KEF

Hi-fi speakers

They look the part, but the sonic flaws of the iQ70s are significant in number

They're not without deficiencies to be overcome but, at this moment and at this price, the KEFs don't have too much competition

A long-established favorite made even better with a few detail tweaks and the inclusion of an all-new subwoofer

One of the few towers that can give equivalently priced standmounts a real scare

Superbly made, but this system clearly needs the added presence of a subwoofer – consider additional investment in this area essential

Great performance, looks and build, but after two years at the top, the KEF now faces some tough competition
