The Ref's are quite a bit more expensive than the Q-series and the extra money shows. They are more like the B&W Nautilus 803's only better. I think the Q7's are worth the extra $250.00 CAD just on looks alone. Soundwise they are almost equal to B&W 704 (which some on the board think sound like 60Ti), just not real wood veneer.

BTW once you get the warm cherry upgrade (similar to the dark apple Kef finish)you're only $130.00 away.
