Hi Sharad,

Thanks for the response. I must hear both carefully.

Cheers,

E.

E,

I am in the same dilemma myself. KEF iQ5 got significantly better reviews from What-HiFi, compared
to iQ7, though I don't fully agree with them.
I have auditioned iQ5, IQ7 & iQ9. Apart from the bass, IQ9 has a great lower-mid-range. You can
actually hear the person on the flute blowing air in to the hole. The baritones sound great too. The
bass is a bit overwhelming, and needs to be kept under control. The iQ5 is fast in the upper-mid and
has a good treble, but it lacks that detailed organic lower midrange, which its bigger siblings
possess. IQ7 is midway between the other two models.

If I had the money, I would buy iQ7. You need to hear and decide whether you can live with an iQ5
(may be with a sub to help it).

Thanks,
Sharad
