QSound was an interesting effect, but one that relies very much on phase/timing accuracy of a system to work and is especially effective on headphones as it is mainly trying to fake/emulate binaural mic techniques. The Kefs being a point-source will stand a far better chance than most speakers here.

Yeah, I have The Soul Cages and Madonna Immaculate Collection which are both brilliant.
The effect does work on some systems and in some rooms better than others.

I think it was both, Bob. I remember listening to the Final Cut through the old Mission 770's in my then local HiFi shop, sounds appearing well out of the enclosures.
Bought the 770's 'which I still have' purchased the record later.
Europe made the album Prisoners in Paradise in Q Sound too.

Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking- Roger Waters sounded superb through headphones and especially ESL63s
Madonna - The Immaculate Collection was good on some tracks and odd on others; I preferred the vinyl to the CD
As an effect it may not have been as good as Ambisonics but you didn't need extra equipment to enjoy.
