Quote from happy customer....
......the Meta technology completely changes the sound and the music. In a hugely positive way - it just opens everything across the entire spectrum. I’ve heard things I’ve ever heard before.
At opposite ends of the scale, Kef LSX2 full system with built-in amplifier and streamer just arrived, £1199
Kef Blade 2, no amplifier, no streamer just arguably the world's finest loudspeakers, also just arrived ! £ 22,500 !!

£ 7500 for the 3s and £ 9999 for the 5s, form an orderly queue please
2022 whoo hoo!
I took a trip to a 900 year old staging post in Kent to visit the birthplace of the Kef Meta technology and find out why many other speakers now sound broken.
There is now a Blog above with more info and links to videos with even more info
Then wait a little while and come in for a listen, this is really really special
The amazing KC62 Subwoofer
And the clever Kef eggheads have done it again, this time the engineers have wound 2 different diameter voice coils onto one core to create a tiny subwoofer that goes really deep!This sub is only a 7" cube packed with ground breaking tech in both speakers and amplifiers including a DSP set-up and high level inputs for using in a stereo system.
Check out this link : Kef KC62 Sub Video
We will be delivering the KC62 from mid March and demonstrating it whenever we are allowed to open again!
Just when you thought the Kef range couldn't get any better the engineers have gone and done it again! Unlike other marketing led BS meisters the Kef R&D team do real research leading to real breakthroughs and the latest is Meta Technology. Check out the new LS50 Meta and Ls50 Wireless II on our BLOG, also watch this video and then come for a listen, they are amazing!
Kef Reference 3 now instock, and a cracking new subwoofer, the RF 92 at £ 1999
Kef Blade2s are now available to lust over and listen to at Lyric Hifi!
Absolutely gorgeous in both form and function, these are one of the greatest ever speakers, a true icon of the state of the art
NEW R Series is here and it's great!
Most models look the same, or very similar, but they really aren't!
The new models are R3 bookshelf at £1300, R5 slim floorstanders at £ 1999, R7 floorstanders with deeper bass at £ 2599 and the Flagship R11s at £ 3999. I'm listening to the big ones just now and they are superb. Give me a call if you want to have a listen too!
The KEF LS50 has been one of the most important speakers of the past 5 years
This is an engineer-led design with unrivalled performance at the price, and there is still little around that can come close
So an additional active and wireless version is very interesting
Two speakers, built-in power amplifiers, one wire between them, mains powered, controlled from your tablet or phone, this could be all the hifi system you need.
LS50 wireless looks good and sounds superb, £ 1999 per pair, now playing in the shop
For an in-depth analysis follow this link to an American review by Darko, who has made them his 'Product of the Year'
If the review is too heavy just call in here for a listen
The Kef Reference range stands for the ultimate performance.
Projects such as the amazing Muon and Blades showcase new technology which then filters into the main ranges.
That's good as Muons are £ 160,000 and Blades £ 20,000 so they don't apply to most people, until now.
The R series was the first to use Blade technology and they are outstanding performance and value I have really been looking forward to the updated Reference series.
There are three new models to salivate over
Imaginatively named model One, Three, and Five these cover a price range from £6500 to £ 15000
The £6500 Model Ones are bookshelf/stand mount speakers featuring an all new Uni-Q unit with the treble placed in the centre of the midrange to give a wide an even room dispersion of high and midrange frequencies along with great precision. This matched with a 6.5" bass unit which packs a real punch and depth.
The Reference 3s are a slim floorstanding version featuring the same mid/treble and 2 of the 6.5" aluminium bass units, £10500
The larger cabinet extends the bass performance while retaining a large spread of sound from the latest Blade derived mid/treble unit
Pictured left to right, walnut finish, gloss black, rosewood, gloss white all Ref 3, then Reference 5
The Reference 5s are another slim floorstander featuring the same mid/treble and 4 of the 6.5" bass units, £15,000
The detailing and finish of these new speakers are superb. You will be really impressed when you see, touch, and especially hear them. There are also matching centre speakers and a subwoofer if you want to use Reference in a surround set-up.
Reference 3 now on demonstration, give me a call if you want to know more.
Fabulous black and white shape....and a car
These are the Kef Blades, the pure concept that became a reality, now available at Lyric Hifi
