My experience with Kef uniq is more power better. I sold my R107/2 last winter. They still had world class bass, but the mids and highs were showing their age next to the newest hifi I had. The Blade intro by Kef the first showing used 2 JC1's per channel if I remember correctly. The Blade also has the newest uniq tech, that said there's a used pair of each from the same shop listed here the R207/2 $8k the Blade $15k...If I could afford the components I would buy the Blade and be done, but I would probably get better sound from the 207/2 with the components I use(afford).
KEF Reference 207/2s or Blade 2
I've been using KEF Reference 1s with Velodyne HGS-15s, but regret giving away my 107/2s. Although the Ref 1s may portray more detail than the 107/2s, they seem to lack the same sense of presence as the large full-range speakers. Two prospects are KEF Reference 207/2s and Blade 2s. The 207/2s would match an unused 204/2C I have planned to sell. I haven't heard either, just read Atkinson's reviews. Any advice re 207/2s v Blade 2 would be appreciated.
Also, I used three Parasound JC 1 monoblocks and a JC 2 preamp with the 107/2s and 204/2C, but use an Ayre VX-5 Twenty and KX-5 Twenty preamp with the Ref 1s. Would I need to revert to the JC 1s -- haven't sold them yet -- for the 207/2s or Blade 2s?
