KEF Q6 Meta Center Channel (Black)

absolut top

Replaced a KEF T301c with the Q6 and the improvement was immediate. The Q6 sounds fuller and fills the room with clear, easy-to-understand dialogue, even at lower volumes. A significant upgrade over slim center channels.

Great!

The kef Q6 meta and Q11 meta sounded good for about a week then I guess after break in they sounded like someone took out the tweeter mid and highs. They sound absolutely dull and lifeless with no highs. I have 2 Onkyo RZ50s and 2 Emotiva XPA 5s for a 5.2 setup in my living room and a 3.1 setup in my bedroom. At 1st I thought maybe something was wrong with my receiver so I did a factory reset no change then I ran dirac no change then I switched the receiver with the one in the living room did a factory reset no change in the kefs dull sound then ran dirac still no change. Spent time changing the crossovers put speakers to small to full range messed with the equalizer and still no change. Then I thought maybe it was the Amplifier so I switched the Amplifier with the one in the living room still no change. I did another factory reset on the receiver still no change then I ran dirac still no change in the bad sounding lifeless dull kefs. The amount of hours I put in retesting, resetting, switching out,calibrating was immense. I put the kefs in my junk room and reconnected my 15 year old def techs and all is good now again. Kef q11 meta is garbage and so is the Q6 meta center. Don't waste your money
