KEF Q80

 For thirty years KEF has proved to be a worthy holder of the title "The Speaker Engineers". Taime and again, highly advanced and innovative engineering techniques coupled with the most exacting attention to detail at every level and stage of production has ensured that KEF has led the world with a succession of major advances in loudspeaker design and technology. The KEF "Q" Series is no exception.

 KEF Q80

The Q80 is a floorstandig speaker of relatively compact dimensions. It is designed for the listener who needs big speaker performance without big speaker dimensions.

In addition to the 200 mm (8') Uni-Q unit, a passive rediator of the same diameter smooths, extends, and increasses bass output.Adjustable.lockable, spiked or capped feet allow the Q80 to be located firmly on the floor, with optimum stability on any surface, enabling the Uni-Q unit's outstanding imaging capability to be fully exploited.

All three Q Series models are fitted with heavy-duty twin gold-plated terminals suitable for bi-wired or bi-amplified use.

An easy 8-ohm load offers the amplifier no driving problems, and the Q80's high sensitivity allows lifelike levels of up to 110 dB, an outstanding figure for a speaker of Q80's size.
