I'm trying to figure out which Kef Uni-Q generations were used in which speaker series based on their announcement dates and further info.
Kef Uni-Q website shows a current timeline...but with missing speakers to get the full picture.
Sorted by Announcements Dates:
Generations 1-7, from 1988-2006:
- I'm not interested since those speakers are too old.
Generation 8, in 2007:
Generation 9, in 2009:
Generation 10, in 2010:
Generation 11, in 2014:
Generation 12, in 2018:
Generation 12 with MAT (aka Meta), in 2020:
