KEF Q350 Bookshelf speaker will be retailing for $800. KEF Q150 Bookshelf speaker will be retailing for $700. The new Q series loudspeakers will be retailing exclusively in KEF Singapore Flagship store, at The Adelphi Singapore for the prices below: KEF’s new Q series speakers will be available in black and white satin finishes with a seamless baffle and magnetic grills (optional accessories) for an elegant, contemporary look. The Q650c also gets the new crossover component seen in the new Q Series floorstanders. It gets a closed-box midrange cabinet, reducing midrange excursion at low frequencies, thus eliminating distortion. Not to be left out, the Q650c center speaker also gains new components for better performance. Performance has also benefited significantly as a result of improvements to the mid-bass driver, which have also facilitated the removal of a DC blocking capacitor, improving even further the speakers' midrange clarity and a more natural bass roll-off between drivers. This reduces the load on the Uni-Q midrange cone, resulting in better clarity and detail, as well as cleaner, punchier bass. Midrange performances also get a boost, as the new Q Series floorstanders move to a new closed box midrange cabinet. The result: more controlled and potent bass, even at extreme volumes. A new paper cone improves midrange clarity, while the Auxiliary Bass Radiators (ABRs) have also been enhanced with new surrounds and rear suspensions.
All three get larger roll surrounds, and new spiders for cleaner bass at high volumes. With the floorstanding speakers (the Q550, Q750 and Q95), the improvements come largely by way of improved drivers.
KEF Q SERIES FOR SALE DRIVERS
The Uni-Q drivers in these speakers have also been moved to the middle of the cabinet, reducing unwanted resonances and improving sonic clarity. This improves clarity by reducing the amount of midrange leakage through the port. The Q150 and Q350 have been reworked with a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) port design, moving the ports to the rear of the bookshelf speakers. A new low-distortion inductor on the crossover has also been introduced, allowing the new speakers cleaner bass. Known for offering sophisticated sound for a ‘mid-price’, the new Q series speakers consists of two bookshelf speakers (Q150 and Q350), three floorstanding speakers (Q550, Q750 and Q950), and a center speaker (Q650c).Īll six speakers will benefit from the addition of a new Damped Tweeter Loading Tube to KEF’s signature Uni-Q driver, as it improves performance in the lower trebles. KEF first introduced the Q series in 1991, and the speaker lineup has gone through multiple iterations, with this year’s the eighth.
That said, it's likely that like us you'll find the KEF Q350 a likable and versatile speaker.KEF announces new additions to their Q series speakers The best speakers all sound different, so it's up to you to find one that fits your taste, size and price requirements. Like most things in audio, clear winners that would please every ear are rare. The KEF Q350 may be tuned for the audiophile ear, but that doesn't mean it won't also please anyone searching for good-sounding speakers. The sound mix is more dynamic than most CDs or files, and the stereo Q350s easily belted out the music, and bass was plentiful enough that we doubt too many buyers will need to add a subwoofer for movies.
KEF Q SERIES FOR SALE MOVIE
We finished up our testing with Roger Waters' 2015 movie "The Wall" on Blu-ray. The RP-160M is a great rock speaker, so Bowie's rhythm section kicked harder than what we heard from either the Q350 or the Uni-Fi UB5 speakers. The Q350's low-end bass definition and more neutral midrange were way ahead of the RP-160M's, but that speaker was more viscerally alive and exciting than the Q350.
With David Bowie's final album "Blackstar," we compared the Q350 with a set of Klipsch RP-160M bookshelf speakers ($549 a pair).
