A Rythmic F12 or F15 sub (depending on room size) and a line level high pass filter to roll off the low frequency signal to the amp driving the KEFs. Relieving them of deep bass duty and getting a servo sub with a built in parametric EQ will likely give you a full range sound.

E-stat,
Did you notice the same effect when listening to the Reference 3 or 5?
If adding drivers to increase image size/height isn't a solution,then the approach of adding an out-board tweeter would fall into the "should have selected a different speaker to start with"
I suppose what I am suggesting might fall into the solutions for extending the Quad ESL 57.
You can add Hartleys or Tympani bass panels and/or Deccas /RTRs,but in the end you are trying to blend many different drivers and hope they blend properly.(Loved my 57/Tympani 3 bass panels).
Had anyone gone from KEFs uni-Q over to a Quad of any kind (2805,2905,2912)?

Sorry, never heard the Reference 3 or 5.

I think true multi-driver line arrays like the Scaena provide a very realistic perspective. As observed earlier, one must have lots of drivers put very closely together to achieve that effect.

That is always the challenge. As a coherency freak, my preference is for truly full range electrostats. Or, at least in the case of the Acoustats in the HT, one that delivers all but the bottom two octaves.
