KEF Blade 2
 
I got to listen to these beauties for more than 3 hours yesterday with my Ayre, AX-5 Twenty amp as well as the Luxman 900 separates.

It was quite a treat.

Does anyone have owership experience with these speakers? What did you own prior to the KEFs? Do you still own them? Likes, dislikes?

Thanks in advance.

I like vintage KEF speakers and would like to know more about Bades as well.

BTW, I am wondering why there is no forum for KEF at AA?

Well, they can certainly withstand the fury of an MC452 being driven into safeguard protection and keep a coin from falling over that is sitting on top of them. :smoking: https://youtu.be/38P8SYLNleQ

KEF Blade 2
 
I have the KEF Reference 5s. I looked at the blade but couldn’t stand the look of them. The 5’s are rock solid in their presentation and sound staging. Micro details in the high frequencies are incredible. What they do lack is a real bottom end. I cross mine over at 50hz and let my subs do the rest.

They can get astonishingly loud and I’ve never seen a cone move.

It is a speaker I could live with.

Thank you Greg.
My wife has the talent.
I'm only a chatter box.

Greg, next time your going up to see John, you should drop me a line. I'm always up for some music, and would like to meet up some time.
