    Best sounding bookshelf speakers I've ever owned. Bass response is perfect for my needs but if I didn't have to be respectful for others in the house I would probably add a sub. I do think the aesthetics can't be beat. The wood actually matches the cabinet they are in.

    Had been using the q150’s as the main speakers in my home theater setup. Wanted to try something a little bigger and these were very much worth the upgrade. They did sound a little muddy out of the box, but it just came down to placement and room treatment. Followed KEF’s suggested placement, put some sound absorption behind them and they opened up and smoothed out significantly. I’m not noticing any issues with sound quality at any volume - low is amazing and they get louder than I could ever listen while maintaining clarity. I have these paired with the q250 center and think they blend well.

    These are amazing bookshelf speakers for the price at $500. These produce a very wide and high sound stage. I was blown away at the amount of base hey produce. Definitely recommend these if your looking for a bookshelf speaker. Very handsome looking too!

    Best speakers I've owned. These are great for the price. The bass is plenty punchy. I'm using a small 50w x2 AMP from Amazon with Bluetooth and aux and it works very well. This is my not too over the top desktop setup.

    Very Fine Speakers

    I read lots of reviews of bookshelf speakers and was already leaning toward these KEF Q350s when they went on sale at Best Buy. That was enough to get me to take the plunge. The speakers look great, were well packaged, and arrived quickly. I have to say though that I was a bit underwhelmed by the quality of sound when I first hooked them up, but after several weeks of gentle playing they have opened up nicely and sound quite good. I play a variety of music, 60s rock, classical, and easy-listening vocals and am pleased with how they all come across on the KEFs. As others have noted, the KEF sound stage is remarkable - Johnny Mathis sounds like he's standing in my living room and Ronstadt's voice is as beautiful and powerful as you would expect. Likewise, Karajan's Beethoven symphonies are clear and expansive. And the Beatles, Righteous Brothers, and Supremes sound dandy. I believe a quality amp putting out say 100 watts per channel would allow you to get the most out of these KEFs, even if you play only at low volume levels. But if you have a smaller room and play at reasonable volume levels you can get by with half that. I have the KEFs on 24-inch Pangea stands by the way and that puts the tweeters at close to ear level when seated. Although bookshelf speakers, these KEFs are fairly large so place them on solid stands or a table top. The speakers look striking without the optional grill covers and you can certainly run them that way. I bought the covers too and like that more classic look.

    They are excellent sounding speakers, good bass and will fill any medium size room easily. I decided to return them just because I think they were weren't much improvement from my Rp-600Ms.

    Amazing product. I bought as a pair for my records and they sound better than bowers, and Martin Logan. If you’re not buying Kef you’re wasting your money trust me.

    These are great sounding and looking speakers! I was surprised how detailed the imaging and how wide the soundstage was. You can't beat these speakers at this price. You would have to spend more than triple the money in order to hear a minimal (at best) improvement on the sound. I'm beyond impressed with these speakers!

    Fantastic sound. I use my Q350's on 28-inch stands and with a high-quality subwoofer. The Q350's sound really good on their own, well balanced with good but not deep bass and very good imaging. Adding the subwoofer was transformative. I can't say the make and model but it's a moderately large 10" ported subwoofer with a 350 watt amp. I'm driving the KEFs with the 125 wpc Sonos AMP which has built-in bass management making it all easy to put together and blend. At the regular retail price the Q350 is a good value. At the sale price over Christmas they are an absolute steal.

    So glad i gave these KEF speakers a try. Love the detail and sound quality these put out. Not in your face, just reproduces the sound the way it was meant to be. Whether or not you find these to be too bright will, i think, depend on your receiver and how you have ti tuned. These sound balance and detailed on my pioneer VSX-1124 and even better still with my new Yamaha A4A
