- RMS Power: 130 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
- Peak Power Handling: 130 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
- Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 58 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 28 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

Great Sound for Audio & Video
It’s been 20 years since I had to purchase floorstanding speakers (that’s why you should invest in high end speakers). My front speakers finally died, so I was looking for quality speakers to pair with my 7.1 setup. I did have size constraints, as my equipment is all built into the wall, and I didn’t want to have to bring a contractor in. The width of speakers are dramatically smaller from what they were, so height was my issue. KEF has a great reputation, but for the reasons I mentioned above, I had to go with the Q550’s. I was concerned that these speakers are the entry level in the Q series, that I would be losing out on the sound quality that I’m use to. I have to say that I’m truly impressed with the sound as relates to both audio and video. I have read some reviews that the bass was a little bit to be desired, but after breaking in the speakers (a must for all high end speakers) I think the lows were fine, even when my subwoofer is turned off. The mids and highs were crisp and clear, especially when listening to music. Bottom line, before I purchased the 550’s, I really thought I was going to be disappointed, but after putting these speakers through their paces, I was glad to be proven wrong.

Terrific speakers!
These guys pack a punch. Had a lot of trouble deciding which speakers to go for, but I'm very happy with the KEFs. Very clear and great power (without being overwhelming)

Amazing sound from the KEF Q550
The KEF Q550 produces an amazing sound stage for a smaller tower speaker. They are efficient and look great as well. They sounded great with all types of music. They are well worth the price.
