KEF Coda 8 Center Speaker

The speaker systems of Coda series, produced by the famous British KEF, differ not only by unusual location of drivers, but also by high sensitivity. More sensitive system, as a rule, illuminates an image deeper in dynamical sense, keeping for listener silent details in the array of loud sound. Although the body of Coda 8 doesn't seem to be too rigid, worry about extra overtones takes a back seat in the face of powerful, with light lacquered diaphragm of woofer - and it's not for nothing. We can definitely say many warm words about the bass of Coda 8. High accuracy of low sound with the great dynamical potential brings the value of permissible deficit of deep bass to nothing. Slightly hard intonations in the voice of Coda 8 define its "taste preferences": modern dynamical music, rock-n-roll. Drum low-frequency instruments are elaborated correctly, although in a slightly decreased scale. Relief double-bass is an elastic axis of jazz passages. Juiciness of MIDs lends certain variety: with a good fullness and intelligibility high vocal still seems to be too bright if you listen to it at high volume level and the role of basses subjectively decreases in overall balance of sound. Tops are "calm", quite accurate at any volume, but seem to be not very expressive, you probably want more freshness... Stereo space is stable (not depend on a listener's position), stage has depth, presence effect is convincing. Coda 8 plays all modern styles well, chamber classics - not bad.
