## Overview

The KEF Q150 bookshelf speakers combine cutting-edge Uni-Q driver technology with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) port design to deliver crystal-clear highs, warm mids, and deep bass from a compact, stylish walnut cabinet. With 150W max power handling and a refined acoustic architecture, these passive speakers are ideal for professionals and audiophiles seeking immersive, high-resolution sound in small to medium spaces. Magnetic grilles sold separately; requires external amplifier.

## Description

Born from the DNA of the much-lauded Q100, the brand new KEF Q150 bookshelf speaker incorporates and successfully builds upon everything KEF fans have come to know and love about the bookshelf speaker. The new Q150 boasts a revamped Unit-Q driver array with a damped tweeter loading tube designed to smooth out treble frequencies, and reimagined crossovers to provide cleaner and more accurate bass. Architecturally, the Q150 benefits from a New port, which has been moved to the rear of the speaker to improve audio clarity, and the Unit-Q driver array has been relocated to the middle of the cabinet to reduce unwanted internal resonances. These changes between the Q100 and Q150 have transformed an already breathtaking bookshelf speaker into one that truly needs to be heard to be believed. The Q150 is available in sleek matte Black and white vinyl finishes. Grilles for the Q150 are sold separately.

Review: Awesome and versitile bookshelf monitors - Some information so you know where I'm coming from. I was first exposed to these by my partner who uses them for a 5.1 surround setup. And that is amazing! Being passive speakers they require an external amp. But they can take plenty of power and pump out the volume. Watching Dune with these is an auditory experience! However, this review will focus on my own use case as a pair of near field desktop monitors. I picked these up on sale, to replace a pair of failing mackie cr5s. And let me tell you, it was worth the money. Physically they look amazing. I love the walnut as it gives them a bit more of a classy look compared to the black or white. They are also light but solid. I wouldn't want drop them, but if I did I don't think I would be too worried. The connectors are clearly colored and can use banana plugs or a screw-on connector. (Or you can cheat and just shoved speaker wire into the port). the little cover can be a little tricky to remove. But if you have decent nails it should come out with a little finagling. Being passive you are going to NEED a separate amp to use these. These are known to like power so if you want volume pick an amp accordingly. I am using a Schiit Rekkr through a magni/modi combo. And while it's not the most powerful speaker amp it has been more than enough to run these. On the Magni's 0db gain setting (Middle on the switch) with my computer volume maxed these speakers sit comfortably in the middle of the volume dial and they are crisp and clear no matter what music, game or podcast I've put through them. With the rekkr you can crank the volume and while loud, it's certainly not deafening like you might expect so it's likely a little under powered for the purpose. But it has served me nicely so far. After upgrading I have started to use these more than my HD 6XXs the only things that beats these out for me is my Audeze LCDXs and those cost more than my entire audio setup, so take that as you will. If you're in the market for new speakers and want to take the dive into high quality passive monitors. Grab these on sale and you will not be disappointed. Just make sure the rest of your setup is up to the task to run these power hunger speakers.
Review: These look as stunning as they sound! - I don't normally write reviews for any product that I purchase unless they really stand out to me, but I felt compelled to write one for the Q150's within minutes of listening to them. I'll admit, I initially bought these because of the looks. The pictures don't do it justice because they look absolutely stunning in person. The perfectly sharp edges and aluminum woofer give it an elegant and modern look. Not to mention, the Uni-Q Driver Array. I'm a big Klipsch fan and while they sound clear and big, the Q150's have perfect imaging. It's almost like the speakers aren't there. Since the tweeter is placed right in the middle of the woofer, it doesn't matter what height or distance you listen to them because the sound comes from a single point source. Build quality: I previously bought a pair of Klipsch RP-500m's, but I had to return them because of the poor quality control nowadays. Out of the box, I could tell that these are expensive speakers. The vinyl wrapping of the cabinet is very sleek and sharp. I couldn't find any imperfections, especially at the edges. I will caution, however, that it can easily get scratched if not being careful. The woofer is assembled perfectly and looks sophisticated with the aluminum material and waveguides. The small KEF "name tag" looks very chic and unique as opposed to other speaker brands simply printing their logo on the cabinet. It's difficult to see in the pictures, but the "Uni-Q Driver Array" is printed in a dark blue color which I thought was black. Nevertheless, great build quality. Sound quality: Wow. It's really hard to describe how these sound because it's almost like the sound isn't coming from the speakers at all. What I can detail is how clear and crisp everything is. The highs are crisp and crystal clear. The mids are clear and warm. Then there's the bass. Do not believe in the frequency range numbers. These definitely go down beyond the claimed 51Hz. I was worried about having to get a subwoofer, coming from RP-500m's, but these produce an astonishing amount of bass for the size. Provided in the box are two bass port plugs with 2 stages: both foam pieces together or you can remove the inner foam piece for just a foam ring. My advice: put them in with just the outer foam because it tightens up the bass and makes it less boomy. All in all, these sound great. I like electronic music mostly and these are perfect for EDM or house music. Deadmau5 sounds amazing on these. Likewise, these will sound great with pretty much any genre of music. I'm powering them with a Nobsound TPA3116 100W mini amplifier and it's plenty of power. I did recently purchase an Audioengine N22 amplifier and while it sounded great with the KEFS, it unfortunately had unbalanced channels. So I'm sticking with the Nobsound for now. I'm sure these would sound much better with a high end amplifier, but it shows how forgiving these are of the power source. In conclusion, these are great for near field listening: punchy bass, warm mids, and crystal clear highs. These definitely need to be broken in because they will sound harsh during the first couple of hours. After that, they become mellow and warm sounding. It's easy to listen to and pretty to look at. Can't wait to see what KEF does in the future!

