The KEF XQ20 is a compact bookshelf speaker that offers a blend of high-quality sound and aesthetic design. It features KEF's signature Uni-Q driver array, where the tweeter is positioned in the center of the midrange driver. This design aims to produce detailed and accurate sound across a wide listening area. The enclosure is constructed using rigid materials to minimize resonances and maintain clarity in audio playback. The XQ20 is particularly praised for its ability to reproduce high frequencies with precision, while also providing a rich midrange and controlled bass response. The frequency response ranges from 58 Hz to 40 kHz, allowing it to cover a broad spectrum of sound. The speakers can handle a power of up to 100 watts and have a sensitivity of approximately 86 dB, making them compatible with a variety of amplifiers and audio setups. Additionally, the design includes visually appealing finishes such as high-gloss veneer that complements various interior styles.
