Recalling the Lyre shape and at the same time offering a solution that ensures no internal parallel surfaces, the cabinet is characterized by its curved walls which eliminate internal resonances. The 29mm tweeter with its silk dome guarantees the dispersion of sound, providing a natural timbre yet capable of very detailed performance. The front section of Center also holds 2 active mid-woofers with Curve cones and a baffle set apart by its curved lines which produce a decidedly live sound and perfect integration between the driver and the cabinet.

The REFERENCE 1 pairs KEF's latest 5 inch MF/HF Uni-Q driver array with the sensational new 6.5 inch alloy cone bass driver to create a compellingly realistic sound stage. Mounted on shelves or stands, Uni-Q's inherently wide, even dispersion also makes it the perfect rear channel speaker in a home theatre system that effortlessly reveals all the subtleties encoded in modern soundtracks. The REFERENCE 1's cabinets are designed to eliminate coloration and come in your choice of deep piano black, luxury gloss rosewood, or satin american walnut. All our hardwood cabinets are made from real hardwood and built specifically for you.
