Cut into wall and put a PVC pipe inside.. DIY.. I just finished concealed Sub cable as well use existing pipe..

WOW...How much it cost?

Cost Q700+Q600C around RM6.8k, Rythmik F15HP 5.3k..

Very nice, next what u need is a 100 inch screen and a projector to suite up with your Q700 wide soundstage efforts. Then your HT experience will be on another level.
Auditioned the Q700 and pair with Q200c on a 86' projection display, love the feel man. No regrets on the KEF Q series

Yes.. in my plan already and 4 more speakers for surround effect..

Nice setup, bet they sound as good as they look.  smile.gif

Cheers.. Indeed biggrin.gif


Tried those speakers without subwoofer. Listen to Linkin Park New Divide song, vol. -20dB and the bass was pretty good to me and didn't hear anything call "muddy" bass. If play together with Rythmik sub F15Hp that really powerful, strong, tight bass which both blended in perfectly. Anyway is depend on what kind of music/song, some need strong bass to feel it.

Those speaker need time to break in, some say 3 days some need a month, wait until I get there and hear the different. Obviously my sub need time to break in too, not sure when but only know when it brand new, the bass response wasn't good and it a bit hard (hard to blend in with music, like HF/LF totally fall apart). Now it play very well.....

here my KEF speakers
Got the speakers couple days ago. Plug into LX75 and play a wonderful sound. Those speaker are clear, solid sounds and wide stages. No matter where you stand you can hear the sound almost the same every spot. The speaker can hear for whole day without feeling fatigue and sound can be heard like from far deep stages.  At night when quite you can play Yanni music in low vol and it feel so nice and relax. You can almost can hear all instrument they used. Watched few movies Real Steel, Rise of planet of Apes etc.. sound feel good especially the voice are very clear. Play radio also wonderful...

Wow very nice & lovely speakers, blend in well in your living hall too. 3 suggestions though:-

1. Get your center speaker decouple from the cabinet (put something at bottom to tilt it slightly upwards), or place the center to the front edge of cabinet. I bet you will hear dialogues even clearer. The aim is to mitigate the reflection sound from cabinet surface.

2. Time to invest a BIGGER screen.

3. Enjoy!

Totally agree with point 1.
I have a similar setup without concealing the wire to TV. I adjust the screw position of the TV mounting so that the bottom of the TV are level with the center speaker to "hide" the wires. I have now move the center speaker forward nearer to the front edge of the cabinet and also add footing to tilt the center to aim at my ear level. Really makes a lot of difference. I suggest you try this out.

The last time I check, KL is more expensive than Penang. Good luck finding your Q300.

Btw, anyone want to share a Q300 for centre?

hi, am planning to get a replacement for my old speakers set that i gave away. am still thinking of either getting the

KEF KHT3005SE
OR
combo of KEF Q300 and Q600C. this option will add Q400B the following month as budget is a bit constrain.

between these two options, which one do u guys think i should grab? speaker system will be used for 40% gaming, 30% movies and 30% musics (mostly classical and trance). currently own onkyo 608 entry level avr. any input is greatly appreciated. thanks
