Purchased new from an authorized KEF dealer 3/1/11 and used for less than 50 hours, so they are about as close to brand-new as a “used” speaker can be. Although a rating of 10/10 would probably have been accurate, I've rated them 9/10 just to be conservative. Carton shows fabrication date of 11/2010. This is part of the completely redesigned KEF Q series, introduced late last year. There’s plenty of good information about the speakers and the technology at kef.com/us, including a very informative video (with details of the latest-generation Uni-Q driver and the clever knobs between the binding posts that you turn to select between biwiring or jumping the terminals).Some Specs:
Drive units: 6.5” aluminum Uni-Q with 1” aluminum dome tweeter; 6.5” aluminum LF; 2 x 6.5” aluminum bass resonators (passive radiators) Frequency response: 36 Hz – 40 kHz Amp requirements: 15 to 150 watts Sensitivity (2.83V/1m): 89 dB Max output (SPL): 112 dB Impedance: 8 ohms Shipping carton: 42” x 18” by 13” Shipping weight: 47 pounds per speaker Net weight: 38 pounds Dimensions (H x W x D): 36.2 x 8.3 x 11.9 inches Dimensions with plinth (H x W x D): 38.1 x 12.8 x 12.3 inches Finish: Dark Walnut (see KEF website) Includes manual, warranty card, feet, spikes, hardware, grilles, original cartons and packaging. Shipping only to the continental U.S. Note that shipping weight is for each speaker. Speakers have been in a smoking environment that is pet-free and child-free. Grilles have been kept sealed in plastic. Buyer pays shipping and PayPal fees (also will accept money order or cashiers check with waiting period for clearance). Thank you very much for looking. I’ll be glad to answer any questions. -Bob
