I've got KEF throughout my house - picked them up on various deals over the years. All of them are precious to me.

I've got a 5.1 set up of the Qs from about 12 years ago, Q350s and Q750s a center and a sub. Still wows me every time I listen to them.

The only reason I don't grab this deal is because I don't have a room in my house without some sort of Kef setup.

If all I have is a simple Denon AVR, I assume I can't drive these with just the AVR. What would I need to make these sing properly?

The Q950 has a 1.5" tweeter, compared to the 1" tweeters of the other two models, which doesn't make sense to me. It would seem as though the models with the smaller tweeter should theoretically produce a better high frequency response.

You can ofcourse drive any of these speakers with your Denon AVR. Just simply connect them to your AVR's speaker outputs!

This isn't really the case at all. There's a vast difference in even 1" tweeters alone, but the bigger one is still going to be spec'd to it's output and a given frequency range.

In a configuration like this, the 1.5" tweeter almost undoubtedly will have a larger magnet and be able to produce higher SPL up to 20khz. The bigger tweeter typically allows you to lower the crossover frequency of the overall speaker design as well, which helps with flexibility.

Speaker drivers and design have come a long way since the days when 4 way speakers were needed (woofer/midwoofer/tweeter/super tweeter designs). A properly designed modern 2 or 3 way speaker will beat most of those old designs.

KEF produces good quality drivers and speakers, outside of DIY it's one of the only brands I'd consider buying, as it's not extremely overpriced and well designed. I've built my entire 5.1 and a dozen other speakers, but KEF seems to produce a good quality product.

My 5.1 system consists of 2 different tweeters, my rears have a 1" Dayton ND25FW-4 tweeter that weighs .35lbs and is an amazing sounding tweeter. My towers have a Dayton 1&1/8" RST28F-4 which 1.8lbs each. I was astounded at the difference, both are great sounding tweeters but the larger one can go well past the needs of my speaker design, the smaller one falls off when you really crank those rears. It's a 10$ tweeter vs a 40$ tweeter and doesn't really impact the overall speaker cost that much.
