Vintage Kef speakers (Cadenza, Chorale, Coda, Cantor) vs vintage B&W speakers (DM2, DM4, DM5, D5).
Difference, suggestions, thoughts, etc.?
Many thanks.

KEF for jazz/classical, B&W for rock/blues.

I'm Alex.
I have most of those speakers, I would tend to forget all those KEF models, main problem in my view is quacky midrange. DM2 and DM4 are in my opinion are a better option.

I rated the D5 as more tonally accurate than the DM4 and smoother thorough the treble. Long time since I used either though.
What about the Heybrook HB1?

Actually. If you like that sort of sound, the Ruark Swordsman may appeal. It uses the same tweeter, but has a durable bass driver.
i still use the DM2s there are really musical but as with all old speakers get the crossovers overhauled.
