"...many people research items on Amazon and still buy them at a typical Brick & Mortar store. What a cost efficient method to get their message out for KEF."

When I was considering the KEF Reference line of speakers I too discovered their presence on Amazon. It seems though that if you make the purchase through Amazon they will contact you and locate a dealer in your area to do the actual delivery and setup. Sounds like a good deal for the dealer. It's so easy to make impulse purchases on Amazon. I'd be curious to know how many of KEF's high end speakers are sold this way...

I set a budget of $30,000 fo speakers and almost bought these but those $2,000 over are a deal breaker!

1.0 out of 5 starsAre these a joke?

I'm glad they specified that the price is for the pair, because these are obviously too pedestrian for my ears at that cost. I'll be spending at least $40k per speaker, and I expect them to look at least twice as pretentious.


Gotta love the bogus amazon reviews. There’s an entire site dedicated to them. I love my reference 5s.

My local Best Buy / Magnolia expects to have a number of KEF speakers on their floor within the next two weeks. They sold off all of their Sonus Faber speakers to make room.

I seriously tempted to buy a pair of the LS50 wireless speakers for my main floor. My wife killed the idea of a 2nd system, and doesn't want to have furniture to house all the gear. I heard a set of the LS50s at my local hi-fi shop about a week ago and was blown away. $2200 for the pair is extremely reasonable too.

I don't have any experience in this area, but my guess is he will likely need to purchase a port reducer for those amorous listening sessions. .

Good to see that the amazon comedians can still fit in a fake review despite their grueling schedule consisting of 2 community college classes, a part-time job in fast food, and getting rejected on online dating sites.

Nothing aggravates me more than the fake low class Amazon reviews!!
