Don't believe that sensitivity number. Klipsch measures that differently than everybody else. Probably closer to 90 or below.

I don't think you could go wrong with either. The Klipsch should be easier to drive and have the larger woofer. It comes down to preference. I have a set of Klipsch RPs and these KEFs. Both are great and I really don't prefer either one. Some people say Klipschs are more fatiguing but it's all subjective. You could always buy both (if it's within your budget) and send back the set you like less. That's more of a hassle but could be worth it if you're going to keep the speakers for years.
Smaller actually when you consider you don't have the surface area of the dust cap moving air like most 5" woofers have. These are really tweeter/midrange vs tweeter/woofer.I did a head to head with the previous q100 against the roughly same price Elac B6. I had a budget of $300-ish and the KEF's are overpriced for what they are. $299 should be normal price (with a grille which they're now charging you extra for). The Elac was like listening to a complete speaker. The KEF had no real bass in comparison. The highs were therefore over pronounced. Very thin sounding. You can tell by the midrange's surround, they're aren't designed to move much air. If I listened to stuff like the BeeGee's, chamber music, or other lightweight stuff, the KEF's would have be fine. They got shipped back.
This is what I needed to hear. I would be comparing to 5 1/4" Warfedale Diamond speakers and the Emotiva B1+. Was hoping for a nice upgrade (plus white) but I see that these have been $299 for a long while now.
