A reference passive bookshelf - KEF's Uni-Q + Metamaterial tech delivers pinpoint imaging that punches into far pricier territory.
Big, lively, easy to drive: the horn-loaded tweeter and 6.5 inch woofer make a modest amp sound like a bigger one.
The second AE300 keeps the small-box, big-sound recipe and tightens it: a 120 mm paper cone, a 29 mm fabric dome, a bitumen-damped cabinet, and a What Hi-Fi award two years running.
