Kef Blade Two Meta when?

No money man, too crazy pricing. I peasant can only afford my current setup

 

[yapks]

Never mind about Blade lar; maybe LS60 with 2x KC62 is even better in a smaller room.

Have been wanting to hear the Blades, managed to do so @ WAVE show a couple of weeks back.
These Blade1 META sounded good!

I have been following AsciLab's development. They design extremely well measuring speakers. They use Klippel NFS during speaker development. Their driver & crossover components look to be pretty high quality. Demand is high, they are perpetually out of stock.

For your $800 budget, I would recommend AsciLab F6B. If you can stretch your budget a bit more, shoot for the C6B.

Go watch Erin's Audio Corner review of the C6B.


I think they have signed up a SG dealer, you may wish to contact them directly.

It’s likely that KEF lacks the high-end extension and bass output of B&W, but its strength lies in the cohesiveness of its coaxial design for near-field desktop applications. Subjectively, it may or may not feel like an upgrade, depending on your preferences.

Just added super tweeter , very super now

ya my 685 is too near, if i was about 30 to 40cm away from my computer desk it would sound a lot better as in sweet spot

that why now want to change a bookshelf for desktop.


since this is for near-field desktop applications should sound a lot better

 

[cherryboom]

Wow, the 3i—very cool. I love how isobaric designs deliver such tight, controlled bass. I auditioned it briefly once—wonderful speakers.”
