Quality - 9.0
This set of speakers oozes quality, as you would expect from KEF. The aluminum cabinets remind me of the Definitive Technology Mythos line, which is a very good thing in my book.
The stands, binding posts, grills and wall mounts are all very high quality feeling.
My main complaints are that the binding posts don’t accept my banana plugs and the limited controls on the subwoofer.
Other than those two items, I was very impressed with the quality of this set.
Sound - 8.0
This set did a very good job filling my small room with sound. The Uni-Q drivers did a good job blending into the room and the highs were detailed and crisp.
However, set would get lost in larger rooms, especially the subwoofer. Overall, this set was just lacking some of the impact and dynamics I’ve become accustomed to.
Still a very good sounding system, in small to medium sized rooms.
MSRP Rating - 8.5
I couldn’t find the exact MSRP for the 5.1 package but it was very close to $1,700.
For that price, this is a very good sounding system and it was built to high standards. Definitely worth the MSRP, considering the name brand.
Aesthetics - 8.5
I really like the looks of this set. I’m assuming most people shopping for speakers like this, are probably mounting them on the wall but they are equally attractive sitting on the stands.
They are large enough to look substantial but also small enough to not visually dominate the room.
Nice and modern looking system!
Price Paid Value - 8.0
Not my best deal ever but easily worth more than the $400 I have tied up, into this set.
The next owner will be getting another good deal on a great set of speakers:)
