WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

This is premium only in the defensible sense: aluminium construction, a real dome tweeter, KEF’s Music Integrity Engine DSP, aptX Adaptive and USB-C audio. SoundGuys measured a strong 3.3 timbre score and 11 h 39 m at a demanding 80 dB—good sound/design, not maximum SPL value.

MATERIALS

ChassisAluminium

Rigid, durable enclosure gives it a genuinely premium physical build rather than a fabric-covered plastic shell.

Driver systemP-Flex racetrack driver plus dedicated dome tweeter

The dedicated tweeter and controlled-excursion driver are meaningful engineering for clarity and bass control.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
