Hi and thank you very much for the very valuable reply
First i have a great admiration for Kef brand and for this little big speaker ... just looking at the driver the excellent build quality shows.
When you say " in reviewer speak it would be called "dry". And it lacks the punch that is needed for the best dynamic range " you explain much better than i could do the situation
A 5" woofer can arrive up to a point, no matter how good it is.
Not only ... i have read mainly that if you ask a little woofer also to do the very low bass at relatively high level this leads to distortion in the midrange (i think that at least 3 ways is a minimum in general with "conventional" drivers to cover the full range, like Wilson does for instance ... )
I am sure that a two ways active system with electronic xover and cut at around 150 Hz with one good 12" woofer for side below and the Kefs above would give a spectacular and full range sound.
And the Kefs made free to reproduce the low and energetic bass would sound even better (i.e. less distortion)
But in a small room and with music with not much bass content they could be just perfect also standalone, as everyone here is saying. Rightly.
I have recently moved to a HE solution just to keep distortion low as much as possible ... this should always be the aim, IMHO of course.
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
bg
