Product Description
A full bandwidth three-way floorstander that packs real punch, iQ7 floods even the largest room with an intricate and intensely physical 3D soundscape. The spec says it all: a new generation Uni-Q point source array with our latest aluminum dome tweeter at the centre of the matching titanium-coated 160mm (6-12) cone, partnered by a dedicated long-throw bass driver of the same size. Response is accurate and distortion-free at all volumes, with fluidly articulate midrange, generous bass extension and faultless 3-D imaging. The tonal match is perfect with the rest of the range, and the shrouded terminals are designed for bi-wiring or bi-amplification. Spine-tingling home theatre has never been more affordable.

Excellent sounding speakers November 15, 2008
G. Lavery
I bought a pair of these with pretty much only doing online review comparisons. I asked for advice on avsforum.com and a few people recommended these speakers based on my cost specifications. From my research, there appeared to be a few better brands that gave better bang for your buck, mostly specialty brands the ONLY made speakers. I had some gift certificates and couldn't buy the specialty speakers as they did not exist on amazon. I also went into circuit city to listen to some speakers. I liked the clarity on the KEF iQ7's more than the few brands I listened to at circuit city. These speakers give out really clear sounds and can handle pretty loud volumes well. My fiancee has a slight hearing problem, and loves the speakers because we don't have to turn the volume up nearly as high for casual TV watching b/c it comes out so clear. I used to have the Onkyo HT-S907 7.1 Channel Component Home Theater System which was rated pretty high at the time, but I decided to upgrade to real speakers and my oh my was it ever worth it. Setup was mildly difficult compared to HTIB b/c I'm not super audio tech savvy, but will be mildly difficult for anyone that has never experienced actually having to cut your own speaker cables and plug them into to the backs of these guys. Overall it was definitely worth it. I gave it 5 stars even though they are not "perfect" I feel they are very great for the cost.
If you want to listen to music, get something like this! October 23, 2008
Ignacio Litardo (Capital, Buenos Aires, Argentina)
It's difficult to explain the difference between a device that plays music and anything attached to this. Everybody that's been chez moi is surprised. At first some are bewildered by the price for "just a pair of speakers" but after 2 minutes of listening, they sit down, shut up, and start thinking :). You'll see. br /This particular brand of speakers is probably better suited for classical, Jazz, "vocal" or ethnic music than, say, Rock roll. If you want something to fill the room, probably a JBL, Infinity or the like would fit the bill. Probably you know this and way more if you're reading this review :) but well, we all started some day, and when doing so, it's hard to know what's what. br /The tweeters are particularly sensitive, the midrange woofers really make all the difference (you can sense they "working" (vibrating) almost always, and a big "resonance box" for the woofers is just what makes everything sound true, compared to your dingy PC or TV speakers. Come on, try them now :). You don't have to listen to Britten's Cello suites or Bach's Organ works to feel it. br /The finishing is perfect, classy and inobtrusive. br /The grille is somewhat flimsy. One of mine broke after ?, as I didn't get any replacement, had to fix it myself. Nothing important. br /Life starts after you get one pair of U$S 300 or more speakers. br /This is the best "achat" I've made in my life, technologically speaking. As I have them plugged to my TV and PC, they fulfill those duties to perfection. Listening to the news on TV or playing NFS would never be the same for you :).
Awesome speakers February 17, 2008

These are amazing speakers for the price. I originally heard a pair of iQ5s and was impressed with their dispersion and soundstaging - these iQ7s are one step up and they put out a very wide and deep soundstage with excellent clarity. I use a pair of these with a 20 watt/ch tube amp for dedicated music listening and am constantly amazed at the sound. They seem to be a bit on the brighter side but that may be because my speakers are brand new out of the box and aren't broken-in yet.
