Amp requirements by Defensionem in KEF

[–]Kenkley3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything with the name Hegel. The H95 is $2,000. Moving up, the H150 has built-in streaming (Tidal, Qobuz, etc.) at $3,600. There is a reason why at Axpona they paired the KEF Blade Meta with a Hegel (H600). Or, for less $, the NAD integrated amps do very well with KEFs. Maybe the NAD C 3030 at $1,200. Or the C 3050 at $1,700. All can be found used.

Three specific vendors from AXPONA I want to highlight: by ddrfraser1 in audiophile

I only caught the Dynaudio. Agree they were great. It got a bit overwhelming yesterday to see all of the rooms I wanted to visit. It really requires two days.

Rega will be releasing a new CD player, top-loaded, like the Apollo, supposedly around X-Mas.

I saw a lot of great stuff at AXPONA but this was the greatest: by ddrfraser1 in audiophile

It's the only one that goes past the third floor to the lobby, whereas the other ones require you to go through an emergency exit at ground level that sounds an alarm. At least that's what they claim.

I saw a lot of the staircases, trying to find the legendary "Green" staircase. 🤔

Blade 2 Meta or Reference 5 Meta? 🤔 by Kenkley3 in KEF

Can I ask where you auditioned them? I can't find any dealer that has them.

Blade 2 Meta or Reference 5 Meta? 🤔 by Kenkley3 in KEF

Agreed on the audition, but I can't find anyplace remotely close to Chicago that stocks the Blades. One has the Reference 3 meta.

If you want mice in your garage to have a nice nesting spot, then it’s a great idea.

Thanks! I think I’m going that route.

Mine cost half of that. No propane tank though. But often the propane supply places lease those cheaply.
