Decent

Bought this to complement the KEF Q11 Meta tower speakers for 7.1 movie listening. This system is replacing a Bowers and Wilkins setup with 702 S2 and HTM71 S2. The KEF center channel sounds decent but is not as clear as the B&W center and, more importantly, whereas the three B&Ws had relatively balanced volumes for movies, the KEF center channel's output is too low relative to the Q11s. However, the 3 KEFs have matching timbre and I have not yet employed Audyssey to correct for this volume imbalance. On a side note, the Q11s are phenomenal speakers that I prefer to my B&W 702 S2s.

Pros: Good value. Timbre matches KEF Q11 Meta.

Cons: Relatively lower volume than KEF Q11 Meta. Speech is very slightly shadowed.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
