New KEF E Series

[Paul Theother]

I have just come across news on Home Media's website that KEF have launched a new range called the E Series.....http://www.homemedialimited.co.uk/kef-e-series-product-range-announced.html

It's nice when you find these things out on Facebook rather than being told beforehand.

I despise when this happens, as people start calling in asking for details, and think you're a *** when you can't tell them anything about them.

Looks nice!

Agreed. It takes a moments thought to send an email a day ahead of a press release.

Press release? What press release? Not a sniff of info on these received by us – will ask questions of KEF PR.

 

[Frank Harvey]

I'm guessing a KHT3005 replacement - but hey, what do I know?

 

[Paul Theother]

I have just called Home Media and they stated that they received an official KEF Marketing email late afternoon yesterday detailing the new E Series. No doubt other retailers would have also received the same information.

 

[Andrew Everard]

Am promised full press release and pix within a few minutes, so news story will follow – though not sure what it will add to the comprehensive coverage on that retailer's site except (perhaps, hopefully) pricing.

 

[John Duncan]

I'd have them. They're preeeeeeeedeeeeeee.

Oh dear, a perfect Kef PR disaster!

It's listed on the KEF website...

KEF E Series | Coming Soon

 

[Andrew Everard]

Apparently now no press release will be immediately forthcoming, as they're not due until late April, and 'UK price yet to be determined'.

But parent company GP's German operation published a press release a couple of hours ago with a price of €999 for the 5.1-channel E305 package, so that's the one I've used in our news story

Far from it, with all the coverage they're getting!

(And no, not one of mine...)

Whoever posted that this was a 'PR disaster' obviously doesn't know a great deal about PR!

Of course you'll say that! Can you explain why you didn't inform your dealers about these new speakers properly? Even WHF had to get information from a German site.

KEF UK retailers were all informed – that’s how Home Media got the original story! The system is not available until end-April so no Press Release was issued for obvious reasons. Well, obvious to anyone who knows anything about PR!

Oh well, I know at least a couple of dealers who were not informed (see above). And thanks for continuing to be condescending. Didn't expect this from someone who works for a PR company.

My apologies bigboss - didn't mean to come across as condescending - that's not my usual style

I only meant it as a joke, after seeing HCC's & AE's posts. Apologies if you took offence to it.

I think you're right. They can't have 2 similar products in the same price bracket.
