Good Points: Clarity
Great Looks
Realism
Bad Points: None for the price paid
General comments: I have to agree with the other reviews, those KEF Q3's are quite something to hear! I bought them for $400 Canadian (Less than 300$ US !!! ) + $50 for shipping. I could not be happier with them. So I won't stretch too long on the bad points. I have to disagree about the lack of bass oooummf!!! This is because the Q3's are not adding bass frequencies where there is none, unlike some other much more expensive speakers that I heard before buying those, like Mission and Monitor audio (Silver 6: out of control bass!!). If there is no bass in the actual recording, they won't be any out of the speakers and that's fair enough! The range or the Q3's is 42-27, that's enough bass for me! The realism of the voices, horns and drums is almost spooky! It blew me away! Go hear them or the new model that replace thoses: the Q4.

If u are looking for a warm sound, like jazz, vocals,or long hour listening without tiring, q3 isn't the right choice for u.....cos' it sounds bright regardless of any cables u use, & this is the characteristic of Q3.
when i first tested KEF Q3 , wharfedale evo30 , elac 205jet,
Q3 sounds outstanding cos the surround effect brought me into days when i were jammin with my friends in a jammin studio.....clarity is amazing...
what hi-fi has review & the setback was lack of oomp...

I bought a complete Q-series set-up: 2 x Q3 for the fronts, 2 x Q1 for the rears and a Q9 centre. Oh, and a REL Quake subwoofer. Let's get the solitary negative out of the way right now: you're going to need a subwoofer if you use Q3s as your main front speakers as they lack a teensy bit of power in the bass. Obviously that needs to be fixed if you plan on listening to rock music, but you'd also lose a lot of the slam factor of action movie soundtracks.
Right, now for the bottom line, unde ...- Read Neil's review (236 words)

As with the other reviews - I have to recommend the Q3. I have them in the light maple colour and they look breathtaking with the grills off! I paid 350 GBP (they seem to be on special offer all over as the original price was 400 GBP). If you want to make an impression and you have a wooden floor, don't get them in black, get the maple and leave the grills off. Wow! (see the Kef brochure)
Sound wise they demolished some cheaper mission floor standers that I auditioned. In fact to be fair to M ...- Read Flip's review (397 words and 1 comment)

I have to agree with the previous reviewers. These Kef Q3's are terrific speakers for the money. I paid about 300 British pounds for them and they're worth every farthing. Down the line, one could add a sealed subwoofer designed for music and fill in the 20-40 Hz octave, and, if blended seamlessly, you'd have full-range music that was detailed yet smooth and non-fatiguing.- Read Dalancroft's review (136 words)

Short version.. Just go and buy yourself these Kef Q3 speakers.
long version..
I am cursed with the ability to find fault with everything I buy..I am difficult to please.. my house has seen more televisions, speakers, amps, and cd players etc. etc. sent back because they have failed to live up to manufacturers claims or I have found them to be faulty in some way.
I had some old Kef coda 7 se's
I needed to upgrade my speakers after buying new kit.
I started with a pair of Mission 782s &pou ...- Read Paul's review (330 words and 1 comment)
