Hi all,
I might have the opportunity to pick up a pair of KEF IQ7se for very sensible money.
Has anyone got any experience with them?
Would be used for hi-fi only.

Ooh well ... if you can get them at a good price the you should be able to move them on if they don't gel.
I have a suspicion they are going to sound a bit 'hi-fi' compared to your Pioneers, but that's just a guess.
KEF do seem to be pushing the technology, so benefits trickling down to lower price models
Jimbo has heard the LS50 and Blades so maybe can offer an opinion on the KEF approach.
If you get them, don't go mad with volume levels. There are a few of that series about with blown tweeters, probably overdriven.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I'm tony.
I have a pair of iq 50s, havent heard the 70s but mine are bright in the treble department.
I love 57s and spendors so it may just be that im a pipe and slippers man!
Hope that helps....
Cheers guys, I passed them up. A quick session with my Pioneers convinced me I didn't need them regardless of price.

I know you're right, macca. They are (IMO) an incredibly underated speaker.
I am just struggling a bit for space so I looked for an alternative. Sound wise there is no issue whatsoever.
I've convinced the Wife we need to convert the Garage so they will be relocating to another room at some point. May be a while but these Pioneers are going nowhere.

Yeah I would never sell my Akai SW175s, very similar to your Pioneers and from the same era. The big JM Labs that replaced them are not better, just different. They can't play bass like the Akais can, and I don't mean depth or power but with the Akais you can practically identify the model of bass guitar that is being played, the tone is so clear.
