the last few days i spent a few hours auditing the q300, q500 and q700 with a q600c center speaker plugged to a marantz sr7005 for movies and then run the setup through a marantz cd6004 + pm6004 integrated amp for stereo.

played the same transformers dark of the moon scene which i am familiar with, then run tracks from norah jones, michael buble and best audiophile voices 2. and just for fun after spending the few hours listening to the 5 star whathifi  awarded setup we run a pair of b&w 705 through the same cd6004 and pm6004.

i'm a freak for midrange. so i'm biased towards the sweet midrange of the b&w. the kef q series have better sense of space and more emphasis on treble. which is a good thing for movies. but not so for music. playing music they still sounded a bit thin and dry sounding to me.
