![]() This review wasn't intended to be a shootout, but if the q100s were not so often found for $300 and rather than their normal $500 MSRP, it would be really hard to justify the additional cost. I think the midrange might even be better on the Emotivas, with almost no cone break up and steeper crossovers (shoot, an actual crossover really). 1 The program decompresses more than 20 popular archive. It has full support (compression, unpacking and encryption) for ZIP and its native B1 format. 4.0/5 Review by Elena Opris on ApB1 Free Archiver is a simple program developed for compressing files and extracting content from archives. B1 Archiver is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. The KEFs act as point source with great off axis response, dig deeper, but are noticeably brighter, so if something smoother is your cup of tea the Emotiva prevail there. B1 Free Archiver is a proprietary freeware multi-platform file archiver and file manager. In my side be side AB testing between the Emotiva B1 and the KEF q100, they often were remarkably similar sounding. The B1s are sized better, actually had a higher WAF for me, the tweeter really is "light and airy" and they are a touch smoother (don't have the same elevated treble) without being dull in anyway. For myself, the B1s will be replacing the q100s for the foreseeable future. B1 Archiver never gathers any kind of personal information and does not install any malicious software. Safe & secure The highest safe standards were applied. Also it works very fast even with large archives with many files. What the Emotiva may sacrifice in bass, it makes up for in every other category. B1 Archiver is extremely simple to use, you dont need comprehensive manuals or guides. But if you are likely to never pair them with a subwoofer, then you might want to consider other options. For encryption, B1 can extract password-protected zipped files. Aside from its file compatibility, B1 Archiver handles multi-part RAR files with ease. Thus, B1 Archiver can handle virtually any format you throw at it. In the nearfield my previous desktop set of KEF q100s do dig deeper, that isn't to say the Emotiva B1s are unusable or anemic and some reinforcement from the wall does help. B1 Archiver sports compatibility with a total of 37 file formats including B1, ZIP, and RAR. Their small enclosure and relatively high tuning does mean that they aren't going to be bass monsters. ![]() ![]() The long and short of it is that these are very fine speakers. The more reviews I do, the harder it is to balance being repetitive with praise (I haven't had a objectively bad speaker in a while either) and trying to avoid fluffy nonsense "audiophile" terms pulled from 6moons. ![]()
