Phil, were the KEFs any good?. They have long been admired from afar but haven't heard a pair.

They were excellent.
They just disapeared amidst tne music.
I used them in a room 4.5 x 4.5.
I would love another sorted pair.
Definately reccomended.
If anyone has them, please hand them back! :-)
Coloured? That's what has held me back. I think they'd be very good in my space, which is about 3.5x3m

You are not the first to report being disappointed with the Whest phonostages. Shame as they re not cheap even if they are well built. But if they don't sound good ............

Selling my T&A V10 amp, which the buyer then destroyed. Idiot
Selling a pair of Audio Innovations Series 1000 mk3 amps
Selling my ET2 tonearm.
Buying an Esoteric P 3
Not buying a Sansui TU X1
Selling my Voyd valdi
Not buying a Reimyo CDP 777
Missing an oportunity to buy a thorens TD124 mk2
There have been a few regrets.
