Don't want you to run out of popcorn, so here's an early review.
Where to begin. Well first of all i'm using an alesis ra150, which is pretty sterile as amps go. But i'm beat and there's no way i'm rolling the rack out tonight.
Good imaging, these seem to have a more localized sound (maybe the cut off low end?). Not overly bright, pretty good mids.
These really want a sub playing along with them, there's something straight up blocking the bottom end, and it's making paul simon sound very flat. says 70hz but that seems optimistic.
The Cars sound good, but subdued.
Closest sounding speaker i have are some Wharfdale XP2 Glendales. I could see these being great for a smaller room, my space is swallowing them a bit.
I do like the tweeters, quite smooth.
Tried against some AR18Bs, the ARs have a fuller sound, but the KEFs are much "wider" and the speakers blend together better.
I need to give them a better listen with a better amp and sub patched in. Might be worth checking/resealing the drivers. Might be the amp. Something seems amiss. What is the b200 doing in other enclosures?
Damn this reads like a buzzword salad...
Still never ceases to amaze me. So many different speakers, so many different sounds.
