KEF KHT-3005se unique LCR setup - superb complete front soundstage

This is for three speakers - starting with a matched pair of center speakers from the KEF KHT3005SE system that I bought about 2 years ago and used for about 6 months as mains in a home theater setup. Even though they were more expensive than simply using the smaller speakers from the 3005 setup, I chose them as the mains because they have a much more robust sound, due to the passive radiators that mate with the UNI-Q driver, making them sound much fuller than the satellites. Plus, they look pretty cool, I have to say.

The third speaker they are matched with is a center speaker from KEF's 5005 series. The whole 3-speaker package is $299, which is far less than what they sell for anywhere else (the 3005s are on sale at accessories4less for $250 each). They sound great, and are cosmetically in excellent condition. I have been needing to downsize, so am selling these, although I love their detailed sound. They were equally good with music and HT, and provide a much better midrange reproduction that the 2005 or 3005 satellites, again due to their dual midrange drivers along with the main UNI-Q driver. I have taken very good care of them. The 3005s have attached stands/wall mounts from a previous set of KHT2005s, which work perfectly with these, and could easily be painted black to match the speaker cabinets. I will include a regular wall mount for the 5005 center if wanted.

Some info from KEF
Carrying up to 60% of the sound, the centre channel is vital in any home theatre system, and the new dedicated centre speaker, HTC3001SE, is in a class of its own. This is why our engineers have made it bigger than the HTS3001SE satellites. With increased power handling for extra "slam" and superior dialogue reproduction, the twin 75mm (3in.) bass drivers give the necessary frontal impact; all-important when watching a movie. ‘Sit anywhere’ Uni-Q® technology assures perfect timbre matching to the HTS3001SE satellites. Furthermore, sound definition still remains crystal clear, even when not sitting immediately in front of, or not listening at the same height as the loudspeaker position. The crossover has been engineered to balance and match the satellites’ crossover resulting in a more detailed, balanced and brighter sound. Centre speakers are available individually or as part of the multi-award winning KHT3005SE 5.1 system consisting of 4 satellites, a centre speaker and a subwoofer.
