As a natural evolution of the KHT2005 system, the KHT3005K2 features the drive unit technology to dominate the market for high performance, luxury finish sub-sat systems. The ribbed polypropylene cone of the Uni-Q adds sufficient stiffness to ensure that it moves as a simple piston – without any bending motion, so that the response is smooth and with minimal distortion. The result is a very detailed midrange which, when integrated with the precise treble of the aluminum dome tweeter, clearly displays the benefits of the Uni-Q principle: even tonal balance throughout the room and spacious, stable stereo imaging. The new 115mm (4.5”) Uni-Q also featured Sealed Suspension Technology to help maintain clean output despite the very high sound pressures that exist in small enclosures.
The two-way, reflex loaded, satellite speaker reflex, was matched by a larger center speaker, HTC3001, designed to easily cope with the extra demands of the center channel signal on typical movie and multi-channel soundtracks. The system was made complete with the new K2 subwoofer (see separate listing). The 3005 system was updated to the SE version in 2007.
Uni-Q Driver ConfigurationKEF’s exclusive ‘sit anywhere’ Uni-Q driver configuration, places the tweeter in the acoustic center of the bass/midrange cone. This creates a single focused audio source that disperses the sound image evenly throughout the room so that everyone enjoys the full richness of music or movie soundtracks. Instead of having identical center and satellite speakers like other systems, the KHT3005K2 employs a stunning new dedicated center channel that gives dialogue more weight and clarity delivering cinema-like frontal impact. It also has a radical new high performance powered subwoofer.
Satellite SpeakersThe new 115mm (4.5in.) Uni-Q driver of the HTS3005K2 satellite speaker has been comprehensively engineered for even cleaner, smoother response. An improved magnet system delivers even heftier bass by allowing greater movement of the speaker cone. KEF’s all-new sealed suspension technology (SST)TM fills in the gap between midrange cone and tweeter to produce a markedly more powerful, cleaner sound. Distinctive radial ribs on the midrange cone improve its rigidity for pure, clean vocal effects with exceptionally low distortion. The cast aluminum enclosures are shaped to minimize internal resonance so that the satellites fill the room with a lush and incredibly detailed 3D sound. The attention to detail is plain to see, from the depth of the gloss finish to the ingeniously simple wall mounting bracket system.
Centre SpeakerWith the 115mm (4.5in.) Uni-Q array as the satellites, flanked by two additional 75mm (3in.) bass drivers, the hefty frontal impact is complemented by amazingly clear dialogue. And the response is so superbly integrated across the frequency range that you soon forget you’re listening to a recorded signal. It sounds astonishingly true to life.
SubwooferIt’s the first subwoofer at this price level that you won’t want to hide away out of sight. With an ultra-reliable, high efficiency, 250W class D amplifier powering a 250mm (10in.) driver with a matching auxiliary bass radiator, the radical K2 model subwoofer anchors the 3D sound image with stunningly realistic low frequency reproduction. Whether you prefer to position it vertically or horizontally, the story’s the same: an acoustically inert enclosure shaped to eliminate internal standing waves, extremely fast response and SmartBassTM ‘connect and go’ versatility with simple bass boost and phase controls.
