Well my amp arrives monday and my new receiver arrives tues. I will post pics when they both arrive. My wife has given me the go to order my fronts and center. I am really leaning towards kefs IQ7 for my fronts and the matching center. This will be a blind buy as there is no where near me to demo them. I am just trying to see if there are any more speakers within this price range that I should look at before I make this buy. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    They're nice speakers, just a little bright for some.

    So are the similar to the Rtia5's. Would certain brand receivers and amp maybe warm them up a little?

    Yes, I'd check out HK or tubes. :)

    You'll enjoy KEF's imaging and soundstage.

    I have an HK 254 coming in this week. It will act as my pre/pro to the sherwood newcastle A965 amp that I will be using. Do you think that combo will do the trick.

    I'm not familiar with Sherwood's sound.

    What's your source, or is this only for HT?
