Like many here, I thoroughly and genuinely enjoy your journey.

But let's be honest.....you will never 'end up' with anything.

And I'm kinda glad, frankly.

Congratulations. I have always wondered how they sound. I like how they look.

Congratulations on the Blade 2's. The curves and design of these speakers is very striking and bold. Due to the configuration of the bass drivers, these speakers need plenty of room between the sidewalls, and it looks like your room setup is perfect for them. Please post your listening impressions once they have fully broken in!

The beauty about these kefs is the even lateral response because of the uniq driver. Easy to tailor to the room via toe in and toe out

Two thumbs up!

Thanks everyone for the kinds words. The Blade 2s are settling in quite nicely. The room is perfect for these speakers. It's going to take some time to dial them in. With Stillpoints (thank you Ivan), its more easier to move them than with spikes.

It's my busy season at work (tax consulting for the commercial real estate industry) so I am not getting too much time to listen to them.

I will be able to provide more feedback in a few weeks. Thus far, I am amazed with these speakers - they sound even better at home that in the dealer's audio room!

Bump, A pair of blades came up locally that have been residing in my basement listening room this week. After seeing them driven with a hegel h360 at an audio show in a room so much bigger than my listening room I thought it was safe to go for it and I was right to. My wife tells me every time I bring home a new pair of speakers I say the same thing. The walls disappear, it's like performers are in the room, well the blades raised the bar again.

Wow! That is outstanding. Congratulations. Please post your impressions of them after you've had time to really take them in.
