I've listed to KEF for many years and finally had the opportunity to obtain a pair of KEF 205's. These speakers really perform well and you will not be disapointed. If you can give them a listen at a high end shop please do so, to my ears they out performed many other brands. I was actually on my way to purchase a pair of B&W, but these KEF 205's were much smoother and clearer in their presentation than any other speaker that I have ever heard at any price point. If you can afford them, get them
