Kef IQ90 Vs B&W 684

Posted: January 26, 2012 - 1:26am

I'm getting new speakers for my set up (arcam rDAC, Denon PMA-510AE) used 100% for music - mostly electro, indie and rock but also classical, jazz and metal.

I've found two floorstanders that I really like on ebay both around a year old, the KEF IQ90s look really nice but I'm worried they may be lacking in the bass and I'm not 100% sure about the bowers and wilkins.

Also since I'll be buying off ebay they'll be no kind of warranty, so I was wondering if there was any difference between these two as to which one would be more likely to go wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Chas

P.s. the bidding ends in a couple of days so quick responses needed :)

Did hear the B&W 684s in

Did hear the B&W 684s in superfi the other day and was quite impressed at the detailed sound they put out. Couldn't find a local shop where I could listen to the IQ90 and the seller is too far away.

My budget is around £400-£600
