Good Points: Very detailed and honest sound overall. Most precise bass guitar reproduction I ever heard. Very satisfying voice and strings reproduction.
Bad Points: Lack of depth (iQ3 does not really go under 50 Hz) No sweetness in high band (but not metallic sound or coloration as well).
General comments: I have replaced 20 year old Celestion SL-6 pair with KEF iQ3, after eliminating MA BR2, Wharfedale D9.3, Dali Concept 2 and some others. At first KEFs were a bit "thin" and boxy. After 10 days of working out and some repositioning in the room, I have found deep satisfaction with KEFs. Do not place them on bookshelf - I have used sand filled iron pillars (each 20 kg) and put them 25 cm from rear wall - as room demanded.
If you like to listen to vocal music, jazz those speakers are excellent. I was surprised with added details in Nora Jones, Diana Krall albums and some many times heard classical pieces like Vivaldi - 4 seasons were delightful.
And why not - AC/DC - You shook me all night long - never sounded better to me.
I recommend those speakers to all who want to get a piece of music delight for reasonable cost.

When I first heard these speakers at my HI-FI store I knew these were the ones for me even though Ii tested speakers that are a lot more expensive. They look fantastic and sounded even better on my system when I got them home.
Very good deep bass and great midrange and tops. To be honest I can't fault them at all and when I have the money I think I will be buying some floor standers in the same range.
