Kef reference 3

Any thoughts? Thinking of moving up from Vivid Oval 1.5. Like their sound but want a little bigger sound. The new Vivid speakers are too rich for me, and I can get a good buy on the reference 3. Soundstage did think they were close to the Vivid B1 Decade which is $28,000.

How can a company that designed the Blade come up with anything as lame as the current Reference line? I always appreciated kef's fearlessness in letting their experiments move them forward. $13k for 2x6.5 aluminum woofers in a box? that latest uniq must really be something special.

KEF had noted that different markets want different designs. Overseas markets prefer "regular" looking speakers which is why the Reference line exists.

 

Just a note that anyone still looking for the older (non-meta) version, I was able to pick up a pair of Rosewood Reference 3 store demo pair for 50% off.
