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.

Wow those 207s are very tempting!  I'm a huge KEF fan and just sold a pair of Reference 5's.  Still a bit teary eyed.  But I have a pair of Tekton Double Impacts to replace so life's not all bad...

But yes, buy them and try them side by side.  Sell whichever one you love less.  Both of those speakers have great resell so what's your risk really?
