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

I used to have a set of KEF Q1s powered by a Denon 3803 reciever, sounded fantastic.

Those KEF Q1's are great monitors in my opinion, they reach pretty low too, subwoofer might still be needed, depends on how much bass you want.

I Origionally bought them as "GET BY" speakers, then once they broke in, speaker replacement became less and less of an issue to me.

The Q1s are great. If you can find a place that you can audition them, you really oughtta do it. The Q1s do a good job of reminding you that you dont have to pay ALOT of money to get good sound.
