Every September, KEF runs its “SUBtember” sale. Usually, the sale consists only of subwoofer deals. However, for 2023, KEF has decided to include a few compact speakers into the mix, specifically the Q150 and Q350 Bookshelf speakers as well as the award-winning LS50 Wireless II Speakers. Let’s check out the deals.
KEF Q350 & Q150
The KEF Q350 and Q150 bookshelf speakers incorporate KEF’s 11th-generation Uni-Q driver technology with a minimalist design. The speakers feature a rear port (bass reflex) for extended low-frequency response (don’t place them against the wall). Both speakers include dome tweeters, and aluminum woofers, and offer a rather amplifier-friendly 8 ohms impedance.
