kef r series ?

[admin_exported]

Simple question . All the pictures i,ve seen of the speakers, i,ve not come across any with front covers do they have any ?

FATS - The manual on the KEF web-site mentions "Grilles" so I assume they do have them even though none of the pictures I've seen show them.

Surely you're not interested though - thought you were an ATC man ???????

I was, speaker less at the moment . Driving myself barmy without my music for the last few months. Saving my pennies.

Want to get some keepers, but there,s that much new stuff out lately the head starts to spin. :wall:

By the way are you a warren zevon fan ?

Huge Warren Zevon fan - the R's do have magnetic grilles.

And they sounded superb at the Manchester Show today!!!

Although the Blade did sound more natural......but they are £20k!! :doh:

Can't help you here I'm afraid - even though I've seen and heard the R series on three separate occasions, I haven't seen a grille yet!

I wouldn't say the grilles have a particular characteristic

:rofl: quite right, i,ve just read it back :doh: part two the speakers sound please.

 

[Frank Harvey]

Neutral, very open, detailed, and transparent, with just enough warmth.

....with just enough warmth.

...from the grills, perhaps?

Sorry, FATS, I couldn't resist!

Does anyone know if this range of speaker is manuafactured in the UK or from China?

As with all UK speaker manufacturers with multiple ranges like B&W, Monitor Audio and KEF, all ranges are made in China except for their top range (800 series, Platinum, Reference etc). One thing I will say though, is that the plant in China that makes KEF speakers is owned by KEF, so it's not an OEM company.

Are you able to share your plans to review the R Series in WHF ? Thanks

What about the R100's. Are they available?

 

[Frank Harvey]

The last product to be launched will be the R400b, which will be around the end of November - as for the other models, it'll depend on the model and finish. Most of the products will be within the next two weeks, unless there are any delays. I'll post up if I hear more. I can check when I'm back in work tomorrow - I'm off today as I have a funeral to attend.
