We evaluated the HTB2 while testing the KEF FiveTwo Series Model 11 virtual surround speakers. The subwoofer's musical talents were immediately evident when we played jazz CDs with acoustic bass; the taut definition exhibited none of the boom we associate with compact subwoofers, so it was easy to hear the exact pitch of each note. The Superman Returns DVD required a different set of subwoofer virtues--and the thundering scene with the space shuttle came through loud and clear on the HTB2. The subwoofer also went deeper into the low bass in our large home theater--below 35Hz--than any similarly sized subwoofer we can remember.
To sum up, the KEF HTB2 subwoofer offers a great combination of unusually high style and excellent performance. It's a worthy match for KEF's equally impressive FiveTwo and Home Theatre series speakers.
