KEF E301 Satellite Speakers - Black/Satin

KEF has been my favorite loudspeaker since I went shopping with Dad for Mother's Christmas present, a new hi-fi stereo system in the early nineties. The Uni-Q design may be partially to credit as back then almost all of the speakers looked similar, black boxes of various sizes and prices. My father allowed me to choose within our price range and it was hands down the KEF speakers with Uni-Q. I think we listened to about a dozen competitors before choosing. None provided the true to life sound of the KEFs. It has been over twenty years now and Mom has handed them down to me still in near mint condition. I have married the love of my life and built a home that includes a dedicated media room. I purchased these speakers as wall mounted rears. I am extremely pleased with the overall experience when listening to music or watching a film. I have recommended KEF to family and friends looking for reliable, aesthetically appealing, true to life sound.

I bought these as surrounds to pair with some KEF Q100 bookshelf speakers. The highs and mids sound as good as the bookshelfs, but they are prett lacking in the lows. Definitely best for use with a sub or as surrounds.

Near field desk top use with computerExcellent imaging (Holographic) and sound stageHooked up to a receiver and subwoofer

Mids could be better. It's best use is to place them as rear surrounds. Even in the home theatre set up, would rather have bigger Kefs than E301. Beware of the fact that u cannot orient this as horizontal speaker, as all of these are only vertically placed. It's range is good. However does cannot replace a good central speaker. I tested B&W MM1 too before. E301 sound better

Great looks and superb sound. Would highly recommend. Make sure to get a subwoofer as well for the lower frequencies.

excellent sound

outstanding

Ich habe bereits ein KEF Setup zu Hause 2xQ700 und der passende Center Q600 als Rear Epos M5i die waren noch "übrig"Nun habe ich mir den Denon X4100 gekauft der vieles Besser macht als mein alter Yamaha A810 und wollte dafür noch ergänzende LS. Zuerst wollte ich sparen und habe mir verschiedene Cantons angehört, doch letztendlich ist die Technologie von KEF mit Ihrem Uni-Q unvergleichlich in Ihrem klang und harmoniert zusammen am besten. Nach dem Einmessen erwartete mich ein Theater, die Effekte aus Transformers 4 sind noch plastischer und man steckt noch mehr im Geschehen als zuvor.Dolby Atmos habe ich damit nicht versucht, weil ich rechts nur 20 Cm zur Dachschräge habe (gemessen von Q700?Die E301 sind, wie wohl auch das Komplett –Set E305, absolut zu empfehlen.
