If all you care about is what they sound like and you don't care about cosmetic issues then order a pair and don't bother reading further

If someone stole these and KEF raised the price to $5k I would still buy a pair

I'm looking for good enough and the new pair almost passed

A good start on a very good idea, but really just a DAC and amp patched onto the back a very well received pair of speakers.

Researching best sound is fun for some out there, but for those who want to make sure they are getting the best pairing I would recommend these, with warning to abandon hope for wireless and plan to get Bluesound streamer or similar to get true wireless and maybe MQA capability

If KEF gets the app to work as it should, I think this speaker deserves and extra star

Before you spend 10000+ for a system , give these a listen , you will be as I , amazed
