Guys!!!
So I’ve been listening to the Reference 5 for 3 days now and I’m liking it so far.
I’m upgrading from R900. The R900 is a very good sounding speakers itself. Comparing to the Ref5 it’s definitely not catching up. Listening to the R900 makes me feel like I’m in front of a small limited stage where each instruments are cluttered close together whereas the Ref5 is a large stadium and instruments are good distance away from each other - its like you can walk thru each instruments and hear each of them distinctively. The soundstage is incredible on the Ref5 - very holographic. I’m using the long ports and the Bass is tight and deep- u can feel its thundering in your chest. Bass is much refine, tight and more responsive but at the same time soft and free of distortion. Treble is much more sharper and clearer. The best part is I can hear some other instruments in the song that i didnt hear it on the R900. Overall, I’m really liking it and starting to falling in love. I’m glad I chose Kef - Ref5. Although, i still wanna compared it with the BW 802D3 one day.
Im also curious to see how this speakers sounds with the solid state McIntosh MA8900. What do u guys think??
Mine is the Rosewood and it just looks so beautiful with my McIntosh Mc2152 and c70 equipments. Love it guys!! Thanks again
