    I purchased a pair of these shortly before your review came out. I was blown away by the soundstage! I'd (apparently) never heard speakers with good soundstage. I'm a very data driven person and I absolutely appreciate all you do in your reviews.

    Still the best objective reviewer on yt and more. Presents the data and lets the viewer decipher the data while giving hints. Absolutely wonderful Erin!

    Hi Erin, nice review. I ordered these like 4 hours before you posted your video. Excited to give them a try

    I just bought Q150 for 400 Euros, this are great bookshelves speakers, so happy with it. The sound stage is incredible for the price. Thanks for your very professional review.

    great points being communicated throughout this review, newcomers to acoustics and sound reproduction soon have a library of videos in your channel! And us nerds that have been in the thick of it for some time and reads the website always enjoys the video pacing, thoroughness in editing as the icing on the cake. Cheers!

    I've been wanting to check these out and at the current price seems they are worth a try. Thanks for the detailed analysis!

    Great review. I was always really interested in how these speakers performed; even though I never considering buying them. I just don't have a situation to make these work in my home.

  • @scanspeak00

    I suspect the midrange resonance is due to the bass-mid driver surround (the frequency matches the diameter of that driver).

    Good review, Kef really does a good job with their speakers. I'm just now watching Daily Hifi podcast and I'm excited that you're potentially getting the 10" coaxial from JTR. Question: have you ever thought about testing a speaker with a 12db/octave 80hz filter applied to see how stuff like distortion/compression changes. Definitely wouldn't need to be in every review but I think it could make for an interesting video.

    I wish I understood what all this meant more easily. Audiophile stuff is intense haha. Seems thorough, keep up the good work.

    I’ve been using q150 since last year and i really like it. Like erin mentioned, the soundstage of this speaker is very good. The only down side is i can hear distortion when you ramp up the volume so it is good for desk-fi with lower volume. I’ve tried 3-4 speakers around $300 price range and this one has been the best speaker for me

  • @Gunmastercomua
