KEF Ci5120QLM-THX THX Ultra In-Wall Speaker
These are passive speakers, so they need an amplifier to power them (4Ω, 25–250W recommended). Either of these will drive a pair and stream music from your phone.
Allow about 10m per speaker for a typical run back to the amplifier. Webro 16/2 LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is the right cable for runs in ceilings and walls.
The KEF Ci5120QLM-THX is the larger sibling of the Ci3120QLM-THX. It uses four 4.75in bass drivers around a 12th-generation Uni-Q driver with Metamaterial Absorption Technology for more output and deeper bass, earning THX Certified Ultra status for larger cinema rooms.
Why we like it
- 12th-generation Uni-Q with MAT
- Four 4.75in bass drivers for higher output and bass to 45Hz (±6dB)
- THX Certified Ultra
- IP64 rated
- Paintable magnetic metal grille and Ultra-Thin Bezel
Installation notes
The Ci5120QLM-THX needs a 795 x 163mm cut-out and 90mm mounting depth from the surface, and suits walls 6-36mm thick. KEF recommends a 70 litre rear volume (35 litres minimum). It is 4 ohm with 25-250W recommended power.
