    Sounds great. Matches my Q350's perfectly in both sound and looks. Expensive considering you can get a pair of Q350's on sale $500 which use the same driver as this speaker. It also takes up a lot of room but overall I'm happy 10-10 would buy again.

    I paired it with my KEF LS50 Special Edition Black bookshelves for my home theater. Sounds really good and blends great with the 5.25” Uni Q drivers. Listened to the Q650C as well. A lot larger but couldn’t really tell a difference in size.

    I am using this center in my bedroom system. It replaced a Q150 on its side for center duties and the upgrade was night and day difference. No more having to boost the center channel level so I could hear dialog. Matches very well with rest of the Q series. It's a big boy for sure. Just make sure you have room for it. Also, it is expensive, but worth the upgrade price.

    This is an amazing center channel speaker. Super clear throughout and the voices really come through. It has amazing sound and caps off my Kef Q series speaker setup. Highly recommend!

    It's definitely an upgrade from my old center speaker. It's also about twice as deep, which wasn't too big a deal, but it does take up quite a bit of space. That said, it pairs well with the kef 350s, and I don't have to add extra gain to the center channel. I did back off on 65 hz a little, but otherwise am happy with it flat. Do wish grilles were included.

    These 2.5 center speakers were way more than I expected! Definitely worth it! I love the clarity you get with them but you also get a ton of weight and presence. After more than 2 years they are still as good as day one, great quality. Would buy them again.

    Before purchasing my KEF speaker set-up (including a pair of Q series floorstanding speakers and a Kube8 subwoofer), I went into Best Buy to learn and hear about the ELAC series. Unfortunately, they had them in the magnolia room, but no longer had them hooked to up to the system. Therefore, the consultant demonstrated the KEFs to me. I was blown away! The voices come out crystal clear in the center channel and the other KEFs sounded just as good to give a complete and full sound that easily filled the room. I listened to a few other brands in the magnolia room, but kept going back to the brand I had never heard of before, the KEFs. I've had these in my home now for just over a month and I'm VERY happy with the speakers. The center channel speaker alone is better than either of the expensive soundbars I had previously. I love the clarity of the voices with this setup.

    Such a clean center, can handle whatever you throw at it when using Atmos or Surround. Blenda perfectly with Kef towers. The combo is just a perfect match. Very clear vocals and detailed sound when watching movies.

    It’s a large speaker but man is it the clearest and cleanest sounding channel I’ve ever heard. It was picked for me by my consulting team and I’m very happy. Make sure you look at dimensions before buying?

    Good power. But most importantly, the dialogue is loud and crystal clear, and doesn't get lost in the other speakers in the 5.1.2 setup. A little expensive, but still really impressive.

    KEF is a great brand and the Q series is a great value. Recommend getting this model as the center is the. most important speaker for theater use/surround sound. Love the Uni-Q technology as the sound dispersion is excellent.

    I replaced a KEF center channel from another era and from a different class. My movies nights were instantly elevated and dynamic. Waiting for my Q950s to arrive now.
