KEF R500 Loudspeakers
Discontinued
The R500 is the smallest floorstanding loudspeaker model in KEF's renowned R series. Utilising the latest version of the specially developed Uni-Q driver array found with all models in KEF's R Series, the R500 matches with other models in the range to form the ultimate AV surround-sound home cinema system. In conjunction with the Uni-Q driver array, two 5.25-inch aluminium bass drivers act in unison to form a solid, rich and filling sound in both home cinema and in two-channel hifi applications.
KEF is a highly renowned, multi-award winning loudspeaker manufacturer, whose high-quality products can be found all over the world. They were founded in Maidstone, Kent in 1961 by electrical engineer Raymond Cooke, who was awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 1979. The KEF name comes from Kent Engineering & Foundry, who were previous occupants of the KEF site. The company have designed loudspeakers for the BBC, and have a vast range of products at many different price points.
KEF's R series features many of the prestigious speaker company's latest and most impressive innovation in premium high fidelity audio and home theatre loudspeaker technology. The R series takes authentic audiophile quality standards and brings them to a much more affordable price range. The range utilises KEF's latest Uni-Q driver array, combined with newly developed bass drivers and enhanced components throughout. This results in a wide and vast stereo image, complete with flawless accuracy that many reference level speakers from lesser brands are unable to achieve
