KEF Q1 vs Wharfdale EVO-8

 

JD
I am considering KEF Q1s and Wharfdale EVO-8 for a 5.1 set-up and it will be driven by either an Elite 55TX or HK 7200. Any thoughts on which combination better or any issues? In the store they both sound very good, but I hesitate to buy on that alone.

I have the KEF Q1s, Q2ds, and Q9c in a 5.1 set-up driven by a Denon 3803. I've been very happy with them for home theater (the Velodyne subwoofer I have really helps), but they're not as good for 2-channel music. I haven't heard the Wharfdales, so I can't comment on those.
 

marc you mentioned Q1 are not that good for music , what is it that you find lacking. Had you considered Coda series, specifically Coda 70 .There has been concern about their "UNI-Q" drivers. Heres a link:
