    Silver (2nd from last) or white. The blue would be nice if they weren't blue on blue.

    Thanks. Rep said white outsells all other colors by a long margin.

    Re: KEF Blade 2 - color help!

    White would be my first choice, but I'm a sucker for clean and modern

    Re: KEF Blade 2 - color help!

    Mike seeing that your Vivid Giya's will be blue I would recommend white for the Blade 2's.

    Re: KEF Blade 2 - color help!

    Mike.......I think white is a great place to start. With white, a perspective KEF Blade buyer will have no problem envisioning their color choice over the white. As the rep suggested, you may discover white to be the best seller.

    Re: KEF Blade 2 - color help!

    Its a catch 22 with colors, you order white, the man that really loves the speakers likes , say blue or orange or . You are not going to please every customer on color. Maybe just get a color that "matches well" in your store listening room. Add some plants and bingo. Then order the color he likes or his wife picks.

    I wanted the red, but waiting 12-14 weeks? No thanks. The blue is also catchy, but I will have blue in AG Uno XD (incoming) and Vivid G3 Series 2 (incoming). The white shows very well and kind of fits the design.

    I like the white ones, athough I think the back ones will be the easiest to sell.

    White or black I think are the safest.

    Do they still offer the copper colored Uni-Q? If so, stunning in black!

    Re: KEF Blade 2 - color help!

    The Black look spectacular. If you can still get the Black with the Cooper Uni-Q then do it. EJ has this combo in his Reference 3's... simply stunning. White or Black are safe choices, the exotic colors are a risk to sell from in the store... when we were picking color my wife said no way to the White and she choose the Black (for our R700). When they arrived she said she was very happy that we choose the Black.

    Re: KEF Blade 2 - color help!

    A lot of people forget that KEF is and always has been cutting edge technology. They solve technical problems with science!

    Raymond Cooke left Wharfedale because they would not allow him to experiment with new materials for speaker drivers. He started Kent Engineering & Foundry (KEF) with this in mind. The first speakers they came out with used diaphragms made of polystyrene and melinex.

    So many innovation have came out by KEF over the years right up to the remarkable Blade 2's... and of course the drivers for the renowned BBC speakers and the truly innovative Uni-Q!

    Sorry, just had to expound on why I like KEF so much, besides of course that I have always loved their sound ...

    They are absolutely wonderful speakers. I set them up with ARC and loved the KEF + ARC synergy (but you already know this!)

    Today I tried the Ayre VX-5 Twenty amp with the ARC LS28 on the Blade 2's. What a great combo!

    At this time, I don't think so. The LS50 Wireless and the Blade 2's are really the products I wanted to bring in because they are not only excellent, but different and unique. But who knows? I need to give the REF5's another listen for sure.

    I replaced Focal with KEF in the store.

    Mike how would you rate LS50 Wireless for second system and just for easy listening. Some sub needed or not?

    Hi Golum,

    I heard the LS50 at my local dealer. What a wonderful sounding little speaker for a smaller space! No sub necessary in my opinion. Their stands I would say definitely.

    Best,
    Ken

    Hi Mike,

    I wasn't aware that there was a matching sub. How much does it round out the sound?
