Kef HTS 5001.2 5.1 Home Theater - Craigslist $400 - MSRP $1,700 Average Guy HiFi Rating - 42/50 = 84% Demo: Dune 4K Menu (hopefully to stop copyright) https://www.dunemovie.com Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Dune-Ultra-Blu-ray-Digital-UHD/dp/B09MDHXGST/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=1Y60DKLO84P2Q&keywords=dune+4k&qid=1645768310&sprefix=dune+4k%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-3 What was included: KEF HTS5001.2 Qty - 5 & HTB2 Subwoofer Qty - 1 HTS5001.2 Type: Three-Way Frequency Range: 100Hz 30 kHz Amplifier Requirements: 10 - 100 watts Impedance: 8 ohms Sensitivity: 87 dB Drive Units: 1 x 3” UNI-Q midrange, .6” metal tweeter & 2 x 3” long throw bass drivers Dimensions (inches): 16.5” H x 3.46” W x 5” D Weight: 5 pounds HTB2 Woofer: 10” Active & 10” Passive RMS Power: 250 Watts Frequency Response: 30Hz - 300Hz Dimensions: 15.5” H x 17.25” W x 7.68” D Weight: 30.05 Pounds MSRP x5 Speakers & Subwoofer $1,700 Website Listed For Sale - Craigslist Where I Purchased - Met in a Home Depot Parking lot. Listed Price - $400 Price Paid - $400 Condition - 95% (not counted in the score) Quality - 9.0 This set of speakers oozes quality, as you would expect from KEF. The aluminum cabinets remind me of the Definitive Technology Mythos line, which is a very good thing in my book. The stands, binding posts, grills and wall mounts are all very high quality feeling. My main complaints are that the binding posts don’t accept my banana plugs and the limited controls on the subwoofer. Other than those two items, I was very impressed with the quality of this set. Sound - 8.0 This set did a very good job filling my small room with sound. The Uni-Q drivers did a good job blending into the room and the highs were detailed and crisp. However, set would get lost in larger rooms, especially the subwoofer. Overall, this set was just lacking some of the impact and dynamics I’ve become accustomed to. Still a very good sounding system, in small to medium sized rooms. MSRP Rating - 8.5 I couldn’t find the exact MSRP for the 5.1 package but it was very close to $1,700. For that price, this is a very good sounding system and it was built to high standards. Definitely worth the MSRP, considering the name brand. Aesthetics - 8.5 I really like the looks of this set. I’m assuming most people shopping for speakers like this, are probably mounting them on the wall but they are equally attractive sitting on the stands. They are large enough to look substantial but also small enough to not visually dominate the room. Nice and modern looking system! Price Paid Value - 8.0 Not my best deal ever but easily worth more than the $400 I have tied up, into this set. The next owner will be getting another good deal on a great set of speakers:) Average Guy HiFi Rating - 42/50 = 84% Other Equipment Used: Receiver- Lexicon RV-6 TV - LG C9 OLED 65” Blu-ray Player - Xbox One X Surge Protection - Panamax M5400-PM Subwoofer - Velodyne DD12BG Fans - AC Infinity T10 x2 Speaker Wires - MediaBridge speaker and subwoofer cables Subscriber Count At The Time Of This Video - 6,945
