Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia?

28 square feet? Like in 4 feet by 7 feet??? Or are you talking about 28 foot wall dimensions?

The Blade is a tall and imposing structure that resembles sculpture. It has a small footprint but nonetheless looks big. The sound wasn't all that great, I am sorry to say, as a friend of mine is a dealer. but he says they are selling. The Wilson product will look smaller but actually have a larger footprint -I think- not exactly sure. I happen to like the Wilson sound and wouldn't hesitate buying Wilson's newer speakers except that I don't have the money. Wilson does something very right engineering his products. Kef OTOH does nothing wrong just not a thrill likre Wilson. Theres my 2 cents maybe 3!

I have heard the Blades twice, and both times I was very underwhelmed. If someone gave me $30K to spend on KEF speakers, I'd buy the top KEF Reference model, and pocket the difference. OTOH, I've heard various Wilson Audio speakers in the past, and generally liked what I heard. Just my $0.02. You should audition any gear you are considering prior to purchase, especially a five-figure purchase!

I've heard the Blade at a few shows with top gear and they never impressed me, I have owned several Kef systems and the Blade always sounded just flat and boring to me.

I owned Wilson Sasha W/P's and they are very impressive, sold due to moving out of the country but would have kept them otherwise, my vote is for the Wilson's.
