The ACE stands for Acoustic Compliance Enhancement, the proprietary technology KEF uses to create a big bass sound from ultra-slim speakers by making each cabinet enclosure respond as if it were much larger. Their Selecta-mount system incorporated in the satellite and center channel speakers also promises to correct for any variation in audio response that occurs when a speaker is mounted on a wall instead of a free-standing location. Contacts in the speaker’s back panel differ for each type of mount, fine-tuning the speaker to sound best for its position.

The KHT 6000 ACE packs these features in its sophisticated, ultra-slim silver exterior designed to match the latest flat-screen plasma and LCD displays. Its sleek design should prove easy to integrate into your home theater decor. The system is compatible with 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 configurations with each speaker retailing for $499.99.
