Kef IQ7SE to MA RX6

[Peter Bleakley]

Hi all, Would the RX6s be an upgrade in sound from my Kefs? I'm currently using Arcam A28 with Arcam 17 CD player, with the possibility of adding a Sonos and Arcam rDac later in the year. I've read that the MAs would be a good match with the Arcams but no one mentions matching them with the KEFs.

Hope someone can advise.

Not really an ugrade, just different. The MA's are bassier, warmer, more laid back. The KEF's are leaner sounding, less bass, whch brings the mid and treble forward into the mix a little. Stuff like close mic'd vocals come across particularly well on the KEF's. The bass lines of Massive Attack will sound meatier on the MA's, but the KEF's will show you a little more of what's going on. Personal preference, but both very good speakers.

A good comparison.
