KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable
I had a chance to demo the kef blade two today. Each were powered by an Arcam mono-block. Just unbelievable. I never imagined music could sound this good. I'm completely changed because of it.
Here I thought my KEF LS50 w/ Parasound Hint6 & 2 subs was no slouch (and it still sounds good), but the Blades were on another planet. I can't even describe it. What a treat.
So, now I come to you all to help me move on from the LS50s. I just can't afford the Blades now - no way. But i'm enamored by the dynamic and just. huge. soundstage.
I like the LS50s - Dynamics, soundstage, depth, detail. I like how they image being co-axial. Is there an interim step between the LS50s and Blades that I can step to?? I'd like to keep the Hint6 too.
Also I would expect the new technology that went into the ls50 meta's to start finding its way into other kef models over the next year or so. That might help one get closer to the Blades for less perhaps. We will see. Blades are one design I could see myself living with were I to convince myself I needed to drop that much money on new speakers to be happy. |
Spot on!!
.... or get them used for cheaper |
@martinman , where did you hear the demo? I am asking because the local Magnolia has a similar setup that I heard last year and the Blades sounded awesome. |
