Quick guidance

The CI160QR is a smart choice if you want a high-quality 6.5-inch KEF in-ceiling speaker with wide coverage and a clean architectural finish. It is sold individually, so for stereo listening, surround use, or multi-room audio you will usually want two or more. If you want help planning the right quantity or matching amplifier, contact us.

1. Is this one speaker or a pair?
   This is a single speaker. For stereo in one room, you’ll typically order two.
   
2. Will it work with my AV receiver or multi-room amp?
   Yes. It’s a standard passive in-ceiling speaker and works with most receivers and multi-room amps. Match amp power to the room size and listening level.
   
3. What should I confirm before cutting the ceiling?
   Check the cutout size, mounting depth, and joist clearance for your ceiling cavity. Use the included template for the cleanest cut.
