As every hi-fi enthusiast knows, KEF is one of the industry's great innovators. Ever since the early days of hi-fi, KEF's approach has been driven by a passionate belief in the power of new materials, new technologies and new design thinking to heighten the enjoyment of recorded sound. Of the many landmark innovations KEF has pioneered, arguably the greatest of all is the Uni-Q® point source array, with its outstanding acoustic clarity and off-axis dispersion. The first complete product range to showcase the Uni-Q in every model was the Q Series and now, after almost 20 years of continuous development, the latest iteration of this award-winning line raises the bar even higher, both subjectively and objectively.
Fashions have come and gone since the original Q Series was launched, but the objective remains the same: to fill the room with the purest possible sound. Thanks to intelligent engineering and enlightened design, the new Q Series is even more eloquent in this respect than its illustrious predecessors
The KEF iQ90 exemplifies everything that makes the new Q Series great. Like all models in the range, it's a bass reflex design based on pairing KEF's latest and most sophisticated Uni-Q array with powerful new generation bass drivers. All in an elegantly curved cabinet that's designed to maximise cabinet stiffness and minimise internal reflections.
Immediately distinguishable by the soft titanium sheen of the midrange cone and the 'tangerine' waveguide around the tweeter dome, the 165mm (6.5in.) Uni-Q driver reproduces the nuances of the human voice with subtlety and real depth. Midrange response is fluid, perfectly time-aligned with the high frequencies and evenly delivered over an exceptionally wide area. As you would expect from low distortion motors driving dual composite cones, the two 165mm (6.5in.) low frequency drivers of the KEF iQ90 deliver lavish bass, consummately controlled; and with KEF's 'labyrinth' damping system, none of the accompanying distortion that so often impairs tall speakers.
As front speakers for high-end home theatre or as a stereo pair, the KEF iQ90 has gratifyingly precise 3D imaging, breathtaking dynamics and real depth to the performance. As with the other Q Series floorstanders, a discreet plinth is provided for even greater stability; and whichever model you opt for, you can choose between Dark Apple, American Walnut and classic Black Ash finishes.
