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.

Fatiguingly bright with a distinctively recognizable sound of KEF; terrible sound, IMHO.
@daveman2 - Owning is not necessary to have an experience. When a baroque violin sounds metallic – no, thanks.
