Mountain High,
Thank you again for another inane comparison.
First off, I would compare our instrument not the soon to be discontinued I8 to the Blade as they are in the same price range but even then the two loudspeakers have nearly nothing in common.
The blade is a big money high tech development whereas the Instrument uses a hand turned horn and a resonator an idea 500 years old; the dc10audio speaker is built of solid wood by hand the Blade is a sort of composite built with high-tech equipment, great engineers and big $$$.
There is nothing similar with the exception that both try to make the best of a point source two different ways.
KEF's engineers are some of the best in the world and I know that both Loudspeakers paired with fine gear represent superb sound reproduction.
I did see and hear the Blade at RMAF and truth is I did not think anyone sounded very good this year not even us!
I think everyone was trying too hard!
