KEF Instant Theatre, Smaller Home Cinema

The KEF Instant Theatre, or KIT, systems aim to deliver all the delight of the home cinema experience without the complex cabling or set-up. Using virtual surround sound via NXT, the KIT is reduced in size and complexity without loss of quality.

The all-in-one KITs contain two or five loudspeakers, a subwoofer with integrated amplifier and a DVD/CD player with HDMI technology. Available in matt silver of high gloss black finishes, the units are connected with a single cable connection to deliver great surround sound even from just two speakers.

There are several KITs, the 120, 140, 160, 510, 520, 530, 540 and 550, and they range in price from £1199.99 to £2499.99 for the KIT550 which boasts four midrange / bass drivers per speaker and KEF bass extension optimising technology. And if those prices haven't made you sweat, then you might want to keep an eye out for the 570w and 580w coming soon, which have wearless rear speakers.
