(Sigh) I am selling my My entire KEF Q Series system which includes: Pair of Q900's,Pair of Q300's,and 1 Q600 center! All speakers are about 10 months old,and in like new mint condition! I have original boxes for all items. I would like to keep this local,as shipping would be pricey! However,if someone is willing to pay,I would drop these bad boys off at a fed-ex store at buyers expense! I paid $2800 for entire system,and would sell for $1800. These are truly awesome speakers! Many online reviews have wonderful things to say about these gems! Very sad to let them go,however,our movie watching days are dwindling,and my wife says if I want my own 2ch system downstairs,these gotta go! I will seperate if anyone wants,just shoot me a pm if thats the case! Thanx gents! Goodday! Rob :sad:

    Your movie watching days are dwindling? How so? Or are you just saying it's an Either/Or proposition? Either two channel or Home Theater? Because I'm pretty sure both you and your wife are NOT going to stop viewing films.

    GLWTS! Great speakers, BTW!

    Its either/or! I really want a 2ch,and she really wants none! So we compromised on 2ch downstairs! Oh yea,I finally slipped one past the goalie,and dont want little finger holes in those beautiful 8" drivers!

    One kid is no big deal with speakers. Multiple small children becomes a problem! Either way GLWS!

    Truth be told I could probably make room for them if I re-arranged things in the living room.

    Let's be honest then with one of the main reasons: the WAF on tower speakers is astonishing low.

    UGH, you actually have me with a tape measure out taking measurements to see if they would fit!

    As a side note, my listening rooms are astoundingly tiny.
    HT/Living room is 12', 3" x 12', 6"
    2ch/Bedroom is 12', 8" x 10'

    Perhaps I should get out of this hobbit hole apartment before I buy any more stereo gear. :(

    Thanx Praz! I think I got the wife talked into keeping these! All It took was buying her a Lincoln MKX!:redface: So if these dont move,no big deal! Plus it would be great to set these up downstairs alongside the ML and hear the difference! I just love speakers! The more the merrier!
