Walnut Q Series - In Use

Marlboro, NJ – July 17th, 2019 – KEF proudly announces the addition of a stunning walnut finish to the award-winning Q Series speaker range. Showcasing a modern and versatile design, the Walnut finish combines elegance with signature features from the 8th generation Q Series, and will be available to pre-order starting today.

Walnut Q Series - Floor Standing Speakers

The walnut satin matte finish rounds out a line whose clean design and sonic performance has made the Q Series an industry leader in the category. With black, white and now walnut models, the Q Series can be seamlessly added to any home décor style, delivering exceptional aesthetic appeal and highly sophisticated and accomplished sound performance well beyond what consumers have come to expect from products at a similar ‘mid-price’ point.

The 8th generation Q Series boasts a huge number of acoustic innovations and enhancements that make it the most accomplished Q Series range yet. KEF’s signature Uni-Q driver has been enhanced by adding a new damped tweeter loading tube, significantly enhancing performance in the lower treble, and a new, low-distortion inductor on the crossover provides the new Q Series speakers with even cleaner bass. The Q Series also boasts a seamless baffle and magnetic grilles for a beautiful, clean look with or without the optional sonically neutral grille. Available now in walnut, black or white – the Q Series delivers even greater performance, value and owner satisfaction than ever before.
