KEF unveils Q50a Dolby Atmos speakers

Adding to its array of Q Series speakers, KEF has announced the Q50a: an upfiring, Dolby Atmos-compatible surround speaker, which will bring an extra dimension to your home cinema sound (provided you have a compatible amp and suitable content).

KEF has used a light cone return, improved spider suspension, and a new kind of neck decoupler to "create excellent dynamics with a supremely accurate, fast, and clean sonic response".

It's a bold claim, but if their performance is as good as the company's Q350 speakers - which use similar Uni-Q driver technology - you won't find us complaining.

Priced at £450 per pair, the KEFs are available to buy now.
