Review 2 of 12
Price Paid:
$150.00
from ebay Summary:
I have been using these speakers for 3 months now--I originally bought them to supplement a wharfedale/klipsch 5.1 setup as rears in 7.1. But these KEFs are
so superior in the mid-range and with dialogue that they have move to the front of my system displacing my beloved emerald 97s. KEF simply rules the mid-range. These are ideal speakers for reproducing the human voice. Strengths:
the mid-range Weaknesses:
the cabinets-as others have noted, they cheap looking. Similar Products Used:
Maybe Klipsch comes close, but don't know that I've ever heard a 3in1 speaker so keyed to the midrange..

Review 3 of 12
Price Paid:
$160.00
from Merdeka Audio Summary:
I had the Coda 9 since 1996(app.maybe'95?)
It was an up-grading process from bookshelf to floor-standing speakers.
The magic of all the KEFs are that if you couple them with good cables and components, and with the right tweaks, they produce wonders.
I used the Coda 9 mostly with CD-53 mkII cd-player, Audio Alchemy DAC in the Box & later PS audio DL-3 HDCD DAC, Conrad Johnson PV-10AL Pre and a Velleman Mosfet 100w class A Power Amp built from a Kit.
Van Den Hul 102 MkV purple from DAC to MF X-10D, Belden Silver plated Home-made interconnect to Pre and Nordost Black Knight to power. Kimber 8TC speaker cables or MIT terminator3.
I used two special copper adjustable spike riased rectanglar birch chopping boards under the Coda.
After the initial burn-in, the Coda sounded as good if not better than any audiophile speaker several time its price.
Although I have up-graded my components and speakers several time, I still keep the Coda and listen to them occasionally.
It is great to use the Coda 9 to listen to something like Pat Coil's Schemes & Dreams from Sheffield Lab. Where the range from very low volume single keyboard/piano to full blast dynamics with a lot of details.
I read some previous reviews that said the bass of the Coda is not enough. With enough power from the power amp to drive them the coda 9's bass can be quite impressive.
The only draw back is the front baffle made of plastic comes off easily in time.
But it is very easy to glue back using a glue gun or silicon glass glue. Strengths:
Detail, soundstage, warmth, good all round performance. Weaknesses:
Material of cabinet. Front baffle comes loose after a few years and need to re-glue to the cabinet Similar Products Used:
Goodman, Fisher, Celestion, JBLs, Artison, Yamaha NS-10M, KEF-Q35.2, PSB Alpha, PSB Stratus MIni

from English audio, Heref Summary:
I purchased these loudspeakers by reccomendation by a friend, and i must say that for the money paid, they are truly outstanding. Any other loudspeaker now seems like a sidestep. Strengths:
Great with Stereo soundtracks and with home cinema applications. I use them with a Marantz PM66 ki sig amp, a Marantz CD63 mk2 ki sig cd player, Cable talk 3.1 with gold plated bananas, and SONIC LINK VIOLET interconnects. Weaknesses:
avoid toing in. Similar Products Used:

Review 5 of 12 Summary:
All I can say is GREAT for the money. A true audiophile may not be able to look through the cabinet for a passing grade, but nonetheless, your average joe would be pretty impressed with these. Rock on. Strengths:
I like the crisp sound of these speakers. Very good for the price also. Wouldn't use them for HEAVY BASS, but if you add a good sub to your home theater, these seem to fill in very nice. Weaknesses:
Cabinet itself is not quite of KEF calibur. Not as strong as most KEF products. Similar Products Used:
JBL, Paradigm, Klipsch.
