Hi fellas,
Been using KEF Q300s for most of the year, and whilst they've been pretty stellar (running them on a NAD D3020, with my PC feeding the audio, so I'm using them nearfield, opposite ends of the desk on stands, toed in towards me) I always felt like perhaps the highs were a bit much for me on this speaker - I'd routinely feel tired after listening to them all day (which I do a lot at the PC!).
I remember hearing how the 685s were the best regarded bookshelf for that price range, until the Q300 came along and stole the crown. Now that the 685 S2 is out, has anyone been able to make comparisons? Has the 685 retaken the crown?
I'm unable to demo myself, and googling for comparisons has fallen up short. Seems lke nobody has tried to test this combo.
