The XQ-20 boasts the same large Uni-Q driver as the flagship XQ40 in a stand mount format, so its mid and treble performance envelope is similarly impressive.
With KEF's sophisticated elliptical dome tweeter mounted in the acoustic centre of the bass/midrange cone, the latest Uni-Q® array with ‘tangerine' waveguide disperses an uncannily accurate sound image throughout the room with startling clarity, so you have far greater freedom of positioning. Bass extension is as generous as it is well defined, thanks to an ultra-low-distortion bass/midrange driver in a massively braced reflex-ported enclosure.

Respect is what the XQ-40 commands. Not just because it sounds as assertive as it looks, but because of the uncanny illusion of presence it creates.
Flanked by a pair of 165mm (6.5in.) ultra-low distortion LF drivers for exceptionally fluid bass response, the individually pair-matched Uni-Q® midrange/HF array floods even the largest space with an intricately detailed sound image, irrespective of where you happen to be sitting.

The centre channel is the most important speaker in any surround sound home entertainment system, which is why the three-way XQ-50C is so lavishly specified.
Like the XQ30 floorstander, the 130mm (5.25in.) central Uni-Q® midrange/HF array incorporates the sophisticated elliptical metal dome tweeter and new ‘tangerine' waveguide that reproduces any vocals with such unerring accuracy. On either side, a pair of KEF's renowned 130mm (5.25in.) bass drivers in their own dedicated enclosures deliver the hefty frontal slam that brings on-screen action right out into the room.
