Floorstanding loudspeakers — KEF Q950

The Q950 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from KEF, sitting above the Q750 with extraordinary sensitivity and greater mass. The Q950 represents KEF's more accomplished current statement within the accessible Q-series floorstanding catalogue.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 44Hz to 28,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is an extraordinary 91dB into the standard 8 ohm load - higher than the Q750's 88dB. Recommended amplifier power spans 15-200W. At 106.2 x 24.4 x 32.8cm and 20.6kg, the Q950 represents a somewhat more substantial commitment than the Q750, reflecting KEF's more accomplished current engineering within this accessible series.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the extraordinary 91dB sensitivity, meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes readily from a wide range of amplification, consistent with KEF's broader accomplished engineering philosophy at an accessible price tier.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and extraordinary 91dB sensitivity make the Q950 compatible with a wide range of amplifiers.

Alternatives

KEF's own Q750 offers a more accessible alternative within the same broader Q-series floorstanding catalogue.
