    The KEF Q250 center channel is fantastic! It blends so seamlessly with my KEF R3s and the rest of my surround setup that everything just feels perfectly balanced. Dialogue is crystal clear, and it adds such depth to the whole experience. Whether it’s music or movies, the Q250 really brings everything together—couldn’t be happier with how well it fits into my system!

    amazing sound quality. much more full-range signal than my previous "home-theatre-in-a-box" center channel. it's also 8 times bigger in volume it seems. i have it paired to a Denon AVR-S740H and they pair very well.

    This replaced an older and cheaper center speaker. This fitted exactly into the space I have so a bigger speaker wasn’t an option. It’s sounds great. Vocals are clear and overall it has made a useful improvement to the overall sound quality. The main left and right speakers are vintage KEF floor standers and this speaker seems like an ideal match. Recommended One note of caution is that this doesn’t come with a grill cover and covers are impossible to find. I think KEF no longer makes them.

    I purchased this speaker as open stock in excellent condition. When I picked it up, I was handed a bare speaker. It had no box, no documentation, and no protective feet. It also have numerous scratches. I asked the cashier and was told open box means nothing included. She told me they could look for another, but that was all they showed. I kept it, but feel ripped off.

    Great sound crisp center, it has been a great product so far. I just think they should sell it with the grille already since its a hassle to find the right one for this.

    Great sound. Clear voice and extra mids are a really nice addition to my surround system. A little pricey, but worth it. Easy to hook up.

    It's a solid center channel. It definitely does the job as it relates to Separation, allowing the tower speakers to focus on mid's and bass. Just remember this and that this is a 5 1/4 driver with 2 passive radiators. You are not getting 3 speakers/drivers.

    This center speaker will give you everything you want. The only reason it did not get 5 stars is you have to purchase the grill cover separately which is ridiculous. However, it is not expensive around $30.

    Definitely better then any soundbar. It's big and heavy so make sure you measure the area you plan to put it in.

    So clear, that we had to reduce high end frequency bands via EQ, as it was a little too piercing for us. But you can easily get them sounding amazing. For the price, the cloth covers should have come with it
