PSA: KEF Blade drivers seem to be easily repairable and upgradable


I was looking at a YouTube factory tour of KEF Blade and spotted an engineer installing the midrange / tweeter and the bass in the background and suddenly realize that the rubber black circles and the front fascia are magnetic covers. So I used mini air suction cup for an experiment on a blade 2 and with the small force of lifting the lid of a laptop the ring came off and showed 6 little magnets attracting the 3 tiny screws and 3 washers around the bass driver. So I’m guessing it won’t be that hard to upgrade drivers to the new meta if KEF sells them.

amazing what a cheap plastic box these speakers are.  I owned a pair and was not impressed with what you get for that kind of money.  Mine even had a rattle inside I could never track down that would be excited by certain frequencies.
