KEF IQ9 brown

The KEF iQ9 is, overall, an impressive performer for its size and price, with a wealth of strengths over a broad range of program material that suggests a much more expensive speaker

The magnetically shielded, biwirable iQ9 uses a 6.5" titanium-coated polypropylene-cone midrange unit to cover the 280Hz–2.8kHz range. It also has two 6.5" low-frequency drivers, each in its own housing with its own front-loaded port, to minimize crosstalk. This use of two voice-coils and smaller drivers is intended to increase the iQ9's speed, articulation, and power handling, and the smaller woofers permit a narrower baffle, which in turn permits a smaller footprint—which, per KEF, improves the imaging. Finally, the vertical driver-port-driver-port array is intended to spread the bass-radiating area, thus minimizing the excitation of vertical room modes, according to KEF's chief of design, Dr. Andrew Watson.
