I bought a used Reference 202/2c center channel and when it arrived the crossovers were damaged from shipping (they had come loose and rattled around inside) possibly because it was not in the original shipping materials. There were also scratches in the finish on the top of the unit. I sent it to KEF in New Jersey and they repaired it, polished the top, and returned it in brand new factory packaging. Sounds fantastic of course, and looks great too.
Even the experts in speaker making needs to listen to the actual product to see if it sounds correct or even good, yet some of the keyboard experts are able to tell if a product is good or not by simply looking at the graphs, brilliant.
I don’t think that’s accurate. They do simulations before physical prototypes but like the eu said in the video the simulations are not 100% accurate and listening is needed
I have been dreaming of a passive stereo speaker from your brand and I have the money to buy it according to the UK price, but the shipping cost to Iran is very high. I hope one day you will open a sales office in Iran.
This is what you get if you spend €10000 or more for a pair of Kef’s. Everything below 10K is made in China. Luckily the Chinese have some great production facilities also.
Made in china... Kupiłem kef q950 byłem bardzo rozczarowany wykonaniem, krawędzie poszpachlowane, poszarpane, pierścienie głośników odstawały... Oddałem je tego samego dnia... Teraz moje ucho i oko cieszą focal Aria 926.
@@tomekbeling922 Pewnie masz rację. Ale tak szczerze to spodziewałem się czegoś więcej tym bardziej że prędzej miałem budżetowe polskie kolumny i były wykonane bardzo poprawnie...
probably even your Focal are made by the Chinese, now everything is made by the Chinese because simply the companies just want to make more and more money
This is great and all, never heard a kef I don't like, but... I'm confused because the new kefs say assembled/made in china but designed in their homeland, so why are they saying they make them and assemble them there?

Thank you for keeping the music alive. Kef 🙏

What are you talking about? The video clearly shows the 'experts' are using graphs as well. They dont just use their ears.

ASR never said that for speakers. Why are you making things up?
Kef la perfección del Sonido !!
Thank you for the video! Love my KEF Reference 205!
@@Ol4me Thank you 😊
I didn’t know KEF open the factory tours again. Nice one
Thanks for the great informative and interesting video. Keep up the work *thumbsup*
Love the benchmark box at 3:27
Dear Brothers, marvelous indeed. Please give emphasis on sound checking ❤
Really cool video thanks!
Hva tenker du om bilstereo?😄
Do they use silicon - de coupling - gaskets?
Now you have been to both KEF and B&W, which speaker do you prefer?
Dali
Elysian 2 and 4
Wharfedale evo 4.4
I have some old B&W CM4's that have been very good to me
Nubert nuvero
Digger videoene deres!😊
AWESOME! Thx so much.
The Craftsmanship this is why are so expensive 🙌🏾
Surprisingly small operation for such a popular international brand.
Which 3d cad software are using?
What was those B&W speaker was doing there?
Excellent video thanks
Buenas tardes a todos 🙋♂🎼🎶💖👍
Does anybody recognise the 3D CAD they use?
I'd love to see a vid of my 40 year old Carina II speakers tested there just for a comparison to their products now.
I love my KEF Q350's!

It took you 6 months to edit this video?
This story are first presented in our magazine, and it was published now in our christmas edition. Thats why it has taken so long time
What a great sound of Reference 107/2 is... I have a beloved 107/2 signed Raymond Cook so called Special Edition.
Great.
Not made in China ?
Reference and Blade series and of course development are done in the UK.
This is what you get if you spend €10000 or more for a pair of Kef’s. Everything below 10K is made in China. Luckily the Chinese have some great production facilities also.
Lütfen türkçe alt yazıda eklermisiniz videolarınıza .Basarılarınızın devamını diliyorum.
IQ the best
T-Cut Color Fast Black Scratch Remover, Lak Restorer, Car Polish, 500 ml
mine were made in china ??
Only the most expensive KEF-speakers are made in England.
When R Meta will be released
I use Kef 104AB and Kef coda II modified by me. Love kef vintage stuff
Belisimooooooo
How do they Test the Reference
A Test for a Test for a Test....
I detest these overated boxes
Perhaps you could get KEF to rename small speakers "Baby Stukas"
Kef knows how to build a cabinet
Made in china...

Kupiłeś tanioche od KEF i oczekiwałeś wykonania jak w wersji R?? Focal to chyba też nie ta sama półka cenowa żeby porównywać.

It’s there cheaper models that are made in China. Blade and Reference is made in England,
Kenapa harga nya sangat mahal
now show us the factory in china....
We would love to visit the factories in China, but we don’t have the budget. We are a small hifi-magazine in Norway that also make som videos 😊
You will probably see both kef and b&w parts on the same floor...
@@dbg317 yeah, definitely
No theres no KEF in China actually, which they call it Edifier. 😌😌🤫🤫
@@rocker80721 china assembly plants like kef r11
Sieht wie Hinterhof Fabrik aus , sehr ungemütlich,verfallen und kalt.
Sony is the best loudspeaker
😂 lol !
