They are also home to the best components of their generation, like their cabling that is manufactured in France. Utopia is an icon, and still streets ahead of the rest.

This adjustable 'Focus Time' function means you can achieve an absolutely perfect sound image based on the configuration of your room.

KEF was founded in 1961 by Raymond Cooke and was initially headquartered in a Nissen Hut on the premises of Kent Engineering & Foundry (from where the name KEF is derived) - a metal-working company on the banks of the River Medway, near Maidstone in Kent. Cooke, an ex-BBC Electrical Engineer, was keen to experiment with new materials and technologies in order to create products with superior acoustic quality that could reproduce recordings as natural as the original performance. From the very beginning, the pioneering inventiveness of KEF loudspeakers was undeniable and now for several decades, audiophiles around the world have revered KEF for its innovative, high-performance loudspeakers.

50 years of innovation in sound

Innovation is what sets KEF apart. It's why they've always attracted some of the world's most gifted acoustic engineers.

The results are plain to see, in long lists of breakthroughs that no other manufacturer can match - and they have the patents and academic papers to prove it. Right from the start, they pioneered the use of synthetic materials for diaphragms and driver surrounds to maintain consistent sound quality across the frequency range.

In 1982, Jerry VanderMarel, a seasoned veteran of consumer electronics and loudspeaker sales, teamed with Scott Bagby, a loudspeaker designer with a long history of innovative ideas. Together, they went back to the drawing board and developed a radical new speaker. To find the sweet spot, they tapped university audio researchers and detailed scientific findings from the audio studies conducted by the National Research Council of Canada.

The point was to achieve a level of performance that would erase the speaker itself from the equation. Pure, lifelike audio, uninhibited by coloration, unrestrained in its ability to translate power into sound. And to do it at a price that would allow anyone to experience this magic.

That tradition continues with the new Persona Series, by combining new technologies with smart engineering that provides astonishing performance at an incredible value – completely crafted in their Canadian facility.

Allen Boothroyd and Bob Stuart met in Cambridge, where they discovered shared interests and philosophies in audio equipment design. Their first collaboration was on the Lecson hi-fi system, a design so innovative that it’s now part of the permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. Says Allen, “The Lecson made the leap from something that was not merely acceptable as a piece of audio equipment, but was actually desirable as an objet d’art.” 

Meridian introduced the concept of the Digital Active DSP Loudspeaker more than 20 years ago and has been at the forefront of loudspeaker technological breakthroughs ever since. The DSP8000 is Meridian's flagship loudspeaker, and the Special Edition makes its performance even more awe-inspiring than before. One of the few loudspeakers available that can reproduce the sound of a full-size grand piano at realistic volume and with realistic dynamic range, the Meridian DSP8000SE takes this landmark loudspeaker even further with the full range of Special Edition enhancements.

The Sonance Invisible Series is the ultimate expression in architectural audio. Installed as an in-wall or in-ceiling speaker and then finished over with the surrounding surface, Invisible Series speakers deliver ambient music that emanates throughout the space with no visual footprint.

The goal of the Invisible Series products is to allow custom installation pros make the speakers truly disappear without compromising sound. The Sonance Invisible Series completely rewrites the rules, giving interior designers what they’ve been demanding for so long - preservation of the aesthetics of interior design - while freeing the audio system designer to choose speaker locations based purely on performance, rather than the visual demands of customers or designers.

Sonance Invisible Series speakers are finished over with the same material as the adjoining wall or ceiling surface, including regular drywall finishing compound and paint, wallpaper, wood veneer, or even venetian plaster. They don’t just blend into the wall or ceiling, they become part of it.

Sound not sight.

Sonance speakers deliver unbelievable sound quality, without any visible signs of a speaker. The space is filled with breathtaking music that seemingly comes from nowhere. Stop by The Audio Store for more details or to view our demo kit of the Sonance in-wall speakers Contact Us today.
