High-level. Even crossovered at 160 Hz to a subwoofer, the sound of the Kef is degraded at high level: it becomes aggressive, and the frequency response is not linear anymore.
But they are incredibly good at low, normal and normal-to-high level, they collapse only at very high level in a large room.
Not only the image is rock solid, like for all coincident speakers I listened to (Tannoy, Seas, Kef), but the clarity and detail are outstanding. I finally understand the words of songs on CDs I own for 20+ years!!!
