KEF XQ1 loudspeaker

3-way, 120W, 8 ohms, 89dB, 60 - 55000Hz The XQ range replaced the Monitor Series, offering a range of products that bridged the gap between the Q and Reference Series, featuring high performance along with modern, attractive styling. Distinctive for the curved, high gloss cabinet design and neat fitting aluminium baffles, the XQ series set a standard for looks and performance at its price level.

Careful crossover design ensured that the very best was obtained from the drive units and, together with a rigid cabinet structure, the result was a level of refinement that offered a significant performance increment over the equivalent Q-Series products.

XQ One was the bookshelf/stand-mounted design of the range. A 3-way system with a 165mm (6.5”) Uni-Q array and enhanced high frequency extension courtesy of the Reference Series Hypertweeter, which was mounted on the top of the cabinet.
