Further Information

 

Hi fellow SNAer, 

 

Selling a pair of good-looking KEF R500 floorstanders that have been my primary speakers for  5 years now. It's been well looked after and is in an excellent condition. There are some minor marks (only visible when we go looking for them) as can be seen on the pics. I upgraded the spikes with Isoacoustics Gaia 3 which is a must for these speakers as they respond really well to the Gaia.

Selling them as a package for an excellent price. These have been in my dedicated listening room in a smoke and pet-free environment. 

 

I absolutely love the sound from these and when I got the itch to upgrade, I went down to our local Hi-Fi store to listen to the R5, R7 Meta and R11 Meta. While all these certainly provided some level of improvement , I did not think they were large enough jump for me in terms of SQ compared to the excellent R500. So finally took a different route and ended with a pair of Magico A3s .The speakers have been driven by Denon X4500h for a little while, and I upgraded to March P502 ncore amps soon after. So have always been driven with clean power and crossed over to the subs at 80Hz for the lower end duties. 

 

KEF R500 and Isoacoustics Gaia 3 have been reviewed extensively - 

Doug Schneider's summary   The R500’s sultry-smooth, extraordinarily clean, natural-sounding midrange allows this small floorstander to compete with speakers at any price. Its highs approach what the best speakers offer, and its soundstaging and imaging are beyond reproach

I stronlgy prefer a pick-up at this stage, but if shipping is absolutely needed, we can work on it. 

 

Thank you ,

Amuth
