@scubabird I think the KEF's are a bit like the Thiel's with the same type of tweeter and midrange combination (some similar sonic characteristics). I went from the Thiel SCS4 to the KEF LS50 and now to CS3.7. I preferred the LS50 in a smaller r...

I meant to say the new CODA #16 that is supposed to be super quiet. 
All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!
Here is an anybody who thinks the KEF Blade for one is better than every Magico I have heard, from the A3 to top end Q series model.I like the Magico S3 MKII the best of all the Magicos I have heard. I have not heard M series. I heard these in the...

I want to ask folks here about replacement drivers for the CS3.7. I am wondering if I should buy 2 tweeter/midrange drivers and keep in storage for potential future need. I plan to keep this speaker of years. Does the replacement of the driver jus...

Let me chime in on the amp for the CS3.7. I will be getting mine on Saturday and will hook up a single Benchmark AHB2 ($3K) which has 194 watt at 4 Ohms. My room is small. I think the slightly warm top end of the CS3.7 will work well with the very... 
KEF LS50 Meta
I use my non-meta LS50's with very neutral gear and have zero fatigue. I listen a lot of hours while I work. The speakers will go into storage on Saturday to move in my new speakers, but I will never sell them, just love them.

Just bought a pair of CS3.7's. Going to drive and pick it up on Saturday.It has been 12 years since I demoed and wanted to buy the CS 3.7 and the stars aligned quickly this past 3 weeks. I was going to buy the Yamaha NS5000 for the office but the ...

Thanks guys for the feedback. Now let's see if I can snag one.

@thieliste Thanks. Can this be easily done or would the speaker need to be shipped to Coherent Source Service?Years ago I bought a cool car instead of the Thiel 3.7’s. I sold the car 2 weeks ago on Facebook, it was crazy, sold in less than an hour...

Were there any changes to the CS 3.7 during its production run?

@steve59 What gear are you using to make your 7F sound so good? 
KEF Blade -- how good are they?
There have been quite a few negative comments on this site over the years about the Blades. I personally think they are the best speakers for what I appreciate the most, incredible placement of performers on the soundstage.One difficulty in owning...
