Probably the best espresso I have ever had was in Colombia at a coffee shop made with a cheap grinder and Gaggia machine with pressurized portafilter - cardinal sins in our snobbish espresso world :D That is when I realized the coffee beans make most of the difference - this was locally sourced...

How massive a leap of faith would it be to extrapolate this review to the smaller R7 or R5 speakers (taking into account the LF response)? Is KEF consistent in their line up?

I had all 3 of my 708Ps fail (amp modules died) and one of them failed again after warranty replacement. Luckily, they were under warranty so I got all the amp modules replaced for no charge (I did have to drive back and forth to the service center multiple times). Even after all this, if I use...

After Amir's review of the Chora 816, I bought myself a pair and have been enjoying them a lot. I wonder how much of an improvement that Aria (or even the higher end) line would be over the Chora series - hard to imagine how much better it can sound.

I ordered the DSP version with mic hoping it can double as a work-call headset on my laptop that has USB-C ports. Hopefully it doesn't take away too much from the SQ. Thanks for the reviews @amirm. I am also enjoying the ridiculously amazing 7Hz IEMs thanks to your review. This is a completely...

I got mine and tried them yesterday. The stock tips did not work for me as the buds kept falling off my ears. It took me about 30 excruciating minutes to replace them with Comply Foam tips (I got them off Amazon a while ago for other IEMs). With no EQ listening via my Hidizs Ap80 Pro-X, the...

Ditto. I have Roon, so I am getting these to try with Amir's EQ settings. These with active noise canceling would be a dream for listening on flights.

Roon is likely to have bad attrition after the retention period. People like these move on to start other companies and rarely stay long after acquisition. This is it, Roon will die. Need to find a different solution. I think Harman wants the RAAT protocol.. Meanwhile, Roon's stability has...

And there is a cost to decompressing too... its just distributed.

Pretty much all Red Hot Chili Peppers and Audioslave albums. The common denominator - Rick Rubin.

But...why???

These are made in Seattle by one guy I believe. I used to listen to them at Audio Connection in Seattle every time I went to see John there. Loved them. Impressive dynamics. Must be a spa owner! :) Thank you Amir for the notes and the pictures! Always good to read about your impressions.

Pretty much everything looks grossly over-engineered to me. Couldn't see the Revel photos but the Focal setup looks the simplest. The prices never cease to give me heartburn. I guess they only need to sell one cable to cover the cost of the demo.

Sold

No. I only use it with chromecast and it has worked flawlessly
