KEF KHT3005 SURROUND SOUND SPEAKER SYSTEM 5.1 Surround Speaker System These stunning silver egg shaped satellite speakers and similarly shaped centre speakers and unobtrusive round subwoofer sound absolutely magnificent. Read any review about these speakers and all you will hear is about how good they sound and how good they look. The system is made up of 4 satellite speakers, one centre speaker and a powered sub woofer. The speakers are made of cast aluminium .and finished in automotive grade finish in silver. They have KEF’s renowned Uni-Q driver placing the 0.75-inch aluminium dome tweeter
This is a fair-to-slightly-strong ask rather than a bargain: at A$600, it sits above the A$526 median but well below the A$1,120 75th percentile for recent AUD comparables. For a complete 5.1 surround package from a respected Kef line, that’s not out of line if the system is intact and ready to go.
The real appeal here is convenience and sound quality: these compact Kef theatre packages are well liked for easy placement, coherent multichannel imaging, and a polished, room-friendly presentation that can outperform a lot of no-name separates at similar money. Value improves a lot if it includes the matching sub, stands, mounts, and all speaker grilles/cables; if not, I’d want the price to lean a bit lower.

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.
