There is a frequency range of 45 Hz to 20 kHz and a sound pressure level of 103 dB for superior sound quality. You can connect through Bluetooth or HDMI if that isn't enough to help you out.

• Best Bookshelf Speakers: KEF Q150B Q150 Bookshelf Speakers 

A great KEF system like this one is a worthy luxury if you have the room for it. We gave these speakers five stars because of their excellent sound quality, but we can't deny the KEF Q150 5.1 package's imposing size or its dominance in our listening space. It's too big to fit in a studio apartment. The sound is as impressive as its size and presence; the speakers and subwoofer work harmoniously to immerse you in the experience.
