Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia?

Sorry for the mistake, it's 208 sq ft. Thanks for the inputs.

Sorry, it's 208 sq ft.

bummer to hear all the negative comments about the blades

such a neat design and nice looking speaker

not to mention a very positive review recently in one of the mags

my two cents...

Heard both and RMAF. I found the blade unobjectionable (perhaps not the right aspiration for a 30k speaker), and the Akexia's to be "Wilson-y" (just the thing, for some people).

Lots of choices, at your price point (or any price point!): at this year's RMAF, commercial products with comparably fancy builds from Venture, Vivid, and Sony were competitive with those you mention (to name only a few).

Rlwainwright is correct. Check soundstagehifi reveiw on kef r500 blade technology he compares them with wilson. I have listened to wilsons top model $160k and $40k amps and I thought the performance was mediocre at best. Good luck
