The KEF Q100 is a two-way bass-reflex bookshelf loudspeaker designed for stereo systems, smaller rooms, or use as a home-theater surround speaker. It uses KEF’s 130mm (5.25in) aluminium Uni-Q driver array with a 25mm (1in) vented aluminium-dome tweeter, providing wide, even dispersion from a point-source-like arrangement. Rated specifications include a 49Hz–40kHz frequency response (±3dB), 2.5kHz crossover frequency, 8-ohm impedance, 86dB sensitivity, 10–100W recommended amplifier power, and 107dB maximum output. Each speaker measures approximately 300 × 180 × 272mm and weighs 5.9kg. The Q100 includes bi-wire/bi-amp terminals with removable linking bars and was offered in finishes including Black Oak, European Walnut, and English Cherry. The model is discontinued.
