like a fine wine, improves with age

 

Great bang for your buck but give them time...

initially I hated them as the bass, treble and vocals all gort muddled and were not distinct ; it took a FULL MONTH of moderate-heavy use for them to open up and the soundstaging to come into its own ; Now they are brilliant

My beloved doesn't like the look of them without the front covers (reckons they are very show-offy)

Rock Solid

 

Very capable speaker. It takes several hours of break-in before the mids and highs fully disentangle themselves, but then the clarity is unreal. The bass is crisp, but will not rumble the house like a sub will. Still, if you are a music listener rather...

Outstanding !

 

I purchased these based upon the positive reviews. Let me first say that this is how I purchased my Bose 301 series V ( replaced by the IQ30's). The iQ30's revealed so much detail that I have been missing from my music. The Bose were muffled and...

Fantastic speakers, fantastic deal

 

I bought these IQ30s to be my left and rights to complete my surround system which consisted of KEF iQ7s, an iQ60C, and a PSW2500. They wired up with the same terminals as the rest of the iQ family, and sound fantastic. You can pick this up for good...

KEF iQ 30

 

I've been in search of a "reasonable" priced bookshelf for a month or more now. My budget is to stay under $600. I've sampled the B&W 685, Polk RTiA3 and Paradigm Studio 20's to give you an idea for comparing my review.

Review: KEF iQ30 Loudspeakers

 

One great benefit of the Uni-Q geometry used in the KEF iQ30 is that both the bass driver and the tweeter have almost exactly the same dispersion pattern or, as KEF frames it, ‘matched directivity', so as a listener moves off-axis, the high frequencies...

Product Specifications

The iQ30 is an incredibly versatile music or home entertainment speaker with a seductive lightness of touch. With the same curved cabinet design minimizing internal reflections, it has a lyricism and depth not normally associated with bookshelf speakers. It delivers an excellent dynamic expression with a bass response that is deep and expansive. The 165mm Uni-Q array and 'tangerine' waveguide gives a dispersion that is characteristically consistent, so you enjoy the same extraordinary illusion of presence wherever you sit. It's like re-experiencing your favorite tracks or movies for the very first time.
