KEF q100 or SVS Prime

[rubenlopez]

Hello, quick questions... between those 2 in title, which would you pick?... (both around the same price at Amazon)...

Another one... do you think a KEF q150 is much better/worthy than the q100? The later is half the price... what’s the better deal?

Can’t audition any...

The idea to hook them up to a yamaha receiver, mostly for music and ocassional movie...

Thanks and feel free to throw any other alternative at around $250

Q100 sounds good. Not sure about SVS.

Try the Philharmonic AA

Philharmonic AA if you have space around the speakers (especially behind), KEF Q100 if you have to have them up against a wall. The KEF is front ported, the AA is rear ported.

The new Q150 is noticeably more extended in the high end without ever being bright, and extends bass a little deeper. It's a personal thing to say it's worth more than twice the money. The original price of Q100 was $550 a pair and included the grilles and dual binding posts (which few people really need or use correctly.) The new Q150 puts the Uni-Q driver at the center of the front baffle, moves the port to the rear, deletes the dual binding posts, and makes the grilles magnetic and optional for the same $550 in exchange for better sound quality.
