    KEF Q vs R Series?

    Hi All, Just looking for views on Q vs R and for purely Cinema use is there likely to be much difference. I don't have the benefit of a local dealer to go compare them! Also when I've made my mind up, what speaker should I buy first? I was thinking the front L&R? Cheers in advance.
