Reviews of the KEF FiveTwo Series Model 11 (black)

CNET Review
The Good: Beautifully styled and engineered 2.0-channel virtual surround speaker system; each speaker has 11 drivers; KEF's advanced Uni-Q drivers deliver razor-sharp imaging while the side-mounted NXT flat-panel speakers produce surround sound; designed to work with any A/V receiver.
The Bad: The matching KEF HTB2 subwoofer adds $799 to the already expensive system price; proprietary 16-foot speaker cables could limit placement options in larger rooms and custom install settings; sparse instruction manual belies the time and effort that needs to be invested for optimal sound.
The Bottom Line: While their surround effects fall a bit short of the best we've heard, KEF's beautifully crafted FiveTwo Series Model 11 speakers produce five channels of sound with exceptional audiophile-grade clarity.
