I am very tempted by this as well, considering driving 1000k's + to pick up!! And that's only on looks!
...was just wondering, do these have enough HF as I see no tweeters? (have never heard them)

Tweeters are located in the middle of the main driver. I think most KEF speakers have this kind of driver? Apparently it improves the HF dispersion.

I were actually also wondering about the HF…

Found this on http://www.digitalhomemag.com: “The Q55.2 Series carries KEF's Uni-Q technology, which means the tweeter is effectively hidden. This tends to make the speakers appear less well equipped than their rivals. The centre (Q95C) and rear effects (Q85S) speakers, for example, look as though they have just one drive unit apiece, but the reality is that the tweeter is hidden at the centre of the bass unit”

Also found these specs on the KEF website:

Waterhond, I do not mean any offense; but I am just curious why you and big G has exactly the same background? (KEF iQ9 Floorstanders add)

That would be because I bought the iQ9's from Waterhond a few weeks back, but have decided they are not what I'm looking for! The picture Wes put on my for sale thread was the one he took when they were still at his place!
