KEF R107/2 vs REVEL f52

My kef's are getting a bit long in the tooth and am looking for a drop in replacement for them, The 107's were amp friendly unlike many other kef models they only needed power to come alive not incredably expensive power. so I can get a pair of F52's for a fair price and want to hear about them.

Keep your eye out for a great condition used pair of Legacy Audio Signature SE around the $5K price.  Very easy to drive, great Air Motion Tweeter, and bass down to 22Hz.

107/2s may be amp friendly, but when installed Parasound JC 1 monoblocks (800 watts @ 4Ω) they really came to life.  They seem to thrive on current.  I periodically think about Blade 2s, but then I listen to the 107/2s and ask myself why.  For HT, I add a Ref 204/2C that seems to blend seamlessly with the 107/2s even though it uses a Uni-Q driver.

I think you might be referring to the R207/2 not the R107/2 unless adding ferrofluid to these vintage tweeters and jc1 amps makes a really big difference, and as much as I enjoy the R107's they won't throw a soundstage  the likes of the new hi end gear.
