Re: Kef Factory Tour
I went around that factory a few months back in Maidstone and met Ron from Kef. I’m hoping to review the newest kef r series or one in the line up.

Re: Kef Factory Tour
I have been a KEF fan since I bought a pair of 104aB's back in the day. I really enjoy my speakers and have had very little reason to consider others at this point.
Ps... I wish I could afford Blade 2's or Reference's

Re: Kef Factory Tour
Going into an anechoic chamber is a weird experience. Kef have one at Maidstone then a room next to it which is the opposite with a very high ceiling. Somewhere in the middle is your lounge.

Had the 105.2, 103.2, LS50 and LS50 Wireless. All mighty fine speakers but alas, no longer here.

Re: Kef Factory Tour
I am completely happy with my R700's (KEF refers to the R series as the mini References because of the similarities). I would love the Reference 3's, but I don't think they are in the cards any time soon

Re: Kef Factory Tour
Randy, I’m considering selling my walnut Reference 3’s. Let me know if you have any interest. They are pristine! Contemplating a move to Blade 2.

Re: Kef Factory Tour
Hey Morgan,
Thank you for the offer. I would love them but I am sure I could not come up with what you will need for them at this time. A buddy of mine has a pair of Foundry Edition ones that are basically brand new. unfortunately he wants far more then I can do now also.

12V is sufficient, and the LHY power supply Adam recommended is an excellent power supply.
