Product Description
Let's say that you're not willing to mortgage your house or forgo sending the kiddies to college in order to buy a speaker package that'll rock the socks off the entire block. It's not that you lack commitment or desire, but that you know your priorities. KEF has designed a speaker that will allow you to have your cake and eat it too -- the iQ5 floorstanding loudspeaker. With Kef's proprietary Uni-Q Array -- featuring a 0.75" aluminum-dome, high-frequency driver at the acoustic center of a 5.25" titanium-coated, midrange cone -- as well as a 5.25" long-throw, low-frequency driver, the iQ5 will leave no room unrocked, even if that room happens to be in your next door neighbor's house.

Full-Range Speaker Without Having To Empty Your Wallet November 18, 2006

A Full-Range Speaker Without Having To Empty Your Wallet
A compact, full-range floorstander, the iQ5 is a true three-way speaker. With KEF's new 5.25" long-throw LF driver delivering superbly defined bass, the midrange driver of the 5.25" Uni-Q point source array is dedicated to reproducing midrange frequencies with even greater clarity. High order crossovers ensure seamless transitions between each driver, and with Uni-Q's remarkable off-axis dispersion characteristics, you get a speaker that's as easy to place as it is rewarding to hear -- especially for enjoying the richness and complexity of modern digital formats. Ideal for use with iQ1 and iQ2c in a home cinema system, it's a superbly assertive performer for the modest size of its slender cabinet and outstanding value if you aspire to genuine audiophile standards of sound reproduction.
Acoustic Intelligence
Acoustic intelligence -- that?s the best way to describe what KEF engineers have applied to create their newest line of iQ floorstanding speakers. From the second you spot the soft sheen of titanium on the Uni-Q Array driver cones, you know you?re in for something special. And you won?t be disappointed. Restless, despite being one of the best, KEF has made improvements to every aspect of its trademark Uni-Q technology. With new cone materials and surrounds. Redesigned magnet structures. New, state-of-the-art voice coils. Higher specification components. More rigid chassis and cabinets. The result of all these innovations is plain to hear. Power handling and sensitivity are better than ever. iQ plays loud and true, with even clearer vocals than its illustrious predecessor. Even gutsier and more tightly controlled bass. And, of course, the impeccable extended bandwidth response you need to get the most out of the latest digital audio and home theatre formats. As every model in the range is voiced for a perfect tonal match, the 3-D soundscape is so seamlessly integrated that everyone in the room gets the full benefit, wherever they sit. Breathtaking is the only word to describe it.

That product overcame everything that I imagined.
I made a change for my B&W DM602 S1, of the which I should say that I liked a lot.
But I liked enough of the emblem of those speakers and of the level of details.
I am using a Receiver Denon AVR-2106 now and the synergy is quite good.
I have plans of increasing an integrated amplifier, probably Roksan Kandy LIII and leaning that will still be better.
I recommend the KEF iQ5 strongly.
