Last month I won a a pair of brand new KEF XQ3 speakers direct from KEF
complete with stands as on the KEF web site.

As I choose to use a 27 year old pair of R105s I do not have any use for
the XQ3s.

Hmm, I'd be a bit surprised if these new ones weren't superior to those
old speakers. I've never heard the XQ3s. Do you prefer the sound of the
R105s?

Be surprised, be very surprised.



Doesn't surprise me - I've tried a lot of modern, cheap speakers and they
all look very well made for the price with excellent 'technical specs' and
appear to offer very good value for money, but while are very good at
providing 'audible information' I've yet to find a pair that are 'engaging'
and truly musical......

Mmm, but those XQ3 speakers did NOT look cheap to me. How much do
they retail for? They sure don't look like they're budget speakers.

Yeah, I just googled and saw a review saying they're 1500 GBP/pair.

I'm willing to bet that at least in the treble, these would whoop
the R105s' asses.
