When you buy your first audiophile loudspeakers,you expect a lot
- and rightly so.When you first hear a favourite track through a
pair of KEF’s new Cresta speakers, we think you’ll be genuinely
amazed. Designed by the same engineers as KEF’s legendary
Reference Series, Cresta is the product of three generations at
the forefront of high end loudspeaker technology - and an R&D
capability that’s second to none. Every model features KEF’s
famously smooth 25mm (1”) silk dome Ferrofluid-cooled tweeter,
which gives high notes a spine-tingling immediacy and brings
vocals to life.Together with long-throw bass/midrange drivers and
audiophile quality crossovers, the result is fluid response right
across the frequency range.
Inside, KEF’s unique diagonal bracing system virtually eliminates
the panel resonance that so often distorts the clarity of budget
speakers; outside, the chamfered cabinet edges minimise
unwanted diffraction effects. And unusually for speakers of this
price, all Crestas can be bi-wired to improve performance
even further.

”) long-throw bass/midrange driver.The MF/LF
driver is the perfect match for the cabinet volume,
integrating seamlessly with the tweeter to create a detailed
sound image over a wide listening area.
An easy load for any amplifier, Cresta 10 has the understated good looks of the
rest of the range, with soft-edged cabinets finished in Black Ash, Maple or
Dark Apple.
Cresta 20c
Cresta 20c is a rear ported bass reflex centre channel
speaker partnering the same 25mm (1”) Ferrofluid-
cooled tweeter with twin 100mm (4”) long-throw
bass/midrange drivers. Faultlessly integrated through
the critical mid-band frequencies, this configuration brings on-screen dialogue
right into the room. Bi-wirable, magnetically shielded and slim enough to fit
unobtrusively above or below the TV, Cresta 20c is perfectly timbre-matched to
the Cresta range.
Cresta 30
Flagship of the range, Cresta 30 is a rear ported bass reflex
floorstanding design. The elegant cabinet is extensively diagonally
braced to eliminate ‘box coloration’, and improve sound quality.
With 100W power handling and 90dB sensitivity,Cresta 30 is capable
of creating an intricate sound stage that reveals a wealth of previously
unheard musical subtleties, whether you own a budget system or
expensive separates.
Bass extension is finely weighted and astonishingly powerful from the
Cresta 30,thanks to the superb sensitivity and roll-off characteristics of
its 130mm (5

accomplished all-rounder that offers incredible value for money.
