Engineering and Foundry.

Throughout the decades, KEF has been noted for pioneering innovations. Among those is the Uni-Q driver array, where the midrange and tweeter drivers are arranged concentrically for improved off-axis dispersion of sound, resulting in a wider and more natural soundstage. This design innovation has been widely adopted by other respected speaker manufacturers, but KEF has continued refining it with every speaker generation across all its lines.

While award-winning KEF speakers like the Muon and Blade cost tens of thousands, you don’t have to spend that much to have KEF sound quality in your St. Louis, MO home audio system. KEF’s most popular line, the Q Series, is on sale for a limited time this summer. Read on to learn more about the Q Series – but hurry, this sale ends on August 1!
