Advantages: Style, sound and build quality Disadvantages: Bigger than expected
I picked up the eagerly anticipated Onkyo 606 a few weeks ago; I have paired it with a KEF 2005.2 5.1 surround speakers, both in silver finish. I purchased both from A1 Audio based in Sheffield, who supplied direct to me in Glasgow. I also bought 2 set of KEF floor stands to mount the speakers on.
The Onkyo/KEF system replaces a budget Sony out of the box DVD/surround 5.1 system... and what a difference, just a totally different experience. I have hooked up the Onk with my PS3 via HDMI for gaming, DVDs & Blu-ray use. Am not gonna put anything on the spec of the 606 here, as that is pretty widely available elsewhere.
I have connected the KEFs to the Onk with QED silver micro speaker cable.
Out of the box everything feels very well put together, very strong and sturdy quality build. But everything is also big, much bigger ...

Advantages: Look great sound great easy to install Disadvantages: need a good amp to get the most out of them
Hi there !
We own the new verson of the kef KHT 3005 whats known as the SE version(we used to have the old model). The new version is a vast improvement on the old model with the addition of the new tangerine tweeter. Power handling also seems to have improved.
They fill the room with rich deep base from the new HTB2 sub woofer and they look absolutely fantastic !
We managed to get them at a fantastic price from The brotherhood of sound in Chesterfield at almost £200 off the RRP.
It is noted that we are using Hi def audio from the new onkyo 875 receiver and from the PS3 blue ray movies are incredible!
Overall well worth the money!!!! ...

Advantages: Great Sound Disadvantages: Not within everyones price range.
full potential range from the amplifier using 2 sets of speaker cables, to cover the full range. Unfortunately I am unable to do this as I have them in a room, which have the cables already in the wall, (see photographs) and I am only able to use one set of speaker cables. On the speakers there are connectors, which will allow you to overcome this problem.
An important aspect of these speakers, although not one of the most essential, is how they look in the room which they are going into, this is so that they can blend into the room and look as if they are part of the furniture. The Kef Q5?s are floor speakers and stand 880mm off the ground, 240mm wide and 320mm deep. These are unusually shaped set as you can see from the photograph, the slightly raised bit at the top adds extra definition and a change in colour, there is also the name ...
