Niet minder bieden a.u.b. Ik reageer daar niet op dark apple zitten mooie standers bij voor de kleinere 2 speakers alleen overmaken dus ik neem geen contant geld aan wegens slechte ervaringen ! Reserv
A new pair of these sat well above today’s used market, so €900 asks a lot versus the recent comparable range: the €448 median and €450 75th percentile put this clearly on the ambitious side. At that level, it needs to be unusually clean, fully original, and ideally come with boxes, grilles, and verified single-owner history to make sense.
That said, the Q5 is a respected KEF floorstander with smooth imaging, tidy midrange, and the kind of balanced presentation that works well for both music and film. When they’re in good shape, they’re an easy speaker to live with and a serious step up from entry-level towers, but at €900 the value really hinges on condition and completeness more than the model name.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
