Key specs that matter
KEF rates the response from 24Hz to 90Hz, and the internal amplifier delivers 1000W. The cabinet measures 39.8 x 36.5 x 42.9cm and weighs 34kg, a compact size for this amount of amplifier power.
Pairing
Standard subwoofer-level inputs connect the Reference 8b to any preamplifier or AV processor, so it can work under Reference series speakers in a two-channel system as well as in a home cinema.
Alternatives
The KEF Kube 15 MIE is a 15-inch powered subwoofer from the Kube MIE range with a 300W amplifier.
