Furniture - KEF Speakers

It is generally accepted that your hi-fi or AV system will only sound its best when supported on a quality hi-fi stand or AV rack, designed to isolate it from noise and vibrations. Additionally, high quality speaker stands are essential for the best sound from bookshelf speakers and we always recommend using a dedicated wall shelf to isolate your turntable. Popular brands include Atacama, Partington and Quadraspire.


KEF is a British speaker manufacturer developing industry-leading products for over 50 years. KEF has received a host of awards and stellar reviews and currently offers a wide range of hi-fi speakers and AV speakers. 

The flagship KEF Blade and smaller KEF Blade 2 speakers are renowned for their excellence and superb reproduction, and their advanced pioneering technologies and Uni-Q Driver Array designs have filtered down into lots of KEF’s consumer-end products, such as the KEF LS50 wireless speakers.

In 1961, KEF was founded by Raymond Cooke OBE an ex-BBC Electrical Engineer and headquartered the company near Maidstone, Kent. The company was set on the banks of the River Medway in the premises of a former metal working company, Kent Engineering & Foundry. Overtime by experimenting with new technologies and materials, Cooke aimed to produce superior acoustic quality with recordings reproduced to the exact nature of the original performance. 

KEF became the first company to utilise the stability of Bextrene as a cone material, which has since been incorporated in many drivers for many leading audiophile speakers. Another major breakthrough a few years later, KEF became the first to design and test loudspeakers with computer modelling leading the industry in the digital analysis of speakers. Their revolutionary work resulted in KEF being able to match speaker pairs to within half a dB for flawless audio reproduction. 

KEF eventually went on to produce their signature technology, the Uni-Q point source driver array in the next decade using NASA-developed magnets that were ten times more powerful than conventional ones. KEF stayed ahead of the game in the nineties with the advent of 5.1 home cinema recording by creating the first dedicated centre speaker in the UK, the Model 100 benefiting from Uni-Q. 

Through the years, they have been developing impressive expertise in the use of advanced acoustical, magnetic and mechanical modelling techniques such as Finite Element Analysis resulting in an accuracy that was not previously achievable. Kept under wraps since the 1980s, KEF revealed their ACE technology in 2005 demonstrating the advantages of activated carbon inside a compact speaker enclosure and its effect on internal volume and bass extension.

Now five decades from the company’s inception, KEF's scientific innovation and hands-on experimentation cements their ultimate audiophile reputation and allows them to continue to lead in developing products ahead of the market. We stock the complete KEF range, from the multimedia range (that includes active speakers, headphones and earphones) to the Q series range, LS50 range, both the wired and wireless LS50, R series range, KEF Reference range and KEF Blade, along with custom install speakers and 5.1 speaker packages for a home theatre experience.

A piece of hi-fi or AV furniture isn’t just for keeping your equipment off the floor. Much of the wide range of furniture products we offer is a design statement in its own right, and something to be shown off. From real hardwoods and wood veneers, to coloured metals and high quality glass and metal speaker stands, many furniture products can truly be an attractive prospect.

For isolating and elevating bookshelf and standmount speakers, we offer a range of speaker stands, to suit every budget and taste. The purpose of a speaker stand is primarily to elevate a speaker so that the tweeter is at ear level when considered from the listening position. This ensures that a greater integration between complex mid and high frequencies is heard. A good quality, heavy speaker stand can also offer vast improvements to bass performance as it limits unwanted resonance and decouples the speakers from the floor.

We have a range of hi-fi and AV stands available, ideal for supporting your hi-fi and AV equipment, with AV stands capable of supporting a TV or display. Just like speaker stands, a good quality hi-fi or AV stand is able to isolate your equipment from interference and resonance, and offer sonic and performance improvements. We also have a range of hi-fi and AV furniture accessories, from replacement spikes to isolate your furniture from the ground, to speaker stand filler and floor protectors.
