KEF Blade or Blade 2

I am in Wichita KS. I have become nearly obsessed with hearing the Blade/Blade2 speakers. Does anyone within a reasonable driving distance have a pair I could listen to for an hour or so?  Or if you know of a dealer that has a pair for audition let me know. I have had no luck with my internet search for a close dealer, thanks.

If you like concentric driver designs, you should consider hearing others as well. I was super excited about the blade based on its design, which seems ideal but was disappointed hearing it at two different shows and also hearing blade 2.  TAD (my concentric choice) might be even harder to hear in your location, but it’s worth a try.  

I recently got the concentric Elac Adante for my home theater and absolutely love the sound.

These guys will find a dealer with a pair for you to hear. Send them an email.

I was speaking with a Audiogon user recently who planned to go listen to the Blade at a BestBuy (Magnolia).

I like the TAD’s too, but they are no longer sold in the USA (my TAD dealer’s comment). You may get a bit more detail with the TAD Be tweeter, but I take the Blade every time

Not all Magnolias have the Blades in stock and certainly recommend calling first.
