Next up was the Rolling Stones concert DVD set, Four Flicks, and oh, boy--the clarity of the 2005.2's sound added to our enjoyment of the music. The five satellites' vast domelike surround field placed us in the middle of a large arena.
CD sound was also well above par, but we noted the satellites' high treble range wasn't as beautifully clear and delicate as RBH's CT-MAX system, which we preferred on music. That said, our jazz CDs sounded fantastic over the 2005.2; stand-up bass was rhythmically nimble, and brass instruments such as Sonny Rollins's big tenor sax were reach-out-and-touch real. Jerry Garcia and David Grisman's self-titled CD features the masters plucking and stroking guitar and mandolin, and the KEF's tactile sound took our breath away. For best results, we recommend pairing the KHT 2005.2 with a top-rated receiver such as Denon's AVR-2805 or Harman Kardon's AVR 330.
