What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the KEF Q700 speakers for their exceptional sound quality and design. The Uni-Q driver array is consistently lauded for delivering precise imaging, remarkable clarity, and a natural, detailed soundstage perfect for long listening sessions. The overall audio experience is described as sophisticated and high fidelity. While the bass is deep, some users note it benefits from careful placement and strong amplification to maintain tightness.

Know before you buy
Ex-demo means these units were used in a showroom environment for demonstrations rather than being owned by a private consumer. They have seen less than 200 hours of total playtime, meaning the drivers are well-maintained and have plenty of life remaining.
The Uni-Q driver places the tweeter in the acoustic center of the midrange cone. This design creates a single point source, which results in more precise imaging and a wider soundstage, ensuring the audio remains consistent even if you aren't sitting perfectly centered between the speakers.
While the Q700s are floorstanding units, their design focuses on controlled, undistorted bass. As long as you have enough floor space to allow them to breathe away from the walls, they can perform well in medium-sized rooms without overwhelming the space with resonance.
The Q700s feature dedicated bass drivers designed to deliver powerful, low-frequency output on their own. For most music listening, you will likely find the bass response sufficient, though home theater enthusiasts may still choose to add a subwoofer for deep cinematic effects.
The English Walnut finish is a high-quality veneer that should be treated like fine furniture. Simply dust the cabinets regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or placing them in direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.
