KEF doesn't get the attention of Paradigm, B&W but in my experience, is a better sounding line of speakers across the board. I've had a number of speakers over the years. I listened to and bought a pair of IQ9's about a year ago. They're essentially IQ3's with two six inch bass/mid drivers. Very dynamic and capable of effortlessly filling a large room with smooth, non-fatiguing and realistic sound. Amazing imaging too thanks to the coax design. You'll probably want a sub to flesh out the lower end though. Good purchase.

And with that, I finally brave enough to walked in an audio shop n with tight budget n a few cds, I browsed around.....seems to be I am the only female customer. Yup, I guess I am in the wrong place. Tried a few speakers (those that I can afford for now) and after a few recommendation from the sales person, I walked out to a new owner of:

Speakers : KEF iQ3
Amp: NAD C315BEE
CD Player: Out of cash......next month.....NAD C525BEE or C515BEE

The shop was kind enough to give me 4 metres of speakers cables for free....nice...a decent one I hope.

It may not be the best but I hope I am getting the value for $.

Question is, for next month - shall I get NAD C525 or the C515. Any suggestions will be appreciated guys......thanks....
