 However, you should go with the HSU HB-1 MK2. They get loud easily and you're in a decent sized room so you'll need that. Also, they sound fantastic.

Use case will be a mix of TV/movies and video games. I want to stay below \~$500 total ideally.

Advice for good speakers in my living room for my tv?

The KEF Q350 bookshelf speaker, the bigger brother of the KEF Q150, incorporates and successfully builds upon everything KEF fans have come to know and love about the bookshelf speaker. The New Q350 boasts a revamped Unit-Q driver array with a damped tweeter loading tube designed to smooth out treble frequencies, and reimagined crossovers to provide cleaner and more accurate bass. Architecturally, the Q350 benefits from a New port, which has been moved to the rear of the speaker to improve audio clarity, and the Unit-Q driver array has been relocated to the middle of the cabinet to reduce unwanted internal resonances. These changes between the Q300 and Q350 have transformed an already breathtaking bookshelf speaker into one that truly needs to be heard to be believed. The Q350 is available in sleek matte Black and white vinyl finishes. Grilles for the Q350 are sold separately.

 Looking with the company's proprietary coaxial driver in the middle and nothing else, the driver consists of a 6.5 inch aluminum offer with a one-inch aluminium tweeter. This design enables the speakers to give you excellent imaging with most music and movies. The speaker comes in a choice of black or white and it's reportable away from walls or your overly boost bass levels, and it's based that this speaker does well from funk to rock

 To classical the CAF offers a punchy low end that lends the speaker a warmer tone, the most American competitors, the calf is less fussy about the amplification. You use all the type of music you listen to then most audiophile designs. They simply sound good with movies and TV. The speakers are able to help you pick out voices without difficulty and will also show plenty of pluck with action movies

KEF's Q350 speakers pack a punch

 New from Amazon for about $ 350, they go on sale for 350, quite often for that price. I think this is great. I will recommend this all day long for $ 350. However, normally the price is about five hundred to five hundred and fifty dollars

 It emphasizes enjoyability and kind of smooth rich sound over just about every other feature, and if you want that the speaker is not gon na be the one for you and the last downside is going to be price. I bought these about four months ago on sale. New from Amazon for about $ 350, they go on sale for 350, quite often for that price. I think this is great

 What does this speaker good at well sound stage and the disappearing act? The Q 150 is one of the more elusive speakers that I've played around with. It really doesn't want me to know where it is in terms of locate ability in the room. These are very forgiving in terms of placement. You can back them against the wall

The Kef for people who don’t like Kef | Q150 Bookshelf Speaker Review

 If pushed hard, the bass will start to fall apart and become flabby. If you’re a basshead and like party volumes, I shouldn’t be the one mentioning you need floorstanders and/or a subwoofer. Lastly, I found it interesting that while my ear is actually 4-5 inches higher than tweeter level when they’re on my 28” stands, putting 4 inch yoga blocks underneath them to mimic a 32” stand (and become within an inch of ear level) revealed that they didn’t sound quite as good, becoming thinner and brighter. Goes without saying for any speaker, but definitely experiment with speaker height, width apart, toe-in, and distance from surrounding walls

Many reading this are probably in the same predicament they find themselves in when the Q150 and Q350 frequently go on sale for $300 and $500 respectively. I too found myself on that see-saw of trying to decide which to buy and if the Q350 was worth the extra $200. I scoured the internet for any comparisons or comments and found very little worthwhile info. From the bits I did gather, there seemed to be a general consensus that the Q150 had cleaner treble, but the Q350 sounded bigger, warmer, had better mids, and more bass

 I scoured the internet for any comparisons or comments and found very little worthwhile info. From the bits I did gather, there seemed to be a general consensus that the Q150 had cleaner treble, but the Q350 sounded bigger, warmer, had better mids, and more bass. That unless on a budget, one should just spring for the Q350. There’s also speculation that the Q150 is inherently superior because it uses the same size driver and similar size enclosure as the LS50

 They remind me of the UB5. No glaring faults, but just blah (I still remember liking the UB5 more). The urge to connect a power station and put a trillion watts into them so they can WAKE UP! Vocals definitely suffered because of this. While soft and gentle, they’re simply too muffled

Q350 vs Q150 | The Definitive Review

 The first thing that I notice is that the response is pretty linear from 90 hertz all the way up through 20,000. It's plus or minus five decibels all the way from 100 hertz straight through to 20,000 hertz. Bass response is fairly typical for a speaker of this size, with a roll-off starting at about 63 hertz. The flatness of the curve is really impressive

 Now, everybody's losing their complete minds over KEF, and today I wanna find out why. Stay tuned. All right guys, my name's Mike with Audio Architects, and today we're gonna be, like I said, reviewing, testing, and get inside these KEFs Q350s. Overall, I think they have a beautiful finish

