I've listened to the SE Version extensively, which I thought was a wonderful speaker- articulate with tight, defined base response. They sounded fine off axis & the speaker covers are more sound transparent than the ones on my previous Sonus Fabers Grand Piano's.
If anything, the new GR's should sound even better!
I was very tempted to purchase these, but went for a second hand pair of Canterbury 15's which were less than half the cost of the new Kensington's - mainly because I like BIG speakers (my wife reckons I'm compensating for a part of my male anatomy- she's such a wit!).
The walnut on my Canterbury's is much darker than the newer SE/GR versions so Im pretty sure the walnut does darken over time.
