Bro, why not going audition?
It's your money, so you should deserve the best.

KEF I like.. ordered Q700+Q600C, on the way. Heard before very good sound stage. Tips from forumer that this speaker must do biwire/biamp and use copper wire.

Dali from Denmark top two after Dynaudio, more expensive than KEF

Both are good speakers, depend on your taste.

yeah bro. i auditioned Ikon 6 before and liked it and i auditioned Q500 and it sounded a bit harsh...... but then again the speakers hadn't run in yet. i heard so many wonderful things on KEF's new Q series so i just wanted to be sure

Q900 is the best with 2" tweeter, so the clarity and sound stage are very wide but you need bigger amp to drive it. At least you amp can output 200w. For Q700 if you can get 4.5k is reasonable. Some places quote up to 5.6k but depend on location. The tweeter for KEF Q series are from high end KEF flagship blade model. Only comment I heard from other regarding Q700 is their bass muddy.. but most people heard not like that. It depend on setting and connection that make different. I believe it is seal cabinet so the bass must be clean and tight

BTW how much you their offer you Ikon 6. I got offer for lektor series floorstander 6.9k which I think expensive.
