Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: KEF Blade 2 has arrived :)

I haven't heard anything remotely like what you're describing. In fact the midrange is really natural soundind, especially through the vocal range. Maybe there was a hint of what you heard before I set them in the positions they are in now (different from the photos). Contrary to what I've seen and read, they do need toe in even along the short wall. Johan Coorg from KEF visited my home last week and made the toe in adjustment. With a straight ahead positiong the bass can slighlty overpower the midrange which I guess could lead to what you've heard. I can only say they are the most natural sounding speakers I've ever had in my room and I've had speakers from Joseph and Aerial there just before the Blade 2. FWIW, I've been a musican all my life and am very happy with the Blade 2. It can do piano very convincingly as well. As a frame if reference, I have a Bosendorfer Imperial downstairs. They can convey the dynamics, scale and nuances without skipping a beat.
