Kef Q Concerto Meta vs B&W 606 S3

[TK421]

Morning all
Looking for a second pair of speakers for my 40m2 room that will go with my B&W 601 S3s
Kef Q Concerto Meta vs B&W 606 S3, discuss.

I'll add the Dali Oberon 3s to the list...

How do you plan to use them with your existing speakers?
Will they be on stands or how do you plan to place them?
Are these speakers you can actually audition?

I plan to have them either side of the TV about 10/20cm away from a wall. I'll then move my 601s to another piece of furniture that is place along side..all facing the room. Hope that's clear

Sorry, driven by what?
You can only drive one pair at a time with the Cambridge, or so I believe

As I said, still don't understand why you need two pairs of speakers but, that close to a wall I would go for something front-ported.
If you plan to use two pairs at the same time, for some reason, both speakers would need to be 8 ohm, preferably.

Hi, if you wish to select just between Q Concerto Meta and B&W 606 S3, clear winner here is Kef Q Concerto Meta. My question here is why you want just "small" bookshelf speakers for so big 40m² room? It will be fully OK for some floorstanding sisters of KEF Q Concerto or B&W 606. Or integrate bookshelves with good subwoofer or two of them. What do you think?

Unfortunately I don't have room for the floorstanders...even in a 40m2 room.

As opposed to rear ported.
Your 601's are front ported, the 606's are rear ported.
