KEF KHT3005SE Pro Reviews

So, to answer the original question, the KHT3005SE is a package that can still hold it's head up against the younger upstarts. In material terms, it is superbly screwed together and it's finish is the equal of any compact sub/sat package, I've ever tested, regardless of price. They feel like they'll last forever and in terms of looks, they look as tasty as anything on the market, with a simplicity of form that won't date. Sound wise, they are still competitive, with class leading refinement, if not quite excitement. However, not everybody watches high octane action and for everybody else there are other solutions required. Clear dialogue, with a swelling rendition of the film's score and an expansive delivery of a film's foley effects, probably reflects 90% of film watchers needs and a good deal more of a TV watchers experience. Just this very night, I watched Accused on BBC HD and was struck by the realism of the sound of handcuffs in the opening seconds. To clear that one up, my father was a policeman and I used to play with his handcuffs as a child, you weirdos. The point is, that unique, damped metallic crackle is a familiar sound and the KHT3005SE's delivered it without an over emphasised metallic edge, that may be favoured by some and was thus, all the more realistic.