## Features

- The Q150 proves that the best things come in small packages. A Uni-Q driver and CFD port mean it punches way above its weight.
- Q Series bookshelf speakers excel in small spaces. KEF's Uni-Q driver array plus Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) port tech equals high resolution and big sound.
- The Uni-Q driver array places the tweeter in the centre of the midrange and bass cone, bringing the acoustic ideal of a single point source closer than ever. The result, enhanced by KEF's 'tangerine' waveguide over the tweeter, is a more accurate three-dimensional sound that's dispersed evenly throughout the room.
- With the addition of the damped tweeter loading tube providing a gentle termination of sound produced from the back of the tweeter, lower treble performance is improved dramatically and a new low-distortion inductor on the crossover provides cleaner bass.
- Available in Satin Black, White, and Walnut. Magnetic speaker grilles may be purchased separately.
- Dimension (H X W X D): 11.93 x 7.09 x 10.94 inch; Dimension with Rubber Feet(H X W X D): 12.09 x 7.09 x 10.94 inch

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would it affect performance to place these on their side (sideways)?**
A: Thank you for the question! Because of the design of the Uni-Q driver you can place this either on its side or upright - You'll experience a wide, clean sound stage either way!  Inside the box is a set of rubber feet that you can put on the sides of the speaker or the bottom - wherever you like. I would suggest using these so that your furniture and the speaker finish doesn't get rubbed up.  The speaker finish is pretty durable but still, I strongly suggest using these little rubber feet. Happy listening! Hope you had a great holiday.

**Q: For desk 72in x 34 in cynder block walls small area. kef q150b or active speakers x-300a need a amp only for the q150b good amp? same price.**
A: Q150B better solution if you have a great amp.

**Q: Are these ideal for left/right in a 5.1? My room is 12'x19'.**
A: Ideal is subjective... however, in a room that size for a 5.1 it should rock it! Make sure it's at least a foot or two off the back wall and not squish into the corner and you can adjust the bass with the port plugs, have fun & enjoy!

**Q: is there a possibility to ship to Israel?**
A: Yes, Amazon ships to most countries.  Israel probably has its own Amazon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rich sounding loudspeakers that can really slap
*by D***D on September 28, 2021*

Looks: these are gorgeous speakers. Your significant other won't be disappointed with a pair in any room. I love the way the tweeter's wave guide lines up perfectly with the driver's protrusion lines. It basically projects sound outward in 9 segments (look at the product pic closely to see what I mean). The cabinet is fascinating to look at and feel. It reminds me of 3d printer plastic as it's got a wound thread look. It is quite different than most speakers, especially when the light hits it. It will never look shiny aside from the aluminum dome tweeter and woofer frame. I wouldn't bother with the optional grills as they just look campy with them on. The driver surround gasket feels very light and supple compared to other speaker's but even it is beautiful. Sound: Very rich sound, especially in the bass region. The only other modern speakers I can compare these to is the Paradigm Atom Monitor SE's. Those are very good speakers and aren't veiled at all but compared to these, they almost seem a tad that way. These KEFs are outstanding with clarity and instrument separation. The wave guide really tames the aluminum dome tweeter perfectly. These are not bright sounding speakers yet they are not dull by any sense of the term. I'm using them in an 18' by 20' living room with a subwoofer and they effortlessly fill the space with their magnificent soundstage ability. There's a lot of buzz words like Uni-Q and such with KEF and usually buzz words are just that but I've been using these for gaming, tv, movies and critical music listening for a month now and I'm just thrilled to have them. The buzz words actually result in high quality performance in this case. Value: I'm sure you can do way better for the ridiculous $600 price tag on these but I bought them used via amazon warehouse for $353.00 and have no regrets at all. They seem to always be readily available via that route too. I'm running these off an smsl ao200 amp via a Schitt Modi 3+ dac and an ifi zen blue bluetooth receiver. I am pleased as can be. Some have said these start to chuff at high volume but I've taken them to the height of comfortable listening levels where I can clearly see the woofers moving and all I can hear is clean and clear music full of clarity, power and refinement. They'd pair best with a revealing amp for sure.
