Yes the chord are truly analytical amp. I heard the new 803 with the classe and sourced by a vinyl (probably rega?) when tested by some one else that day, but that was not that much impressed.. I will see if there is anything I can do in the near future but really busy recently. Thanks for...

Yes, that is the plan.

Audiolab 8300

I did spend quite a few hours at David's in Coventry and David did all the heavy work moving the speakers which were all stone heavy, hence a big thanks for David above all. As there was no M6500i around, David gave me two amps (MF M6si and Chord 2650) to play around when I listened to: 1. Kef...

Thanks I will have a look later.

Yes of course. I am looking for speakers with front facing ports, so I may place them very close to the walls. Any suggestions?

Do you mean the 205/2 or 203/2 are clearly better than the R series?

I went through that thread, it seems the latest reference 3 made some impressive improvement over the 203/2. I will try to have a go myself when possible. I also have noticed that you mentioned the current R series in terms of VFM, will you still recommend the R900 over the 205/2 at the...

Yes, I am more towards the /2 too. Edit: ever compared the 205/2 with the latest reference 5?

Thanks for the advice! I think I will stick with the M6500i at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the so detailed suggestions! So the kef reference are really true/loyal to what they are feed then. I noticed on some foreign forums saying the m6500i is not their choice for the 205/2 when compared to a burmester integrated and some other power amps, but that will be...

Thanks @CnoEvil! The speakers are 684 (which were used as surround speakers in my HT) as the CM9s are singing for my dad at the moment. I am playing with the audiolab 8200CDQ and the apogee Mini-DAC. Probably I may replace the current integrated amp with a power amplifier in the near future...

Hi, I am quite tempted to upgrade my current B&W floorstanding to a pair of used KEF 205 (priced around 2K, similar to ex-demo 203/2) or 205/2 (priced a little over 3k). The new room is much smaller with open kitchen, so the speakers are positioned quite close to the wall in the lounge part...
