Someone please talk me out of this


I use KEF Reference 1s supplemented by a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s controlled by a SMS-1 bass manager that provides acoustic room correction. I think the sound is superb even with large orchestrations since I raised the crossover of the subs from 40 to 80 Hz. BUT I think I’ve found a pair of KEF Reference 207/2s for $7200, and I’m very tempted. The preamp is an Ayre KX-5/20, amp VX-5/20, sources Roon via QX-5/20 and discs via DX-5 DSD. I previously used KEF 107/2s that I loved. but I suspect the combination of Ref. 1s and HGS-15s is superior.

We are long time kef dealers with experience  with the 207 and ref1

Esonally we would recommend upgrading your subs 

Rel and mj acoustics makes very musical articulate subs

The ref o n es will sound smaller then the 207 but the ref 1 are more articulate with a more precise soundstage
