Hi,
Just purchased them after the positive reviews generally. I had the Dali Zensor 3's with my Hegel H90 and although I liked my Dali's a lot with my Rega Brio, with the Hegel they have become a bit thin and bright sounding sometimes. I didnt had a chance to test the KEF's with my Hegel so I have relied on the reviews which stated them being very clear and detailed sounding speakers with a touch warmnes.. so I was expecting them to be more warm sounding then my Dali's, therefore better match to Hegel but to my surprise they are much much warmer compared to Dali's with Hegel. Hegel not being a warm sounding amp, I couldnt believe how much difference was there to sound color compared to Dali’s. Sound is really dark, thick. Not boomy but detailed thick. It is an easy listen, I can listen to it for hours without any fatigue both on low and high volumes but I find the sound lacking details. There is no excitement, no attack contrary to the reviews .. It would be perfect if there was a bit more spark to it on the high mids to highs..I miss the energy Dali's had with the Rega. Not sure if it will keep me happy but at the moment I have doubts..
has anyone share similar opinions ?
