I sell a fair bit of Kef's high end speakers. I have a pair of the Ci3160-THX and a pair of the Ci200RR-THX in my home/showroom. I've installed 3 of the 5160's behind an acoustically transparent screen for a customer . All of the above are world class. A definite step up from the rest.
I'm a big proponent of properly set up subwoofers to handle the low frequencies. I always cross everything over @ 80Hz. I found that both the 3160's and 5160's will hit reference level volumes in large rooms at a 15 foot seating distance.
IMO, Kef has the best in wall and in ceiling speakers currently available in the models listed above. I replaced a set of Dynaudio in ceilings for the 200RR's and the Dynaudio are very good
