## Description

KEF Q150 bookshelf speakers (pair, Black)

Review: Awesome and versitile bookshelf monitors - Some information so you know where I'm coming from. I was first exposed to these by my partner who uses them for a 5.1 surround setup. And that is amazing! Being passive speakers they require an external amp. But they can take plenty of power and pump out the volume. Watching Dune with these is an auditory experience! However, this review will focus on my own use case as a pair of near field desktop monitors. I picked these up on sale, to replace a pair of failing mackie cr5s. And let me tell you, it was worth the money. Physically they look amazing. I love the walnut as it gives them a bit more of a classy look compared to the black or white. They are also light but solid. I wouldn't want drop them, but if I did I don't think I would be too worried. The connectors are clearly colored and can use banana plugs or a screw-on connector. (Or you can cheat and just shoved speaker wire into the port). the little cover can be a little tricky to remove. But if you have decent nails it should come out with a little finagling. Being passive you are going to NEED a separate amp to use these. These are known to like power so if you want volume pick an amp accordingly. I am using a Schiit Rekkr through a magni/modi combo. And while it's not the most powerful speaker amp it has been more than enough to run these. On the Magni's 0db gain setting (Middle on the switch) with my computer volume maxed these speakers sit comfortably in the middle of the volume dial and they are crisp and clear no matter what music, game or podcast I've put through them. With the rekkr you can crank the volume and while loud, it's certainly not deafening like you might expect so it's likely a little under powered for the purpose. But it has served me nicely so far. After upgrading I have started to use these more than my HD 6XXs the only things that beats these out for me is my Audeze LCDXs and those cost more than my entire audio setup, so take that as you will. If you're in the market for new speakers and want to take the dive into high quality passive monitors. Grab these on sale and you will not be disappointed. Just make sure the rest of your setup is up to the task to run these power hunger speakers.
Review: These look as stunning as they sound! - I don't normally write reviews for any product that I purchase unless they really stand out to me, but I felt compelled to write one for the Q150's within minutes of listening to them. I'll admit, I initially bought these because of the looks. The pictures don't do it justice because they look absolutely stunning in person. The perfectly sharp edges and aluminum woofer give it an elegant and modern look. Not to mention, the Uni-Q Driver Array. I'm a big Klipsch fan and while they sound clear and big, the Q150's have perfect imaging. It's almost like the speakers aren't there. Since the tweeter is placed right in the middle of the woofer, it doesn't matter what height or distance you listen to them because the sound comes from a single point source. Build quality: I previously bought a pair of Klipsch RP-500m's, but I had to return them because of the poor quality control nowadays. Out of the box, I could tell that these are expensive speakers. The vinyl wrapping of the cabinet is very sleek and sharp. I couldn't find any imperfections, especially at the edges. I will caution, however, that it can easily get scratched if not being careful. The woofer is assembled perfectly and looks sophisticated with the aluminum material and waveguides. The small KEF "name tag" looks very chic and unique as opposed to other speaker brands simply printing their logo on the cabinet. It's difficult to see in the pictures, but the "Uni-Q Driver Array" is printed in a dark blue color which I thought was black. Nevertheless, great build quality. Sound quality: Wow. It's really hard to describe how these sound because it's almost like the sound isn't coming from the speakers at all. What I can detail is how clear and crisp everything is. The highs are crisp and crystal clear. The mids are clear and warm. Then there's the bass. Do not believe in the frequency range numbers. These definitely go down beyond the claimed 51Hz. I was worried about having to get a subwoofer, coming from RP-500m's, but these produce an astonishing amount of bass for the size. Provided in the box are two bass port plugs with 2 stages: both foam pieces together or you can remove the inner foam piece for just a foam ring. My advice: put them in with just the outer foam because it tightens up the bass and makes it less boomy. All in all, these sound great. I like electronic music mostly and these are perfect for EDM or house music. Deadmau5 sounds amazing on these. Likewise, these will sound great with pretty much any genre of music. I'm powering them with a Nobsound TPA3116 100W mini amplifier and it's plenty of power. I did recently purchase an Audioengine N22 amplifier and while it sounded great with the KEFS, it unfortunately had unbalanced channels. So I'm sticking with the Nobsound for now. I'm sure these would sound much better with a high end amplifier, but it shows how forgiving these are of the power source. In conclusion, these are great for near field listening: punchy bass, warm mids, and crystal clear highs. These definitely need to be broken in because they will sound harsh during the first couple of hours. After that, they become mellow and warm sounding. It's easy to listen to and pretty to look at. Can't wait to see what KEF does in the future!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would it affect performance to place these on their side (sideways)?**
A: Thank you for the question! Because of the design of the Uni-Q driver you can place this either on its side or upright - You'll experience a wide, clean sound stage either way!  Inside the box is a set of rubber feet that you can put on the sides of the speaker or the bottom - wherever you like. I would suggest using these so that your furniture and the speaker finish doesn't get rubbed up.  The speaker finish is pretty durable but still, I strongly suggest using these little rubber feet. Happy listening! Hope you had a great holiday.

