KEF Q550 Compact Floorstanding Loudspeaker

Description

Q550

Q550 delivers phenomenal audiophile performance with clarity and power. Featuring the KEF signature Uni-Q driver, a 130 mm (5.25 inch) aluminium bass driver, plus two matching ABR Auxillary Bass Radiators units.

Putting the Uni-Q driver in its own sealed cabinet reduces the load on the cone and increases clarity and detail while delivering cleaner bass. Midrange clarity is enhanced by driver improvements that mean the DC blocking capacitor to be eliminated from the crossover, allowing a more natural roll-off between drivers.

This loudspeaker is a far more capable 2.5-way floor-stander than the compact size might suggest. Q550 has no problems delivering wide bandwidth and full scale soundstages with ease.

Full-length magnetic grilles are optional.
