KEF show at Alpha High End with the Reference Series & Blade 2 - March 2016

Time to go to the other rooms!

What do we see elsewhere in the room, here and there?
For example a pair of Martin Logan Neoliths.






Sammy is the only authorized dealer for the ML Neolith in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and France.


And a lot, really a lot of other gear:










If you fancy a used pair of Nautilus, Sammy has them for you!

[bart]

Shiny objects, those Nautilus!




Stay tuned for more!
Tomorrow I'll post about the other rooms.

Just in case you did not spot Stefan's profile in the top right corner of the picture and reflected in the Neoliths... look again...

[Spirit Crusher]

Wow, this time you were really fast with the report! I think the accountant had mercy with you...

[bart]

Haha Stefan, yes, he had.
It was simple, all our money gone to audio!

Before I continue, I have to say my better half outdid herself this time.
There is true art in her pictures.
Sometimes it even becomes abstract, like this one: reflections of gear in a glass door.




When entering the "small room", the African room, she took this shot:




Some Avantgarde Acoustics lurking in the mirroring door.

KEF LS50 driven by Musical Fidelity.




A modest system, but still very decently performing.
Seems like matte is the new thing.

[bart]

The little KEFs, of course not the ultimate bass champions, defended themselves well in giving quite a good soundstage, detail, and image.

Some details of them:






I didn't hear the turntable.




Meta is clearly intrigued by cables.

[bart]

Up to another room.
Stumbling across these:




Or these:




Vivid Audio and Avantgarde Acoustics, 2 different approaches, twice with magnificent results.




A horn is a nice object for a camera.






Sammy with some customers, seen through the bits and bites.




Artifacts from long ago.

[bart]

The English Room, where a pair of 804 D3s had to make room for a pair of KEF Ref 1s, driven by Accuphase (DP-410 and E-470).




This is always a tough room to photograph.






With a sensitivity of 85 dB, the Ref 1 is power hungry.
That is why a E-470 was preferred (a E-600 was the alternative, and I'm sure it would have done the job very nicely).

[bart]

Accuphase makes every speaker sing.










The Ref 1.
