KEF Q Concerto Meta Three-Way Bookshelf Speaker - Pair (Walnut)

Was shopping for some quality front speakers for a while. These KEFs sound great!

Great product, good sound at a reasonable price. Only concern, it tends to accentuate the highs compared to other high-end speakers.

These spakers are outstanding. Its hard to beieve they r only1399. I was listening to a male vocalpeice from grover washington jr.It is so lifelike my dog was looking at the speakers in wonderment moving his head side to side. He jus could not figure out the human voice was there but ther is no person and sat beside me looking at the speaker.Very linear. Excellent sound stage.Bass is very accurate but it only goes to 58hz.I have two edifier 8 inch subs. Definatly need a sub. 1 will do. I use2 in order to have stereo bass.

Just a little surprised the "walnut" is a vinyl wrap. But heck, Kef spend the money on the parts that make sound and it looks really good. I am able to without any eq but with a sub. ( LR4 @ 60 Hz XKitz crossover) so I can't really talk about the lower bass. It is a really tough decision between keeping them (likely) and keeping with my own SEAS/SB speakers. They seem to do better with bad recordings like Billy Joel and Moody blues. Some of that is my swap to a R2R DAC which was HUGE improvement is edginess. Bigger difference than between mine and the Kefs! I think it is the detail in female vocals that will make the Kef a winner. Really competitive class and Kef does well: Proac, Buchardt, Mofi, March, ATC, Quad, Ascend, etc.
