For now, I think KEF HTF 8003 rig offers front-channel performance that will really surprise both first-time home theater enthusiasts and veteran listeners alike. It doesn’t do surround sound, but its handling of front channel information is so good that I suspect many prospective buyers will happily forego surround channels (or perhaps buy a second HTF 8003 to handle rear-channel information). Stay tuned for the full review next month in The Perfect Vision.
