These speakers are worth every penny. Full and rich sound for tv and music. Bass is fine, but adding a sub will definitely enhance them.

My first pair of Kef speakers and I’m truly impressed with the sound. Not to mention I purchased them on sale so if you’re looking for some bookshelf speakers check these out.

Excellent bookshelf speakers, with good soundstage and presence. These sound very good and work well at low volumes, which is a big plus. The only downside is the grills do cost extra if you want them.

Excellent value for the money. Replaced my old and crap for rock music Koss speakers that someo know it all recommended 6 years ago. These new ones are top notch and for $299 a pair they are on par with $8-900 a pair speakers. Highly recommended. Super easy to install, make sure you have speaker cables as they don't come with one.

I've always liked Kef speakers (although I own and prefer Bowersd & Wilkins). When I saw these on sale for half price I jumped at upgrading the speakers in our secondary system. I wasn't disappointed. Although no speaker this size will have really good bass they are surprisingly satisfying for casual listening. The kids and highs are quite good and on good speaker stands they project much larger than their diminutive size. Well worth the $300/pair paid.

Great design; great value. They work well as surrounds or as fronts (paired with a sub) for a home theater set up.
If you can get these on sale, do so.

Bought these speakers to pair with a vintage Samsui receiver and amp, along with a new denon cd player and turn table for vinyl. They are perfect. The sound is fantastic. Very happy with these speakers quality and sound at this price range. Highly recommend so far. Have owned for about a month.

Great speaker for 2.0 channel setup. Quality speaker and worth the money at $299 for the pair. Liked the pair so much I bought a second pair for another setup.

Crisp clear highs, great imaging and separation and surprising bass given their size. Not sure I can justify the purchase of the newer Q1 Metas with these being SO good! Wouldn't pay full retail But at 299 these are an absolute solid buy!

I am using these as surrounds in a 9.1 system. They blend very nicely with my q350s and q650 up front as well as my q50 atmos modules. I had pioneer rear atmos speakers before and the difference is notable, in tweeter timber matching and rear impact as well. I think these need a sub if you plan to use them in a system with heavy volume. I have cranked mine to 0 db and havent heard any distortion. I think that is thanks to my pb 3000 sub crossed at 80 hz. Without it, they wouldn't be able to reach that volume. Very detailed and transparent sound here. Dont expect crazy bass boosting. These play what is supposed to be heard and nothing else. Easy to drive and sleek looking in white.

I came to the Q150s after demoing next to some Polk T series. Both speakers sounded good, and the Polks were ‘punchier’, but the Q150s were significantly better in terms of clarity and soundstage. I’m no audiophile, but I’m impressed with the value from KEF at this price point.

Was looking for some compact bookshelf speakers for a mix of TV and music. Love the look of these and the sound was good for the price. Unfortunately they were just a little to large for my space/aesthetics so I I ended up returning. I still would recommend though if they work in your room!

For $600 you could probably find better, but at $300 I think you would be hard pressed to find something that fills the room so nicely.