 Featuring a computational fluid dynamics port design with the port repositioned to the rear of the speaker, clarity is improved by reducing the audibility of the mid-range leakage through the port. You'll also find single-wired speaker terminals in the back rather than the bi-wired arrangement of its predecessor, and the wall brackets from the old Q300s have been removed for a much neater, cleaner look. Now, let's go listen to them. All right, guys, REW time

 Now, let's go listen to them. All right, guys, REW time. Let's see what the measurements show. All right, guys, so here is the REW for the KEF Q350s

The KEF Q350 Loudspeaker REVIEWED! - YouTube

I toyed around with the thought of getting the Elac UB5s for quite a while, but they just didn't have that "it" factor I was looking for. That's about the time I came across a youtube channel demoing the KEF LS50s. While I didn't really want to spend LS50 money, I went to the KEF website and discovered the Q series. These Q350s seemed to be the "it" I was looking for

 I spent about two weeks educating myself on speaker manufacturers and their current offerings using user and professional reviews, Youtube audio demos and other sources of information. I looked at Fluance, Elac, SVS, Wharfedale, Q Acoustics, Dali, and many others.

After setting them up, I toed them in toward my listening position and connected them to my Marantz NR1607 (&nbsp;   Marantz NR1607 Ultra HD 7.2 Channel Network A/V Surround Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi             &nbsp;) using 12 gauge copper speaker wire. I then went through the Marantz Audyssey MultEQ room correction wizard using the Marantz-supplied calibration microphone.

Excellent speakers, but be weary of less-than-ideal placement

 Let's see. Oh, it's a vented aluminum dome. They're rated at 63 Hertz, up to 28,000 Hertz, 87 dB, 8 ohms. I tested these with a topping MX3

 Wild Jacks. So what are we talking about today? The Kev Q350s currently priced at $700. We're going to get to that though. So if you're new here, consider subscribing

 They're a good looking speaker. They're a good looking speaker. Alright, let's talk about soundstage and imaging. The room vibe when I had it hooked up to the topping and to a lesser extent, the Emotiva TA-100

 And then they put them on sale at $500 to get people excited to go buy them because they think it's actually a $700 speaker. It's actually a $500 speaker. Ain't a good one. It's not a $700 speaker

KEF Q350 Review - One of the best speakers ... - YouTube

 And the ultimate setup would be with the gigantic Q650C. But, they say, the center speaker is the most important speaker and you want the biggest speaker you can possibly afford.

 I tried the foam plugs for the bass reflex port in the back and positioning in/out from the walls, but the bass remained very woolly and not tight at all. Pairing with a subwoofer and having most of the bass go to the subwoofer cleans the sound signature up a little bit but the overall sound quality lacked detail and definition. The SONY CSS5 at $78-$128 per pair outperforms this $499-$599 speaker easily in definition, detail and instrument separation.

 The SONY CSS5 at $78-$128 per pair outperforms this $499-$599 speaker easily in definition, detail and instrument separation.

Decent mid/high detail but bass is overwhelming, very undefined and sloppy

  UPDATE 3/26/18: Shortly after posting this review, my Marantz NR1607 died. Amazon processed it as a return, even though I was past my 30 days (thanks Amazon). I then purchased the Denon AVR-X3300W ( https://www.amazon

 While I still think they could benefit from a little extra sub-50Hz encouragement, they're perfectly capable of creating an enjoyable Home Theater experience one their own.  TL;DR A bit heavy-handed in the upper mid-range on guitar-laden rock and similar mid-heavy material, but absolutely stunning with modern dance, 80s, Synthwave, Jazz, Acoustic and Easy Listening or Atmospheric material. An extremely impressive choice for your Home Theater. They're a little temperamental with regard to placement and orientation, but once you find the sweet spot, you'll be blown away

 I then purchased the Denon AVR-X3300W ( https://www.amazon.com/Denon-AVR-X3300W-Channel-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B01HL8KYAY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522117433&sr=8-3&keywords=denon+avr-x3300w ) after deciding to give D&M Holdings one more chance. The Denon has proved to be much more reliable, and ever so slightly less warm sounding, although I do feel it's punchier and more responsive, likely a result of the additional power

 This bookshelf can fill a room. Add a subwoofer if you want to hear things under 50 Hz. Choose the B&W606 if you want a slightly better tweeter.  It's not a completely neutral speaker

 For accuracy, dynamic range, and price, these are hard to beat. I chose this over the B&W606. This bookshelf can fill a room. Add a subwoofer if you want to hear things under 50 Hz

I have this paired with a 60wpc amplifier and it's plenty loud. Might downgrade the amplifier to 40 wpc. For accuracy, dynamic range, and price, these are hard to beat. I chose this over the B&W606
