KEF HTS2001.3 Egg Satellite Speakers – Iconic Uni-Q
The award-winning KEF HTS2001.3 is one of the most recognisable and enduring satellite speakers in home theatre history — a beautifully engineered cast-aluminium “egg” that delivers refined, wide-dispersion sound far beyond its compact size.
The KEF KHT2005.3 system, of which the HTS2001.3 is the satellite component, won the prestigious What Hi-Fi? Best Style Speaker Package award in 2008 — recognition that speaks to both the striking design and exceptional performance that have made these speakers beloved by home theatre enthusiasts for nearly two decades.
At the heart of each speaker is KEF’s celebrated Uni-Q driver array — a 100mm (4-inch) midrange cone with a 19mm aluminium dome tweeter mounted precisely at its acoustic centre. This coaxial, single-point-source design disperses sound uniformly over an exceptionally wide area, so every seat in the room benefits from the same coherent, focused soundstage. The vented cast-aluminium enclosure is both beautifully rigid and acoustically inert, contributing to the HTS2001.3’s notably smooth, detailed presentation.
Each speaker ships with an integrated, multi-directional adjustable shelf stand that can also serve as a wall bracket — providing real flexibility for placement on shelves, entertainment units, or mounted to walls. This versatility makes the HTS2001.3 an excellent fit for a wide range of room configurations. All four speakers in this listing have been thoroughly inspected and tested to confirm full functionality and are in very good cosmetic condition.
These four HTS2001.3 satellites are available as two matched pairs, making them ideal for a 4-channel surround array, front left/right duties, or height channel use in a Dolby Atmos setup — a popular application for this model.

KEF was founded in 1961 by former BBC engineer Raymond Cooke, in a Nissen hut on the Kent Engineering & Foundry site in Maidstone, England, which gave the company its name. We carry KEF satellite systems, bookshelf speakers, towers, centre channels and subwoofers. We've had more than 70 KEF listings so far, covering nearly 40 different models. Every used KEF here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.
The KEF models we've sold most often include the HTS1001.2 satellites and HTC1001.2 centre from the KHT1005.2 system, the KUBE-1 subwoofer, the C75 towers and the Q95c centre.
The KEF story, 1961 to today
Raymond Cooke, a former BBC engineer, founded KEF in 1961 in Maidstone, Kent, and named it after the owner of the site, Kent Engineering & Foundry. Its first speaker, the three-way K1, used a tweeter with a Melinex diaphragm, and the compact Celeste followed.
BBC monitors and Reference. KEF drive units were used in the BBC's LS3/5a mini-monitor of 1975, and KEF built it under licence. The Reference Series followed from 1977.
Uni-Q. In 1988 KEF introduced its Uni-Q driver, which puts the tweeter in the centre of the midrange cone, first in the C Series. Uni-Q went on to the Q Series, the KHT satellite systems of the 2000s such as the "Egg", the LS50 of 2012 and the LS50 Meta of 2020.
Today. KEF belongs to Hong Kong's Gold Peak group, through GP Industries, which also owns Celestion, and it is still based in Maidstone.
Which KEF is which?
1960s and 1970s classics: the K1, Celeste, Concord, Chorale, Cantata, Calinda and Corelli.
Reference Series (from 1977): such as the 103, 104/2 and 105, and the Model 100 centre of the 1990s.
C Series (1985 to about 1991): the first C models, then Uni-Q models from 1988, such as the C35, C95 and the C75 tower.
Q Series (from 1990): several generations, including the Q15 to Q95c of 1997 to 2000.
KHT satellite systems (2000s): the KHT2005 "Egg", the KHT1005 and KHT1005.2 (with HTS1001.2 satellites, an HTC1001.2 centre and the KUBE-1 subwoofer), and the KHT5005.2.
T Series (2010) and LS50 (2012 on): the slim T101 speakers for walls and stands, and the LS50 and LS50 Meta.
Buying used KEF: what to check
Satellites need their sub. KEF's small satellites hand the bass to a subwoofer, so buy them with one or make sure you have one.
Uni-Q drivers. The tweeter sits in the centre of the midrange cone. Check the cone for dents, and make sure every tweeter plays.
Subwoofers. Play a KUBE-1 or PSW subwoofer at volume, and check the surround on the KUBE-1's passive radiator.
T Series. The cabinets are only 35 mm deep and were designed for walls or KEF's own stands, so check that the brackets or stands come with them.
Older models. C Series and Reference models are now 35 to 40 years old, so inspect every surround.
Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.

KEF HTS1001 Uni-Q Satellite Speakers Black Pair
KEF’s Uni-Q array puts a 0.6-inch aluminium dome at the acoustic centre of a 3-inch mid-bass cone, so the pair behaves as a single source and the tonal balance holds across the room rather than in one chair. Sealed cast aluminium enclosures, 120 Hz to 22 kHz, 86 dB, magnetically shielded. Very good cosmetic condition.
Mirage Omnisat OS 1PB-1 Omnipolar Satellite – Made in Canada
Both drivers fire upward into spoon-shaped reflectors Mirage calls OMNIGUIDEs, throwing sound through a full 360 degrees with a deliberate bias toward the front — which is what takes the sweet spot off a single chair. This is the original version at a genuine 7 lbs each, with a cast aluminium baffle and butyl rubber surrounds rather than foam. Built in Canada; condition very good.
Mirage Omnisat OS 1PB-1 Omnipolar Satellite (Pair) – Made in Canada
Both drivers fire upward into spoon-shaped OMNIGUIDE reflectors, giving 360-degree dispersion with a deliberate forward bias. 70 Hz to 20 kHz, 89 dB, cast aluminum woofer baffle and butyl surrounds rather than foam. These are the original 7 lb version; the later revisions come in under five. Very good condition.
PSB VisionSound VS300 Aluminum On-Wall Speaker
An on-wall speaker engineered as one rather than adapted into one. It shares the tweeter, terminals and crossover of PSB's VS400 floorstander, but the port was moved to the front so the cabinet can sit flat to a wall without the wall changing what it does — and a rear switch selects NORMAL or ON-WALL, filling the 400 to 500 Hz dip that hard mounting creates. Extruded aluminium, built in Pickering, Ontario. Graded Excellent or Very Good; the only thing separating the two is a single Tic Tac-sized hole at the extreme edge of one grille frame.
