This is the snake oil the audio world is full of. Lots of claim to sound differences in source, amplification, cables, etc. and not proof of the improvement. A fool and his money.
By the way,...

Yes, I got Q350’s a year ago from a local dealer for $500 for this reason. You can also buy them recertified by KEF with a 5 year warranty at accessories4less for the same price.

Thanks for the comparison. I forgot they ran on 4 ohms. That was one of the factors that pushed me to the Kefs in the first place. Hard to keep them all straight after researching so many.

It seems that by the time you put the money into multiple sets of speakers, you could find one set that would do it all, especially considering you already have a subwoofer.

I have Harbeths in my main room. Pioneer is in the second room. No amp issues here. UB5 is Just not a good speaker for me. BS-22 is great for the money though.
