Product Description
As one of the world's thinnest high performance home theater systems, the new T305 system combines several landmark innovative driver technologies incorporated into cabinets only 35mm thin. With KEF's new T Series speakers, you get exceptionally slim profile speakers that generate all the intricacy, spaciousness and dynamic range of a high end conventional design. With five deceptively compact model T301s as front and rear satellites as well as the centre channel, plus the discreet T-2 subwoofer, the T305 system is powerful enough to fill most normal rooms with a compellingly detailed 3D sound image.As easy to set up as they are on the eye, they make the perfect entry level surround sound system for the latest generation of flat screen TVs. A special wall mount bracket (included) has been designed for ease of installation without adding any more depth to the speaker itself. T301 Satellite Speakers Feature: Ultra-slim bass driver offering clean, forceful response that brings the action vividly to life, New large vented tweeter provides warm, natural sound that's so real you feel you're there, Can be mounted on the wall or on the included desk stand, wall bracket also included. Optional Floorstands sold separately, contain extra crossover components that tell the speaker its operating in free space and adjusts output by +3db

Burly Sounds Beautiful
By LWC
The first time I heard these speakers I was sold. KEF managed to create a beautiful looking thin line product that produces a clean, accurate and transparent sound equal to much more expensive systems. My living room is almost 20' square, has two large open doorways and large windows with little wall space. The sofa is against one wall at right angles to the front speakers, so I have a challenging setup. I started with the T205 system and quickly realized that the back speakers just weren't producing adequate sound. The extra $200.00 was well spent. KEF calls the sound from the T305 "burly" and that is an apt description. I drive the system at low power most of the time and it produces a deep full rich sound that fills the room.I didn't mount the speakers on the wall, instead I used the supplied stands to place them within six inches of the wall so that they have the resonance necessary to fill the room. Driving them is an Onkyo HT-RC160, not the most powerful receiver, but it sturdily delivers the power the speakers need with low to no distortion. Any system can play loud, but to get deep rich sound at low sound levels is a treat. As KEF says, these are "exceptionally slim profile speakers that generate all the intricacy, spaciousness and dynamic range of a high end conventional design".Many satellite systems I looked at produced painfully bright highs to compensate for lack of dynamic range, and the bass was muddy and the subwoofers seemed non-existent or boomy. The T305 produces bright highs and deep bass while maintaining a clear and mellow midrange. Classical music is not tinny, jazz is not muddy, rock and rap come through without rasping. Blu-Ray disks play clean powerful sound, and the subwoofer, which only puts out 250 watts shakes the whole apartment. I get great HD sound without a spendy price.I buy speakers every ten to twenty years, so I do a lot of research and agonize over the purchase. I spend less time buying a car, and I have owned more cars than speaker systems. I expect this system to last me for many years to come.

By winston S
We must confess that these speakers were bought for their looks and after reading the above review.Of course they compliment our large flat screen beautifully but what was surprising was the depth ofsound which they produced. From highs to deep base we have no complaints.So we now have the best of both worlds. At the right price, our Kef T305 surround sound system lookslike nothing else we can name and sound superior to the larger and more expensive systemswe have heard.Without a doubt, we recommend this surround sound system to everyone in the market for a new audio visualexperience.The Sandifords
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.Perfect modern and clean
By Erick
This is a beautiful speaker system to "hang" on you wall if you don't mind some drilling to hide the speaker wires and maintain a clean appearance. The speaker are simple to install and as a plus you have the added option with the included speaker stand/feet to place them on the floor (still attractive but not as seamlessly elegant). They sound great with clear and powerful mid-range, as is the bass from the sub-woofer. Be aware that the sub-woofer is powered (i.e. needs a power outlet nearby) which may limit your placement, but this is a common concern with sub-woofer placement. Movies sound excellent and clean, as does music coming from these speakers. Perfect accompaniment with flat wall-mounted monitors
