Re: Kef Cresta 3's

Hi,

Haven't heard the Crestas but I did recently purchase the Q15.2 which uses the same drivers as the Q35.2 (which has a larger cabinet for bass extension).

What impressed me abou the Q is the incredible imaging and natural midrange. Highs are not pronounced but are very smooth and neutral. Soundstage, as you might expect, is also terrific.

The one quibble I have with the Q15.2 is the bass tuning. You can hear coloration at the lower end of deep male vocals but I think there is a solution. If you listen to the Q95 (center channel) which is in a sealed box, it has none of those colorations.

Ideally then, a Q95 and subwoofer would be the best, acoustically. It is less expensive to get a pair of Q15.2s and plug the port while reducing internal volume. For $250 a pair, I think the Q15.2 is one of the best bargains out there.

Hope that helps.
Adnan
