SOUND BATTLE! Which One is Better? KEF Q150 VS KEF Q350 - Classical Music Part 1

The 150 is cleaner and more revealing. The 350 by comparison sounds boxy with cabinet resonance. I bought the 150 and paired it with an 8-inch Definitive Tech DN 8 sub.
There's a reason KEF went with the smaller driver for their LS50 Meta

May I have the song please good sir

This is a tough one... but I think I need to give the win to the Kef..

얼마전 스펜더A2와 함께 KEF Q시리즈 소리가 궁금해 Q150을 구입했는데 저렴하지만 훌륭한 소리를 내주네요.구닥다리 오디오랩 8000C+8000P도 좋은 소리지만 오리LS3+8000P 조합으로 들으니 전형적인 하이엔드음이네요. 스레숄드FET10e+8000p는 그야말로 감동적입니다.

There's something more satisfying about the Q150s-- it's a very sweet sounding speaker that has soul.

As close as they are in design and construction, I find the Q 150 a tad better. I have a question: Do you record the speakers like we see them on the video or do you place them wider apart? Thanks!

유닛에서 차이가느껴짐 작은것은 압축된 꽉찬소리 q350은 여유있고 풍성한 넉넉한 소리

Which amplifier is better for kef q350?

Could you please repeat this test (or Q150 vs LS50) using the modern music used in your other excellent videos, thanks!

Le q350 sembrano più equilibrate

i dont know its super hard to tell anything with that bad hum in the q350

i hear a weird humming sound when you play the q350 why is that? cant really get over it

Забавно, разницы не услышал.

I wonder what rap would be like on these?

Those q150s sound so much more crisp than the big brother.i own the q150 and was thinking of getting the big brother for the front but now I made up my mind ,I will buy another set of q150s for surround sound. Thank you for the video, you made up my mind.i have a subwoofer but it's not necessary.

y quien sonaba,

I appreciate the sound demo with classical music! The 350 sounds fuller, the 150 more open. Bigger difference than expected. If you have a subwoofer go for the 150.

Wow, you're a WIZARD - exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks!

well i can honestly say the Q150 is a gem, esp for the price point. Just out of a demo session at my local audio geek, used my rega brio, bluesound vault 2i using spotify and a small selection of cd’s….

the speakers tested using the same audio tracks for each were B&W 607s2 Anniversary, 606S2 Anniversary, Kef Q350 and Q150 and out of them all the little kef was head and shoulders above the rest. It had loads of bass, not going to break windows but more than enough to compliment all of the selected source material, great detail, nice highs, more than adequate lows, midrange was there in spades, i couldn’t believe it, i had to go through a few runs on each speaker just to double check, absolute gem….. needless to say i have a set en route.

tracks used
Eric Clapton Unplugged running on faith spotify
Blind Faith can’t find my way home spotify
Jose Gonzalez Heartbeats spotify
Damien Rice Cannonball CD
Pink Floyd Breathe CD
Pink Floyd on the run CD
Pink Floyd Time CD
Iron Butterfly In a gadda da vida spotify
Man to Man male stripper spotify
Cypress Hill I wanna get high CD
Cypress Hill Lock Down CD
Cypress Hill hits from the bong CD
ACDC walk all over you spotify

obviously there were highs and lows to each speaker for the selection but the one that carried them all with pure enjoyment and the one that i was less critical of was the little Q150….it has great soundstage, detail, clarity, Bass, treble and mids……..again at the price point a real kick in the head to its pricier big brother and it’s competitors…..

so there you go, Rega Brio with Q150…..a great match….totally subjective i know, but try it for yourself….. the proof of a pudding is in the eating!!

The soundstage and the imaging of the q350 is second to none I swear. So wide, precise and clean. If I can hear that thru this video, it would be crazier in real life.

I'm listening to this through Q150s, lol. Your own opinion would've helped.

So, if You cant play other type of music, tell us which one Is better, More acurate More neutral etc for an average room size

Rega brio 2017 vs cambridge cxa 81

Thanks for the comparaison ! This type of comparaison is much helpful to feel differences between speakers!

COOL!

Nice comparison, though you could have chosen something with more instruments, ideally a full symphony orchestra. That's more difficult for a Speaker to reproduce.

Q350 sounds fuller as expected. I am a Q150 owner myself as part of a bedroom system

The 150 sounds a lot clearer to me. The 350 sounds more recessed and hollow in the midrange

I can't hear no differences... for me they sound the same

Bw 606 or 706 better?

Isn't very helpful with classical music. I can't tell anything based on this music. Play some music with more to go and then we will see about differences. I can't imagine someone buying the Q 150's to listen to classical music. If you buy these speakers you want rhythm to blast through them. They are fun speakers.
