Price Paid:  $750.00 from Private

Summary:
Köpte dessa för dess bra kritik. Mycket bra byggd högtalare samt till ett väldigt bra beg pris. Man blir förvånad över hur bra de bygger med 2 st 6,5 tum inuti högtalaren.

Strengths:
Spridning, Lättplacerade, Diskant, Mellanregister, luftighet och dynamik

Weaknesses:
Blir ibland lite för stor bas .

Review NaN of , from The Netherlands

Price Paid:  $1215.00 from 0

Summary:
I use them in a system with a Denon AVR3802, Kef model C100, S70 and a Philips DVD729 these speakers are simply magnificent. Huge detail with taut bass and never fatiguing. Effortless delivery of all type of music. However, I have these for 4 months now (paid € 1398)and as a fan I have the feeling not truly experienced them yet (like in the homeaudio store).
I'm considering getting the Rotel RB1070 as my poweramp (for the 4ohm speakers), but I don't now what is the best for my Kef two-two's.
My biggest problem is my need for HomeT. in combination with stereo. Also my budget is a little tight. I hope somebody have some sugestions. I don't want to sell them, so...

Strengths:
It's with imagination, high levels of detail. I'm a rich man with those in my collection. Never fatiguing.
Finish on the cabinet is exquisite. Diamonds are forever.

Weaknesses:
None at all. (The only weakness will be the system. Don't confuse.)

Review NaN of , from UK

Price Paid:  $0.00 from 0

Summary:
Help. I'm considering getting the Kef Model Reference 2.2's. My poweramp is the Audiolab 8000PX. My current left & right speakers are Kef Q75. Centre is Kef Model 200.

Now I only use this system for AV (not for CD Hi-Fi stereo, I have another system for that)

Two questions...

Is my poweramp good enough, or do I need a higher powered amp? At a guess the PX is about 150-170W into 4Ohm.
Is it worth upgrading the left/rights just for AV? (the Kef centre was a huge upgrade- is it the same for l/r'?)

Please contact me.
Thanks

Review NaN of

Price Paid:  $1500.00

Summary:
First, I do not mean to critisize anyone. We
all have our own taste in music. I have listened to many so called high-end systems.
I currently own Mirage M3, B&K 202+, Creek 5350se, Sony ES cd, Jolida JD 100a cd, Kef Ref. model 2, PS Audio 6.1. The Mirage are very detailed, but lack punch. The Kef's are well detailed, have the punch, and give you what you want. A live performance
in your living space. The creek+jolida(w/russian tubes)+Kef is exceptional. It's all there. Bass kick like the Matrix 805 is not, but what do you expect? The Mirage have less, they are very polite in the lower end,and can be too aggressive in the high end. The Kef is
the better overall speaker. It can give you the desired goose bumps. For those who
have not experienced this. You have bad equipment or maybe defective Kef speakers.
The model 1 is great as well. For 3500.00 you too can have a true high end system.

Strengths:
Air,Silence,Dynamics,Tight Bass! Soundstage.
Female voices best I've heard without a second mortgage. Balance is the key. Great Value!

Weaknesses:
None for the money. They are not the B&W Matrix 805.

Similar Products Used:
other than mentioned. Adcom,Musical Fidelity(not equal to creek), B&W 804 & 805,
Parasound, Nad, Energy, Paradigm, PSB, Levinson, Vandersteen, etc.
