KEF XQ40
$2,000.00
Released August, 2008
The Pros:Better than average build quality, solid case design with attractive aesthetic. Very clear central image improves vocal quality. Good quality bass frequencies with a better than average minimum frequency, users do not necessarily need dedicated sub.
The KEF XQ40 is a floor standing speaker designed for the high-end audiophile market. It is similar in design and functionality to the KEF XQ30, but features two separate larger 6.5 inch drive units dedicated to providing mid and bass support, and a larger 6.5 Uni-Q unit with a 0.75 inch aluminum dome tweeter that provides clear and natural high frequencies up to 55kHz.

The larger driver size necessitates a larger cabinet profile 40.4 inches high, but it comes in the same finishes and the same magnetic shielding as the KEF XQ30.
