    What sub for Kef iQs ?

    Hello everyone !

    Will be going to my dealer this we to listen up to different systems, and am still not fixed which sub to take ...

    System will be installed in a small room (arround 12 square meters) and should (!) consist of : Rotel 1068+1075, Kefs iQ9, iQ6c and iQ7 + SUB

    So my question is : what sub do you think would pass the best together with the Kef and the room size ?

    Was considering the Kef PSW3500 or the Yamaha YST-SW1500.

    Any advice or comment ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Len

    Me again...

    Just back from auditioning at my dealer. Was a REAL pleasure. KEF's are no longer on my list. After several hours of intense listening, the two last brand that are on my list are : Monitor Audio and Phonar (a small company that builds AMAZING speakers !!).
    The difference between the iQ's and the Silver RS8 and Phonar 20II where astonishing ! The iQ's were totally blown away, unprecise, lacking of clarity and of punch ! No kidding !
    I didn't tought there could be such a difference, espcially because of the same price range.

    The Monitor Audio were so much precise and punchier. The most incredible speaker to listen to were the Phonar 40II : if you have once the opportunity to listen to these, DO NOT HESITATE, you won't be disappointed !

    This week-end I just learned something : instead of reading thousands of articles, a good listening session with your own ears overtake everything else.

    For information: all speakers where running on ROTEL electronics (separates)

    So to answer to my own thread : Kef iQ's = no way ! But I'm still looking for a very good sub...Any suggestion will be highly appreciated... Considering de Martin Logan Depth at the moment ...

      B&W 683 vs FC 816V vs KEF iQ7
      by Klaus<n
      Hi everyone, I'd like to ask for your advice on the speakers I'm about to buy. I've tested the B&W 683, the Focal Chorus 816V and the KEF iQ7. My impression is that B&W takes the cake slightly but I want to hear from you.

      Second, I've been offered to use with the B&W 3 choices...

      Hey all,

      Here's a question that just hit me while I was considering room corrections in my brand spanking new HT.

      Just FYI, I have the following system:
      - Lexicon MC-8 Processor

      - Kef iq6c center
      - Surrounds Kef iQ3 and q2's....

      KEF iQ1 vs. custom builds
      by Operandi
      I've always thought the DIY approach offered the best value per dollar assuming the design is sound but the iQ1 seems like a lot of speaker for the money in terms of tech, build quality, and looks.

      The budget here is roughly $300; build costs won't be too bad since I have access to a...
