Welcome to the KEF Speaker owner family..... Looking forward to your next upgrade... maybe....
KEF R series Floorstand and moving these beauties to do surround beauty when the R series poison hit you....

Another fellow supporter of bookshelf.. Sometime Smaller package sound more refine......
R series also got Bookshelf..... Hahaha....
Don't know why.. But that seem the run in time of KEF stuff... 2 Month....

Maybe its due to the placement? Its at the corner of the room and if facing forward will have bad first point reflection maybe?
To me Bookshelf have flexibility of placement and not that space consuming... It can be tuck in everywhere and not so bulky.... Only issue is Bass but nowadays with Sub-woofer this seem to be a matter of the past.
Floorstand visually is arresting.. but sometime in our small kampung house where got place to put big big floorstand speaker....

I do agree that you can use KEF Standmount as centre as the Uni-Q arrangement do benefit as everything came from one source....
Just to add some consideration into the pot. The KEF centre are normally supported by some mid-drivers that give support to the Centre Uni-Q and this add into more mid-bass impact to the sound.
To me this pull the imaging focus better and give more frontal impact for movie experience.
I wouldn't mind using the smaller Centre in the Q series as I believe its would support the Q300 sufficient. The bigger sibling tends to work better with its taller brother that stand on the floor.
Sometime front integration matter if you have speaker of unique make (Uni-Q) and for me I even could consider having the same make for the rear and keeping the Uni-Q sound character....
Of course.. for Subwoofer its a different story as incorporating a Uni-Q tweeter into the 12 inch driver would be an interesting thing and in fact form no such requirement in reality... who want one there anyway...

That is a mighty high ceiling....
So dimension is 15 Wide x 15 long x 25 high (all in feet)
This will be interesting...

Added on January 1, 2012, 10:54 pmWould advise you to go with one Brand if you buying a complete set as the bookshelf from both KEF and B&W that you looking at are similar price range....
Subwoofer also, to go for same brand ie KEF speaker to pair with KEF subwoofer or B&W with B&W subwoofer.... nicer blend of sound as same brand...
If you looking at MK Subwoofer... might as well consider their speaker package and take complete set.....

I would agree if we are going with dedicated subwoofer from velo, sunfire, svs or rymik. I am just giving the opinion to match brand for simplicity as bringing too much brand into the mix can be confusing.... prefer to keep it simple unless to all the sifu here that have "years" of experience.. (that this with a hint of humour) this would not be an issue but to a newbie this could be too much...
Anyway, OT again... let get back to KEF and speakers....
Happy listeining to my XQ bookshelf.... superb mid, with nice treble extention and bass... oklah.. bookshelf bass cannot compare to floorstand so need subwoofer to support... also KEF subwoofer.. me being brand specific again....

Nice looking Uni-Q babe.... What speaker cable used to drive them?

Oh, Green colour snake... Banana plug or Spade?
Copper cable normally warm. Is the KEF bright?

Oh.. Onkyo.. more of a bright AVR... I am using Marantz... warm AVR so using Chord not that bright....
Can give a short review of the KEF.. for us to envy envy a bit?.... Also for reference to those considering these Uni-Q babe......
