hi guy,

want to ask is it ok if i can mix the kef q300 front speaker with my psb c1 center speaker which later on i plan to change to Kef q200 center speaker.

Thanks

Yea you may mix both but u might not get the best outcome cause if you ask everyone here, they will tell u to go for same brand and signature for front LCR.
Just go ahead and use what u have. Perhaps some minor tweaks may help and enjoy them. Cheers

Perhaps the details and sound quality may be different compare u use all KEFa, side effect wise, won't harm your equipment unless u blast all night at -1/ 0db.
Try it and u will know the outcome.

What AVR are you using? If is Onkyo, it's more to the bright side.
You can try cables from Audioquest.
From my setup, i am now using QED Evo XT on my Q300 to a Denon 1912, so far so good for movies but when play music using multi chanel mode, it is bright though.

I would strongly advice you go for an audition for cable testing. Denon suppose to execute warm sounds as it is so very hard to give u a solid answer.
Perhaps u can PM DannyOP, he owns a 3311 before and he had some experience on apkrs cables test. Perhaps he can give u some info. Cheers

wires made from silver and/or have some sort of silver coating in them generally carries the usual silver sound signature, which is bright. not a bad trait if properly matched as they're also transparent, highly detailed, lots of sparkle, open, wide and the usual characters associated to high frequency emphasis.

having heard the kef q, xq, iq series i associate them as being bright. a silver cable to a bright speaker might not fit some people. though some could tolerate such piercing sound, i definitely could not.

i've seen hifi choice midlands park (seeing that you're in penang) have a few models of the q series. and some chord silver cables the last time i was there. they also have pioneer and marantz avrs on display. try and visit them for an audition to gauge your level of tolerance.
