Front speakers upgrade suggestions

[Raj22]

Hi, my current system consists of the following:

50" Samsung UHD TV (bought in 2017)
Yamaha RX V-485
Dali zensor piko vokal center channel speaker
Klipsch R-14 front speakers

I have auditioned the following speakers

Kef Q150
Klipsch RP-600M
Dali Zensor 3
Klipsch RP-5000 & 6000
Klipsch R-610F

From these i loved Kef Q-150. However, this audition was in a perfectly calibrated room. Klipsch RP 600M was auditioned in a open room, not that calibrated.
Question: i already have 2 different brands of speakers, should I stick to Klipsch RP 600M or pairing Kef Q150 will also work well?

Kef Q 150'vs Klipsch 600 price difference is 20k, not sure if this is worth.

Also, I m open to selling off Klipsch R-14.

My usage is: 50% Netflix/Amazon prime
50% on iTunes/Spotify

Please suggest!

What is your budget? Also, try to get an audition for the zensor 5 and 7. Since you don't have a subwoofer, floorstanders will sound fuller with better bass extension than their bookshelf counterparts.

Missed adding the subwoofer info, I have a Yamaha subwoofer NS SW 100.

I felt Dali zensor 3 was very bright..

Please mention your budget so that other members can pitch in with options. Also, since you liked the KEF Q150, see if you can source it from the US. It's $300 now (approx 21k INR) which is very good value for money. Else go for the RP600 and use your existing R-14 for surrounds.

Yamaha receivers generally have a bright signature too which may be adding to the brightness.

I have budget upto 50k, I would like to stick to bookshelf speakers. I'm exploring options to source Kef Q150 from US. Thanks for pointing this out.

If you can source from UK, you may actually get KEF R100.
For UK do a price check/availability on https://pricespy.co.uk/

Klipsch R-14 front speakers

Also, I m open to selling off Klipsch R-14.

You can move these to surrounds, and go can Dali fronts (L-C-R).

I guess, you need to freeze on the brand based on your budget/preference and then look at possible options..

I think Wharfedale Evo 4.4 would be good option to try

Bookshelf or floor standing?

I'm leaning towards Klipsch, however it's expensive here, not convinced if it's worth paying 50k+. USA it costs about 550$ while not on sales.

New brand adds new confusion!

It’s above Bookshelf category, Dali LCRs can be wall mounted/Tilted, placed on table also
