Kef Soundlight Speaker System

["markttay" <markttay@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

At the Homebuilding Show at Wembley a few months ago I picked up a=20
leaflet from a Kef reseller about the Soundlight system. This is 4 of=20
their mini in ceiling speakers and a subwoofer box that sits in the=20
ceiling void and directs its sound through 2 flexible tubes into=20
ports that look the same as the 4 other speakers. The idea is that=20
the speaker system blends in with the look of ELV halogen down=20
lighters that are popular these days. Apparently this system costs=20
about =A3300 retail.

I am doing a self-build at the moment and am worried about the sonic=20
range of these mini in-ceiling speakers, but a subwoofer would go=20
some way to make it more acceptable.

I have two questions, has anyone seen or heard of this product? a=20
Google doesn't return any results, I know I didn't dream it
because I still have the leaflet. Secondly, I read somewhere once=20
that humans are naturally attuned for higher frequencies coming from=20
above and lower ones from below. With the sub up in the ceiling, I=20
wonder how that would effect the listening experience. I know my gym=20
have Bose subs tucked up among the pipes and stuff in the ceiling=20
area and the noise is quite disconcerting. Has anyone got subs off=20
the ground, and does it sound ok?
