Lautsprecher Kef XQ one.
Zustand sehr gut.

€100 is a strong buy if the pair is complete and working cleanly; a current private listing shows the same model at €200, so this asking price is well below that and sits in bargain territory. That makes it the kind of used hi-fi deal worth moving on quickly, not haggling over.
The upside here is the speaker’s reputation: the XQ series is well liked for refined, detailed sound with a more upscale finish than many mainstream KEFs, and the XQ1/XQ family also tends to attract buyers who know what they’re after. At €100, the main thing to confirm is basic completeness, driver health, and cabinet condition, because if those are fine, this is a very attractive entry into a respected model.

KEF traces its roots to 1961, when British engineer Raymond Cooke founded the company in a modest Nissen hut on the grounds of the Kent Engineering and Foundry in Maidstone, England. A former BBC engineer and Wharfedale veteran, Cooke was driven by a passion for music and a commitment to technological innovation, aiming to reproduce sound as faithfully as the original performance. From its inception, KEF pioneered materials like foil-stiffened polystyrene diaphragms and Melinex tweeters in its debut K1 loudspeaker, setting a benchmark for engineering precision that propelled the brand to early acclaim.
KEF has long specialized in loudspeakers, establishing itself as a leader with iconic innovations such as the Uni-Q coaxial driver and computer-aided design techniques that revolutionized driver and enclosure development. While drive units supplied to other manufacturers fueled its growth, the brand's core output remains high-fidelity speakers across categories like floorstanders, bookshelves, and home theater systems, including early THX-approved setups. Active wireless models and reference-grade series extend its portfolio, though it eschews amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Renowned for its science-driven heritage, KEF occupies a premium position in the hi-fi market, blending accessible high-end performance with cutting-edge technology. Collectors prize vintage BBC monitors and Bextrene-driver classics, while modern buyers seek its precise, natural soundstaging. Decades of awards affirm KEF's status as a respected innovator, appealing to discerning audiophiles who value engineering over hype.
