Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler KEF Q300 initial impression

Hi guys, some of you have asked me to post my impressions of my new pair of KEF Q300. Can´t give much of a talk right now since I barely listened to them. They were just delivered. Well, my initial impression after hooking them up and listening on 2 channels compared to my M22´s were that they have much more bass which can be felt with the sub turned off. While the M22´s I hardly feel anything. The Axioms cabinets are nicer IMO although the KEF conectors looks nicer since they were made of metal and gold plated. Sound wise I better wait a little to make a better judgement. As for now I would say they have lots of similarities. ( gotta compare them better though ) Can say that this have been a great acquisition and so it would be the M3´s which may be my next purchase. The KEF´s are about 2/3 or the size of the Axioms. Well that´s all for now. Will give a better review later.

Enjoy your new speakers, Ichigo! I've never had the opportunity to listen to KEF speakers. It sounds like you got a good deal on them!

I understand what you mean about lots of similarities. In my years of listening to speakers, I've found that most good ones sound more similar than not. It is only after spending time with them, or, even better, setting them up on an A/B switcher will the differences become more evident.

Have fun listening to them!
