The satellites can play astonishingly loud, without sounding unpleasant. The distinctive ribs visible on the speaker cone improve rigidity. This makes for a clean, natural and dynamic midrange. Together with the other innovations, this helps to explain why the 3005SE system has won the coveted ‘Product of the Year’ award in the international magazine What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision for two years running.

The specially shaped curved aluminium enclosures make for an acoustically ideal housing. Simply put, the HTS3001 satellites sound much better than traditional rectangular loudspeakers. The addition of the 'tangerine' waveguide to the Uni-Q array increases the sensitivity of the upper HF creating better sound dispersion. The adjustment of the satellites' tweeter for better clarity and integration has resulted in a more rich and sensationally detailed sound quality. KEF’s 'sit anywhere' Uni-Q technology disperses sound around the room so well that you can 'sit anywhere' to enjoy the optimum surround experience. The radical new ‘Sealed Suspension Technology (SST) incorporated in the speaker driver makes for cleaner, smoother response.
