Wow, what a nice surprise and the new Reference models are stunners too! Never liked the dumpy looking old Reference series.

hifikrazy said:Yea, they're certainly due for replacement but I think not, otherwise we would have got wind of it already unless Kef is really that good at keeping a secret.

Jima4a said:I spoke to Kef US about the new Reference line and the Baby Blades yesterday but forgot to ask if the new Reference have grills or not. Not sure I would want that shiny surface for home cinema. I sure they wouldn't have done this without sonic benefits. It will be interesting to see how the new line compares to the 20X/2s and the price competition. Got to admit a pair of Blade IIs in blue would be pretty sweet.
