Good Points
Great open dynamic sound. Excellent soundstage.
General Comments
These floor standing Kef Q7 speakers offer excellent value for money. The 3 way speaker system includes Kef's highly acclaimed Uni Q Hi/Mid combination and an unnsual running track shaped low frequency speaker. This enables Kef to include a low frequency driver with a surface area equivalent to a wider diameter standard driver that the width of the cabinet would allow.
The sound these speakers produce is wonderfully open givinga wider than expected stereo image. There's a nice bass sound and timing is more than acceptable. I upgraded to these from a pair of Celestion A1's and have noticed a great improvement in overall sound.
They cope brilliantly with Jazz, Rock and classical music and are particularly adept at interpreting vocals. At £800.00 you'd have to look very hard to find a similarly priced pair of floor standers to beat them.

A outstanding speaker now at only £600.
They give my pmc fb1 (£1200) a very close run imo.
Heard the Kef Q7 coupled to a quad 99 system (very sweet indeed).
