KEF Reference 1 any owners?


Hi, I am looking for information and reviews related to this speakers and all seems to be very highly regarded.
I am wondering if there is any owners out there that can share their impressions and how they compare to others in the price range?
It was a room in AXPONA 2016 presenting KEF with Parasound as per a great video I saw on youtube. A friend of mine brought a pair of R300 and I am really impressed with the bass and the imaging plus the accuracy without fatigue. First time i listened to KEF and I want to discover the reference line.
 your inputs highly appreciated.

Kind regards to you all.

I used to own the predesecor the 201/2. It is a wonderful sounding speaker but is very ruthless imo to poor recordings because of its high resolution. It can be warm or bright depending on the recording. From what I have read the ref 1 is the same kind of super precision sound. If your equipment is of similar caliber with a balsey amp and you listen to mainly fairly well recorded material I bet they are phenominal. 
if you're referring to the 90s vintage reference 1, i posted a review here a long time aqo here:

i'm not familiar with a more recent kef reference 1
I owned these (current model) for 3 months and sold them as I needed the cabbage. They're spellbindingly good. Shockingly large sounding. Can play louder than your eyes believe. I'll own them again someday. 
Thank you guys. It seems the reference 1 is a highly competitive monitor. I will pair it with Hegel H360 and PS audio DS.
TT VIP prime and plinius Koru. Your inputs are priceless.

Thanks
