Guys, they are outstanding. The best speaker I have heard in my price range. Imaging is incredible. The build, technology and sound are first class.
I ordered the Reference 1s on November 3rd or so. I expected delivery the end of December but called KEF a few days ago and now looks like maybe closer to the end of January. They did not expect the initial qty of orders are are fulfilling customer orders before dealer demo orders. They are also building in bulk by finish. Black, Rose and then Walnut. Mine are walnut so that put me deeper in queue.
I will report back with my thoughts after finally getting them. The Reference 5s were outstanding as well. I needed the 4c center as well so to get both the L/R/C and stands was top of my budget. I think the Reference 1s and REL B1 sub will be just fine.
I can't wait and these are my first KEFs ever. They had to be good to get me to switch from Dynaudio. I am very loyal and love Dynaudio but the KEFs were too outstanding to ignore. Love the sound! The looks the whole package.
More to come whenever they come. This is the longest I have waited for speakers at around three months if they come closer to February. Worth the wait me thinks!
