I heard from a number of folks the Blades were underwhelming...

The entire current KEF Reference series is handcrafted in the United Kingdom.

I've heard the Blades in three rooms, with different gear and the bass has been boomy, and not very good every time. I'd like to hear them in a proper room and see how they sound.

Ditto. Just seemed to play loud with little finesse.

I never had good feeling with Blade's... Last time, a week ago, Kef were matched with a full Accuphase system (C3800 & A65 couple & 910 drive and dac), and result wasnt good as expected!
