Best Holiday Speaker Deals: KEF, Klipsch, ELAC

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us, some great deals on high quality speakers are still out there for those in search of excellent sound on a budget.

KEF Q150 Bookshelf Speakers in White

Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2022 are in the rear mirror, but there are still a few hot deals remaining on high quality speakers as of November 30, 2022, including towers, bookshelf speakers and home theater speaker systems.

KEF Budget Bookshelf

You can still pick up a nice pair of KEF’s Q150 bookshelf speakers for the lowest price we’ve ever seen: $299.99/pair with free shipping. That’s 50% below the normal list price of $599/pair. The Q150 bookshelf speakers have been a critical and budget audiophile favorite since they were introduced in 2017. Pair them with a nice vintage integrated amp or a budget receiver and you’ve got yourself a great starter HiFi kit for not a lot of money.

KEF Q150 Bookshelf Speakers in Black
The KEF Q150s are available in black, white and walnut finishes.

The Q150 features KEF’s concentric Uni-Q tweeter/woofer combo driver. It’s a 1-inch tweeter paired with a 5.25″ woofer. This design maintains phase alignment among high, mid and low frequencies. The net effect is an extended, even frequency response with excellent imaging capabilities. KEF rates the frequency range at 51 Hz to 28 kHz. The sensitivity is rated at 86 dB, which is fairly typical for a speaker of this size and design. The speakers present a nominal 8-ohm load which makes them very easy to drive, even for a budget receiver or integrated amp.

Klipsch Reference Cinema Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 Speaker System

Ideal for a budget immersive home theater system, the Klipsch Reference Cinema 5.1.4 system is currently selling for under $360. The system has everything you need (from a speaker perspective) to deploy a full 5.1.4-channel system featuring Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Just pair it with a nice Dolby Atmos receiver and you’re good to go. The system includes up-firing drivers in both the front and rear speakers to provide overhead sound by reflecting off the ceiling.

The Klipsch Reference Cinema 5.1.4 can do immersive sound in 5.1.2 or 5.1.4 channel systems: Just add a receiver.

For a receiver, we’d recommend the Denon AVR-S760H receiver ($499 street price) for a 5.1.2 system (just don’t connect the rear height inputs) or the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX304 ($899 street price) for a budget 5.1.4-channel set-up. The system features Klipsch Tractrix 90° X 90° horn technology and aluminum tweeters for high efficiency, impressive high-end response and excellent dynamics.

ELAC Debut 2.0 F6.2 Tower Loudspeakers

After Andrew Jones left Pioneer, where he made a name for himself by designing excellent-sounding speakers at budget prices, but before he joined MoFi, Andrew started a little company called ELAC. ELAC continued Jones’ tradition of designing amazing sounding loudspeakers that punch well above their price class. And while ELAC’s smaller bookshelf speakers get most of the ink from HiFi publications and audio reviewers, the company also makes affordable tower speakers for those looking for a bit more dynamics and bass extension.

The company’s Debut 2.0 F6.2 Tower speakers are currently on Amazon for just $319.98/each (40% below the current list price). They are listed as back-ordered but you can lock in this low price if you’re willing to wait a bit for them to arrive.

The Elac Debut 2.0 F6.2 tower speakers include removable grilles in case you prefer your speaker drivers “au naturel.”

Our good friend Dennis Burger at Home Theater Review reviewed this speaker shortly after it was released and called it a “phenomenal speaker.” He continued, “If you’re looking for an incredibly detailed, incredibly revealing speaker with sumptuous imaging and delicious depth that won’t break the bank, I seriously recommend putting it on your list of speakers to audition.”
