KEF T101 Satellite Speaker - Black (Pair)

I have been buying the Kef setup piece by piece over the years. I started with the center channel 301c, and added the front 301's last year. Caught these on a big sale from amazon and picked these up to finish my surround sound (i passed on the sub from Kef, only because i like what i have now).These speakers obviously look great on the walls...the slim profile makes it look like a flat panel TV or picture. But the most important thing is the sound and these particular speakers are top quality. The highs and lows are great, and the sound quality is very crisp and clear.Size wise, these are exactly what i would expect from a rear surround speaker. Since the rears dont cover the most action that is on a soundtrack, they do the trick great. Im not sure of the need for the larger 301's for the back, unless you have a large room and are a real audiophile. These will do the trick in almost all cases out there.

Wow - I see some people really hating on these speakers. The worst thing is the price. Otherwise, for the size, they sound quite good. I'm using them for surrounds in a setup with Sonus Faber front and center and a REL sub. They are not full bandwidth speakers and using them alone and without a sub or mounted incorrectly will probably sound bad. For their designed purpose, an unobtrusive wall mounted speaker in a surround setup, they do a great job.

I purchased 4 of these very thin speakers for my stereo system. They sound very loud and very good. Very easy to mount on any flat surface. I mounted mine to the sides of my subwoofer and front of my tower speakers with Velcro. They are very light in weight and versatile. They are not cheap but worth the price. Very satisfied.

I'd prefer to give these 5 stars for home theater; 3 1/2 to 4 for music only. The good: Attractive, nice stands, easy to install on the wall. Great for home theater considering their size and price. When used with a good subwoofer in a small to mid size room, they produce high-quality, lively, full-bodied sound. Less good: 1. I sometimes feel they could use more clarity with voices, though the problem might be with the source material. 2. For 2 channel music, I recommend them primarily for low volume listening. If pushed to fill the room, they can sound brittle, especially with female voices and brass.I presently use the KEFs with a REL subwoofer, which works best with speakers that have a flat response to 80hz or below. The best crossover point I found between the REL and KEFs is at 100hz. The ideal subwoofer for the KEFs would likely have low extension comparable in depth and quality to the REL, but with an ability to crossover at 120hz or slightly higher.

Speakers work well as satellites. I would not use the for the front. They fit close to the wall, and white blends well.Just a bit pricey.

Not much presence for audio listening. Go with Klipsch if your wife allows black speakers. Satisfactory sound for such a small form factor. Happy wife, happy life.

35mm Thin. These things sound GREAT and can get really really loud. They don't have much bass at all so make sure you use it with a subwoofer.Easy to install, comes with Allen wrenches and bookshelf stands, along with wall mounts and wall mounting guides. The angle on the stands isn't much, but with the height to base ratio, it would have fallen over if you had angled it upward more than the 10ish degrees it allows you to do.

This speaker looks and sounds amazing, especially for its size and profile. I just purchased these for the rears in our surround system, but it's making me seriously consider replacing our full-range L/C/R speakers with the larger T301's... they really do look that good on the wall.While the speakers come with handy wall mount brackets, I was surprised and disappointed to discover that no mounting *hardware* (screws or drywall anchors) were included! I thought maybe it was just an oversight for the box I received, but sure enough on the instructions it specifically notes that you'll need to provide your own screws and anchors. Pretty strange and disappointing (for a product that's billed as being installed on the wall) to not include that hardware in the package.
