Upgraded from Sony flagship 7.1 soundbar to KEF R2C center and KEF R7 floorstanding fronts (and SVS SB 2000 Pro/powwred by Marantz Cinema 60. R2C is semless and does a nice job with dialog. Beautiful piece of furniture that is well built as well. Best grills on the market. No regrets with purchase.

I prefer Bowers and Wilkins to KEF with regards to sound but especially when it comes to design. A lot of their stuff just looks too tryhard and goofy to me. This is a more simple rendition of the design and it also sounds wonderful.

I got this $1200 Center Channel “open box”, for $150!! No way I was passing it up, could have easily resold it, but it sounds better than my other flagship Center channels…

Great Center

A GREAT center channel. The coaxial/concentric tweeter/mid-range throws a more even sound field over a wider area than the standard M-T-M configuration. Other notable points are a very good frequency response and non-ported so placement close to a wall or in a cubby is not problematic.
You'd be had pressed to find a better performer at this price point in my opinion especially when the item is on sale.

Fantastic Center Channel

Excellent center channel speaker for your home theater. Music sounds great through it as well if you like multi channel music listening. Vocals are clear from the highs to mids. Decent amount of bass as well if you are not planning on using a sub(center is not meant to play much bass though). This is a sealed enclosure for those that may need the info.

Loving this so far. I have had a few center channel speakers over the years but this one hands down is the best one I have had. Crystal clear dialogue without having it loud enough for the whole house to hear.

Bought this to match the R3 bookshelfs. Clean, clear sound. Excellent build quality...Voices and background sound are excellent and very detailed for movies. It makes for a wide soundstage set up. I would highly recommend this set up if you have a good reciever with clean power. I got on sale but would be hard pressed to buy at full price. I am a new KEF fan for sure especially when on sale.
