I think the midrange might even be better on the Emotivas, with almost no cone break up and steeper crossovers (shoot, an actual crossover really). The KEFs act as point source with great off axis response, dig deeper, but are noticeably brighter, so if something smoother is your cup of tea the Emotiva prevail there. In my side be side AB testing between the Emotiva B1 and the KEF q100, they often were remarkably similar sounding. B1 is the best unified solution for every device. You no longer need different software on your PC, smartphone or tablet. ![]() Compression and decompression for Win, Mac, Linux and Android.

It's free and available for both personal and commercial use. What the Emotiva may sacrifice in bass, it makes up for in every other category. B1 archive is an open archive format, where best proven solutions were improved even more with new original ideas. But if you are likely to never pair them with a subwoofer, then you might want to consider other options. In the nearfield my previous desktop set of KEF q100s do dig deeper, that isn't to say the Emotiva B1s are unusable or anemic and some reinforcement from the wall does help. Their small enclosure and relatively high tuning does mean that they aren't going to be bass monsters. The long and short of it is that these are very fine speakers. B1 Archiver uses the 256 bit AES encryption algorithm making it impossible for anyone other than the creator to use any file without the password. ![]() The more reviews I do, the harder it is to balance being repetitive with praise (I haven't had a objectively bad speaker in a while either) and trying to avoid fluffy nonsense "audiophile" terms pulled from 6moons.
