Hi Guys,
Though the DEF TECH's are discrete and musical (subjectional), the KHT2005 offers more in the way of system integration, they are fully compatable with the Sony DVD/AMP combo and deliver seemless frequency range.
Many sub/sat packages tend to miss vital midrange frequencies due to the lack of dynamic range, whereas the KEF's have been developed with full range integration in mind. The sats cut off at an amazing 80Hz, which is the crossover point of the sub, so no missing midrange.
All the sats are made from cast alluminium and incorporate the smallest ever UNI-Q driver array, this alone delivers a much wider listening window compared to conventional speakers. The sats are also very flexible in way of positioning not only because of the versatile mounting bracket, but also the UNI-Q (basically you can put them anywhere).
The sub carries a hefty 150watt amplifier that drives a downfiring 8" long throw bass driver, it also comes with a heavily braced cabinet (to eliminate box colouration) and a stylish glass top panel.
All in all the KEF2005 system has everything you want from excellent movie performance as well as superb stereo capabilities, they are also female freindly and stylish. KEF offer a five year manufacture warranty on the passive elements and 1 year warranty on the active parts, and they are also getting some awesome press.
Definately worth an audition!!
Cheers
