I can't give a good sound description as the demo was brief and some of the music I wasn't familiar with. I can say I preferred the L200 over the L100 and definitely preferred the L200 over the awful $6k B&W bookies. The L800 is no question about it, SDA and from what I heard I liked it.Political Correctness'.........defined

I just came from my Magnolia store. The manager is friend of mine. He loves the speakers but doesn't think they will pick them up.
The 4 ohm rating is something they try to stay away from because of the lack of knowledge when it comes to damage and high current needs of such a speaker.
I see his point but why can't they train their staff and then train the buyer of such a product. Sad but we see such buyers on this forum weekly.
The closet place for me to demo these will be in Boulder Colorado. With PS audio also in the same place I better save some fund before going. I would buy something for sure.

With the dizzying amount of posts in several threads on these perhaps I missed it, but for those with children and/or pets who may have concerns, do any of the models come with grills?
I'm a grill off guy myself, but I hope they come with them for people that would want them.
And oh, included with no extra charge. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that KEF does not include them and makes people buy them separately at extra cost on the latest Q Series. Never heard of such a thing...
Yes, they all come with grills at no extra charge. The L800 has a grill that also covers the top and I'm pretty sure the L600 does too.

I think the anesthetics are great on the L800. Not a huge fan of the atmos cut out but I get it- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

It's got a grill that covers it and will prevent plants and drinks from ruining the tops.Political Correctness'.........defined
