@ghdprentice What are you driving them with?
KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable
I had a chance to demo the kef blade two today. Each were powered by an Arcam mono-block. Just unbelievable. I never imagined music could sound this good. I'm completely changed because of it.
Here I thought my KEF LS50 w/ Parasound Hint6 & 2 subs was no slouch (and it still sounds good), but the Blades were on another planet. I can't even describe it. What a treat.
So, now I come to you all to help me move on from the LS50s. I just can't afford the Blades now - no way. But i'm enamored by the dynamic and just. huge. soundstage.
I like the LS50s - Dynamics, soundstage, depth, detail. I like how they image being co-axial. Is there an interim step between the LS50s and Blades that I can step to?? I'd like to keep the Hint6 too.

I see the Blade is a 4 Ohm speaker. I have read that the 4 Ohm draw can be a problem for some amps, drawing too much current, causing clipping and in some cases damage to the amp. When using an integrated amp, is the answer to simply have enough power to drive the 4 Ohm speaker at higher volumes. If so, what is the minimum recommended amp power rating to safely drive the Blade speaker? |
@steve59 I had the H360 and loved it. Had a chance to buy the H590, only 6 months old, at a huge discount, so it's mine now. Slight improvement with the onboard DAC and 300 watts per channel. I have read some very interesting reviews on the Sanders Magtech Amp. Given the Blade 4 OHM characteristics, the Sanders seems to bring a lot to the conversation? http://sanderssoundsystems.com/products/amplifiers/magtech-amp |
