I am wondering if this Q300 is a bright or warm speaker?

I assume it is on the bright side. Pls correct if I am wrong.

I am looking for one to complement my pioneer lx53, mainly for HIFI stereo. Any good speaker to recommend? Is Q300 a good match?

Hi Bro,

Mind sharing what speaker you use for center and subwoofer at the moment?

I tested Q500 and Q300 in combination with onkyo and I feel it is bright, as bright as the jbl that i eventually took in combo with pioneer avr. At shop the combination performed very well as the details were extremely clear. However, over the long run playing exciting scene, the brightness may cause fatigue. The brightness is also not good for music as compared to warmer speakers like Castle and B&W (as what I have tested). Do you experience this with KEF Q series?

I have also tested B&W 684. For music, it performed very well. But, for movies it is too laid back due to the warmness. No excitement in scenes where you should feel your adrenaline rushing.

For the current setup, maybe I should avoid skipping to playing exciting scene only to avoid fatigue or I should take another pair of warm speakers just for music.
