Staying in SFO for the night traveling to Santa Rosa for a wedding this weekend. While eating at Ruth's Chris, noticed a nearby audio store with tube amps in the window. Walked a block over to Audio Vision and heard the KEF Blades driven by Naim electronics. While they were among the most coherent box speakers I've heard, I wasn't exactly bowled over - even if they were using Nordost Odin cabling. They were most certainly point sources whose sound was immediately evident as emanating from the center driver. Asking price? $29k. Really wish they were using the ARC electronics to drive them as there wasn't much dimensionality.
It was nevertheless refreshing to see a genuine brick and mortars audio store with some really nice stuff.
