Speakers brands for BaseX MC 700 + A 700

[castroy]

Hello,

I'm about to be a french customer.

I owned KEF (Uni-Q) speakers and I'm about to buy BaseX MC 700 processor and A 700 amplifier. Is KEF a good match ?

I have read that speakers need to be neutral or not too generous in high frequencies with Emotiva electronics.

Does brands like KLIPSCH, JBL or SVS a good choice with A 700 ?

Do you have others recommandations ?

Thanks in advance.

Consider Def Tech SM55, they are on sale, from $600 a pair to $300....

Welcome  castroy  , so glad you found us here at the Emotiva Forum, so many good friends to be made here. 
Which KEF Q speakers were you looking at. I’ve come to really like the sound of The LS50’s. Ya just gotta have a cup of EmoBlue! Enjoy!

The Emotiva BasX line of speakers are obvious choices.

I'd say it's good advice wit any speakers to be neutral. I would not say that any Emotiva electronics are bright in any way...mostly neutral. Consider Emotiva's speakers...esp the T1's an if you can - the T2'

Speakers are mostly a personal choice, what may sound good to you may not sound good to me or vice versa. If you have a good dealer in your area you may be able to audition some speakers with your system. Since Focal speakers are a french company, they may be worth listening to, I have a set of 714's and have been very happy with them.

Welcome to the forum!

How your system sounds is about 60% the speakers, about 39% your room (including placement of speakers, furniture, acoustic treatment, etc.), and 1% everything else**

**Assuming you have competently designed electronics and you're operating them within spec. Emotiva would be classified as competently designed electronics.

Emotiva amps are very neutral and should sound fine with all brands
