Have you heard this combo? Pioneer with these speakers might be a bit too bright innit?

The RTI A3 were quite nice speakers and were high on my list until I got a great deal on a pair of used Monitor Audio Bx2's. I think ProFx is the best place to audition and pick them up. They have great prices post discounts and I feel that really sweetens the deal.

not heard because no audition available at hyd for this models.I have to go Bangalore if I guess the price after discount. Actually KEF Q300 is not in my budget but they have very positive reviews at anywhere for music.

The kef q300 is one of the best that I have ever heard. I didn't like the a3.
Other options worth considering are tannoy, wharfedale diamond, q acoustic. All of these are better all-round speakers compared to the a3 in the same budget range.
A little higher and paradigm and psb too come in the picture

KEF Q300 really give good output on Pioneer 930?

No here is the problem. Q300 is really bright and so is pioneer on the brighter side in general. A denon will pair better IMHO.
Try and audition the 2 together, but I feel the combination might not work

I have also doubt on that output because my BA A26 has good reviews about their quality but it gives poor output on my AVR.

 

[filmguy]

matching avr to speakers is important avr 'x' + speaker 'x' may not be as pleasing as avr 'x' and speaker 'y' even though individually they're all good. the combination is key

With your pioneer try the Tannoys or wharfedale.
I personally own paradigm bookshelves and with a pioneer avr they literally give shrills. Yamaha or denon makes em sing.

Audition is the key. Pionner is not considered an all out bright amp compared to others . Pioneer signature is quite laid back too compared to others. That just might work with the Q300. I use a Pioneer stereo amp with Polk Monitors. Polk is also considered bright and the pairing sounds just a bit brighter compared to Marantz and Nad amps. Nad however, is a totally differnt signature, so not right to compare to it.

I have a doubt,Is really speakers output is changed if I use different brand AVR's in the same category? for example KEF Q300 output is equal or not if I use Marantz 1606/Yamaha RX V-581/Pioneer VSX-930/Onkyo NR646?

Its just not about the Speaker output, its the actual "sound signature" delivered by these products which changes with different combo, when you try with different amplifiers/receivers & makes an impression on an individual about a feel good / bad listening.

This will vary from person to person. Hence its always suggested audition it before you take a plunge into something

The Kef Q300 retails at 42k and the A3 at 28k. If you can afford the 300, its way better than A3. Both are large sized bookshelves. Q 300 goes well with most amps, according to my likings, but A3 fails in that section.

I am also interested to buy KEF Q300. But I am confused for my AVR,is that gives best results? and also if I go for audition my AVR is not available to test the Q300 because this brands having different dealers.

Check with the dealer if they allow you to carry your AVR for the audition. I know here in Bangalore Profx normally welcomes it. Not sure about Hyd.

Q300 audition is not available in HYD and I cannot carry my AVR to bangalore but in mind Q300 is strongly fixed.I don't know what to do.

Try the psb. They might tag well with the pioneer and sound similar to the q300.
Both are excellent speakers and you cant go wrong with either.
psb B6. I could be slightly wrong with the model no.

All these Polk RtiA3 Kef q300 or Dynaudio Emit 10/20 will eat dust if you could get hold of an Usher V601 bookshelf speaker. Trust me it will slay bookshelves costing a lac.

 

[apbinu]

Had come across Usher V601 on sale by owner section few months back, if your interested check if its still available.
