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.
Interesting point about the Metas -- i demoed those too while I was there. The detail and refinement were there, but man, the blades are an end-game setup. The blades were w/o sub - I just can't get over how great they sound. I think @mijostyn is right - time to start saving. I mean, an interim step will just delay the inevitable! Realistically though, can you find these on the used market? How much can I expect to spend? |
