Hi jay53! I heard them at CES when they were introduced and liked them very much. Play around with placement and try angling them in so the "beams" cross over a foot or so in front of your listening position. Good luck!
Kef Blades (1), being auditioned...please share your experience.
I am auditioning the Blades in my home. Aside from placement issues, I find a consistent anomaly in the low mid band frequencies and upper base frequencies. It is most recognizable in male vocals, for example, Gregory Porter. There is a crossover point where the voicing goes from warmish to just a bit thin with "edgy" overtones. Female vocals are stunning. Does anyone have any insight/experience that might help. This is consistent with CD, server, and vinyl sources. It is also consistent with most male voices. Your feedback is most welcome.
