Question on KEF speakers

does anyone know what changes this company has gone thru in the past 10 years, supposedly there quality had gone down hill and now they are coming back as a quality name once again???? The reason I ask is, im looking at some of there cheaper bookshelves, the Q1's, I want to find a great sounding bookshelf that is made by a speaker company that is all proprietary. Any names out there that make there own cabinet, drivers, tweeters and have excellent quality? I have looked at KEF, M&K and a few others that i can afford. Im looking to spend around 500.00 for the 2 fronts in a 5.1 system. Please reccomend some speaker companies that have been around forever that make there entire product from start to finish. thanks much for the feedback

It appears to me that Kef has been trying to make a modest comeback over the last couple of years, with re-designed and expanded product lines. The Q-series are a very good deal IMHO. I was very pleased with my Q5's until I caught the upgrade bug, although I still have them and may use for home theatre or trade for the smaller Q1. Avoid the Q3, which is a poor compromise between Q1 and Q5.

Paradigm and Energy continue to make very good speakers also. Try to audition several brands.
