The KHT2005 system dominated the market for high performance, luxury finish sub-sat systems throughout the 2000s and continues to do so in its mark 3 form. The natural evolution of that product was the KHT3005, which has since proceeded to make its own equally formidable impact on the market.
Key to the product’s success is the drive unit technology. The ribbed polypropylene cone of the Uni-Q adds sufficient stiffness to ensure that it moves as a simple piston – without any bending motion, so that the response is smooth and with minimal distortion. The result is a very detailed midrange which, when integrated with the precise treble of the aluminium dome tweeter, clearly displays the benefits of the Uni-Q principle: even tonal balance throughout the room and spacious, stable stereo imaging. The new 110mm(4.5”) Uni-Q also featured Sealed Suspension Technology to help maintain clean output despite the very high sound pressures that exist in small enclosures.
The two-way, reflex loaded, satellite speaker reflex, HTS3001, was matched by a larger centre speaker, HTC3001, designed to easily cope with the extra demands of the centre channel signal on typical movie and multi-channel soundtracks. The system was made complete with the new HTB2 subwoofer (see separate listing). The 3005 system was updated to the SE version in 2007.
