Review 2 of 14 , from San Francisco

Price Paid:  $1200.00 from Sound System

Summary:
Before I bought these I had already owned the Kef Q70, probably the best imaging speaker I've heard. I was setting up a Home theater and wanted to match the rears with the fronts. Unfortunately the Q70's were no longer available and was replaced by the Q75's. I thought hey I'll put these new "improved" models as my mains and use the old speakers for the rear. To my disappointment the Q75's were very muddy and the great kef imaging was completely gone. No matter were I placed it I can hear exactly were the sound was coming from. I ended up hiding them in the rear were they couldn't do much damage to the music. A very disappointing speaker.

Strengths:
Nice low bass for movies.

Weaknesses:
poor imaging and very muddy.

Review 4 of 14 , from Palatine Il

Price Paid:  $1200.00 from Doulass TV

Summary:
The Q75 now sounds great in my listening room. Great imagining, works well across a wide varity of music. The two issues that I have with them is the need for to resolve was doubling the size of my power amp from a 100 watt Demon reciever to a 200 watt rotel amp. The other problem was speaker placement. I started off with them pigeon toe a foot and half away from the two corner of my rome. I them moved them to the center of the 14 foot long wall of my listening room and the booming bass problem went away.

So if you have the proper room placement and enough power they a A++ buy, if not you are going to be disappointed.

Strengths:
Great Imaging

Weaknesses:
Needed to have proper placement in my room

Review 5 of 14 , from The Netherlands

Price Paid:  $1400.00 from Staffhorst

Summary:
I use a Marantz PM 90-SE amplifier, wich is a very good one, to 'drive' my Q75. You'll need a heavy boy to drive these speakers, but when you got one... these speakers perform very well. Much better than his little brother Q65. Sound is great, but that can be read in the other reviews in this page. A thing to keep in mind: don't place the speakers against or very near to a wall. Second, these speakers need space. Don't place them in a small room, if you want to have the best results.

Strengths:
Sound, clarity, detail, response

Weaknesses:
very low bass (20-40Hz),

Similar Products Used:
Kef Q65, reference-1.
