Congratulations

I still think that the "round thingies" on the top would look much better if they were "rectangular thingies"

Enjoy your new speakers VOLKS

Be well...

If I remember correctly, that is where I purchased my Kefs for my home theatre system. They did not have the "big guns" on the floor.

Volks. I'm curious if you purchased these from a brick and mortar store and if you got a discount?

Oh yeah, and congratulations!!! KEF ref are among the creme de la creme. Used to own them and loved them.

Hi Nap,

Q7 for the fronts and Q1 for the rears. I also had the Kef center, but I do not remember what it was. The speaker kept failing and I got fed-up with it and donated it to out local dump. I did have a Bose speaker system for my home theatre (not the cubes). The Bose speakers did not sound as good as the Kefs but they were by far much more reliable.

Be well...

Now we're talking... But I guess this was several years ago, now AudioVideo2001 doesn't have the Q line anymore.

I went for omnipolars for HT, it eliminates any "speaker integration" issue.

Congratulations. I have the KEF REference 205/2 and they sound wonderful. Haven't had a chance to hear the 207/2, but the round tweeter didn't pass WAF, so it wasn't really an option.

Try to pass them as beeing "for the kids room". They love Mickey Mouse and Minnie.

Yeah, but then they would have to be installed in the kids room, and the acoustics are terrible...
