[QUOTE="Waterhond, post: 51821, member: 1200"] Norval pm'd me kindly with reassurances, and of course, as is now clear (if you know the forum culture), this has all been a bit of good natured ankle nipping probably directed at Ken who stayed majestically aloof! "New guy needs to chill", I acknowledged to Norval... I have a confession about Kef though: bought a pair of IQ5's towards the end of last year (not the tweaked SE model) and was so horrified at how thin and compressed they sounded that I took them back the next day - clever shop owner offered me the IQ9's from his personal home cinema (half the size of my house!). They were nicely run in and sounded fantastic. Best part, I got them at less than half price! The shop owner uses his home cinema for his client demo's - he rotates new models, and now the really ironic bit - the replacements were huge shiny Yamaha's! The Kef brand of course has a long lineage in broadcast and recording studios, which is where I encountered and used them first. Same goes for Yamaha... [/QUOTE]
