Although I do not own them, I have heard the Ref 1s and they are fantastic speakers. The advice you have been given above is spot on. Live with them for a while and maximize their positioning before adding a sub. Be aware that the addition of a sub may be problematic for your neighbors in your living situation.
KEF Reference 1 bass response?
Just wondering if anyone owns or has listened to the KEF Reference 1 bookshelves? I hear they are amazing speakers, but wondering if they will still have good bass response in my apartment or if I’d need a sub. Of course the answer is subjective but I’m keen to hear what everyone thinks. I’d be pairing them with a Hegel H390 and a Mytek Brooklyn DAC+
