Kef blade 1 meta

I have no experience with anything FOSI but I used monobloc Benchmark AHB2s with my Blade 2 Metas.  The dirt cheap Buckeye Eigentakt Monoblocs were dandy, too.

Still not a fan of class D, although I need to hear the Atma-sphere. Did like the Audio Gan for class D but I think they still fell a bit short.

I hope to audition the Atma-Sphere class Ds in the next week or so. I’ll try to remember to report back here my findings. If I like them, I’d use them in a 2nd system which is a more intimate setting. Musicality first. Authority and impact are not unimportant, but secondary considerations. 

@mapman - didn’t know you had a pair of Ohm Fs. I had a pair I bought used about 1983. Loved them but they required so much more power than I had at the time (a David Hafler 100w/channel amp which struggled) with the roughly <80 db sensitivity. I’m actually considering a pair of the new Ohms for a small system - I think they could be fun. But I have fond memories of the Fs. You mentioned driving them with class Ds. May I ask which amp?

Hi @mgrif104 

I have ohm F5s which are newer CLS drivers in refurbed F cabinets.

was listening to this combo all afternoon today. I have to say the sound is near impossible to fault, pretty well up there in all aspects. Check out the review of older model on Enjoy the Music web site. The reviewer nailed it pretty well.