**Q: For desk 72in x 34 in cynder block walls small area. kef q150b or active speakers x-300a need a amp only for the q150b good amp? same price.**
A: Q150B better solution if you have a great amp.

**Q: Are these ideal for left/right in a 5.1? My room is 12'x19'.**
A: Ideal is subjective... however, in a room that size for a 5.1 it should rock it! Make sure it's at least a foot or two off the back wall and not squish into the corner and you can adjust the bass with the port plugs, have fun & enjoy!

**Q: is there a possibility to ship to Israel?**
A: Yes, Amazon ships to most countries.  Israel probably has its own Amazon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compared to Q Acoustics 3020i and Jamo S803s - Kef q150's are the clear winner
*by N***K on August 10, 2019*

I bought these in white for Father's day when they were on sale for $300. I also bought Q Acoustics 3020i's ($300) and Jamo S803's ($200) around the same time to audition them and see which pair I wanted to keep. I ended up keeping the Kef q150s (and the Jamos). All three are very good speakers which I think anyone would be pretty happy to have. All three look really good, which actually matters a lot to me- but I think the Kefs are the prettiest. Build quality is similar across the board, I don't have any issues with any of them. The Jamos are certainly a step down from the other two, but they still look really sharp and nothing was concerning to me. Q Acousitcs may have a slight edge in cabinet construction over the Kefs, but all are pretty good. The Jamo S803's are great- they have a dynamic signature that bumps up the highs and the mid-lows a bit. This is great for apartment-level listening, as I can have the speakers at a moderate level that won't bother my neighbors and still find the speakers fun to listen to. I found the Q-Acoustics very flat- to the point of being comparatively boring at the volume levels I prefer. The Jamo's don't play as deep as I was hoping- subwoofer absolutely needed. The Kef's actually got deeper than the other two by quite a bit, which surprised me because the driver is smaller if you don't count the massive surround. Anyways, the Jamo's give some energy to the higher bass, but fall off too quickly to satisfy me at least. Also, the Jamos are way less efficient than the other two pairs- they need more power. On the other hand, I have an amp rated to 20 watts per channel RMS that was capable of driving the Jamo's beyond a comfortable listening level for me in a mid-sized room. They are inefficient, but you don't need anything special for them to work. The Q Acoustic 3020i's are also very good. I like the rounded corners. They are bigger than they look because these speakers are very deep. I think I like the proportions of the Kefs the best, but again, all three look nice and sound good. The 3020i's have a pretty flat sound signature and are certainly a bit more refined than the Jamos. Imaging and sound stage were similar between the two, however. Again, I kept the Jamos and not the Q Acoustics because I simply enjoyed listening to music using the Jamos more than when using the Q Acoustics. The 3020i's are probably "better" but I personally recommend the Jamos- even if they were the same price, but especially since the Jamos are quite a bit cheaper. I was actually blown away to hear for myself how much better than the other two the Kefs are. In every way. I could truly hear the difference that the Uni Q (concentric) driver makes. The difference was apparent immediately - nothing sounded wrong or bad when I listened to the other speakers, but everything had more depth, space, and clarity coming through the kefs. Plus, to my surprise, these speakers got noticeably deeper than the other two. I still need a subwoofer to suit my own tastes, but these are much closer to the point where you don't need one, and for many genre's these would be perfect on their own. Still, I think the imaging is the real standout feature of these speakers that makes me really love them. The speakers start to blend in to the background and it feels like the room is just making music when you play a well-recorded track with these positioned well. My brother in law has LS50's, and these get impressively near that experience for a fraction of the cost. The LS50s are better in every way, much the same as these Kefs are better than the other two pairs- but the Uni-Q driver is not just hogwash marketing malarkey. At the sale price of around $300 (which these also hit during black Friday and much of the Christmas Season) the decision is easy. But at $550, it isn't clear cut whether the difference is worth the cost. That is going to be a personal decision. I would probably pick the Jamos for the best value. All three pairs of speakers are very good, but the q150's were the clear winner in my comparison. Note: I tested these speakers in a living room, but I am going to put one pair on my desk eventually. However, for now I can't say anything about how the speakers compare near-field.
