Hi, as new Kef Q series is positioned higher in hierarchy of speaker market, they should be better than entry range of Q Acoustics and Elac. Their "evergreen" competitor is Bowers@Wilkins 600 range and here it will be interesting. Very interesting is new member of family Q, Q Concerto Meta, bookshelf for around 1200 eur. Here, I think B@W will have to come with something special. I expect big sound improvement from previous gen. to this new Q Meta generation. For sure it will be very well spent money on speakers.

There is no such thing as best. They will sound different depending on what equipment they are hooked up to, and what room they are in. Even then it's down to personal opinion and tastes.

Q Concerto Meta costs almost the same as the ls50 meta

I don't like at all the highs from the B&W 600 the S3 is better but fare from perfect

That is the biggest problem with B&W, HIGHS

Yes you are right.

LS 50 Meta is more state of the art small two way speaker, new Q Concerto is more universal 3 way speaker with more bass . Q Concerto will not be so punishing to system flaws like LS 50 or R line. With more "easygoing character, less analytic than older models" this is to be very popular line, I am sure. Kef has hit the nail on its head here.

I am not a fan of B@W, I am sorry. BR.
