I have come across a tough one according to the reviews on both brands I have been reading and would appreciate some more help. Currently looking for an entirely new 5.1 setup for my onkyo tx-sr605. Looking at 2 different setups and need some advice:

1)KEF - fronts: IQ-7 rears: IQ-8DS center: IQ-2C sub: PSW-2500

2)Klipsch - fronts: RF-62 rears: RS-42 center:RC-52 sub: RW-10

They seem to be pretty comparable from what I have read, but is it true? I don't want to make a bad decision on this...

Hi Ben - welcome to HTF!

Speakers are very subjective, I would suggest you audition both speakers for yourself, with CD's that you are intimately familiar with. You'll quickly know which speakers you prefer. Both sets of speakers are very good for their price. My personal preference between the two would be the KEF loudspeakers, I find Klipsch to be too harsh and too bright. But again, don't take my advise on your speaker selection, let your ears guide you
