KEF Reference 3


Hi to all.

I own Q acoustics concept 500 which are exceptional speakers for the price. No complaints at all and I feel they sound better from some  little costlier speakers I’ve heard.

I just had a good offer for Kef reference 3 and I think of it...I listened to KEF with a Macintosh .Very detailed and analytical , huge soundstage (the bigger soundstage I’ve heard in speaker until now) but less warm than Q acoustics and maybe a little dry compared to them. Maybe I am accustomed to concepts.

The problem is that I heard them in a different place with different amplifier and CD player so I cannot make certain conclusions.

Have anyone heard both to make a comparison? Do they worth the money? I can buy them for only 4.500 euros and they’ve been used a few months.

Forgot to say that I pair my speakers with Marantz pm ki ruby/sa ki ruby.

Thank you.

The Concepts are good enough to see you through upgrading your upstream components. I'd put my money there instead.
