    can get a pair of these for a decent price, $50, and would like to use them as rears with my kef 103/4's as fronts...good idea or nay?

    Hi

    I used to run a pair of Kef Q3s several years ago as stereo mains. Are they similar to the Q30? I found them a real joy connected to Nicam VCR- watching TV was sublime- lovely spacious analogue sound from the UNI-Q driver. So, yes I really recommend them for home theatre (more so than with music) but no idea if they'd match the 103s. Don't see why not, though.

    Jog my memory a bit please; was the Q30 one of the first (very first) uni q concentric driver Kef speakers? Did it have a small stand mount cabinet with a single mid/bass driver and the tweeter mounted at the throut of the woofer?

    Ah for $50 you've got nothing to lose. The uniQ will be perfect for rears. Do it, I say.

    I'm think it was a floorstander Ynmoan.
