KEF home cinema speakers?

[The Gauge]

I'm planning to instal my first 5:1 system in my living room next year and I'm looking to see if these KEF speakers I'm planning to buy are a suitable choice. This isn't a dedicated room, it's still my living room.

Room is rectangular 11ft x 13ft, and opens up into the dining room. I'll maybe go with a 75" TV on the 11ft wall.
Main listening point will be directly in line with TV and approx 8-9ft away. There'll also be a sofa not he left wall.
I also want to ensure there is sufficient space either side of the TV for the front L/R speakers

Would these KEF Meta speakers, sub and receiver compliment each other?....

KEF Q3 Front Left & Right
KEF Q6 Centre
KEF Q1 Surround Left & Right
SVS SB1000 Pro Sub
Denon AVC-X3900H receiver


Sketch not to scale, and I'm planning to block off that access door.

Kef are a very reputable speaker manufacturer so if your happy with the aesthetics and the sound signature I would say go forth and fill your boots. Don't think you would be disappointed.

Thanks.
I'm hoping the speakers & receiver are a good match for each other, and the room size, but I'm also considering the KEF Concerto Meta for front L/R's

Without speaking about the specific speakers mentioned i would say that I have found Kef generally to be quite neutral in sound and Denon to be very slightly warm so if that's rhe sound your after then they will pair well.
Try not to over analyse things and remember both rhe receiver and the speakers will change sound slightly after hours of run time compared to the first switch on out the box.

No experience of Kef, but I have the Denon and its superb.

Have you considered the PB sub rather than SB? The PB tends to be better suited for movies, where the SB more music IMO.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks, I'll take a look.

With my room being 11ft x 13ft, would the KEF Q Concerto Meta speakers be a better choice for front L/R than the KEF Q3's, or would the Q3's be more than sufficient?

This might help

I'm clueless so open to knowledge from the wise, however, just bought a modern pioneer 7.2 which is awesome, it and Google tell me I don't need a centre with good front speakers (I have old but great floorstanders) as it compensates by blurring the sound and it sounds great to me

Hope your neighbours are distant with that power in that room!

(Also I'm learning but why such a fancy amp if only 5.1? Curious)
