• The BLADE's singular HF/MF Uni-Q driver array works in tandem with its four side-ed bass driver, effectively creating a single, flawlessly coherent unit..
• To avoid bass frequency dissipation, the LF drivers are ed back-to-back. This configuration cancels out any unwanted frequencies or coloration, and partly accounts for the BLADE's engagingly musical performance..
• Two pairs of the finest audiophile quality WBT connectors allow for bi-wiring, or bi-amping, so you can properly harness every single detail of the music you're listening to..
• The simple low order crossovers employ the best components available, carefully selected by our engineers so that every part of the signal path is fine-tuned for maximum clarity..
• All crossover components are individually wired by hand, rather than ed on a conventional printed circuit board. This optimizes both reliability and sound quality by assuring the cleanest possible signal transmission..

KEF BLADE is the production version of the famous Concept BLADE project KEF revealed at the Munich High End Show in 2009. Refined using ingenious new materials to replicate the shattering performance of the original, KEF BLADE is a unique synthesis of cutting edge audio technology and groundbreaking design. The inspiration was simple: to give some of the world's most talented audio engineers complete freedom to create a speaker to showcase KEF's technology leadership and powers of innovation. No preconceptions. No need to use existing components. And no design or cost restrictions whatsoever. After three years of original research and exhaustive testing, what our team came up with looked and sounded like no other speaker: Concept BLADE, whose startling acoustic precision was so enthusiastically accled when it was first revealed at the Munich High End Show in 2009. But unlike glamorously radical concept cars that never see production, we decided it was simply too good not to take a step further. Encouraged by all the reviews, and to mark KEF's 50th anniversary, the design team was given the go-ahead to develop this stunning concept for production, and two more years were spent painstakingly refining the concept to produce an edition that serious audiophiles could actually own. We devised ingenious applications of different new materials to replicate the shattering performance of the original, using innovative technologies to deliver the acoustic capabilities required of such a super-premium product. We perfected a method of manufacturing the complex parabolic enclosures. The drivers gained sophisticated enhancements to recapture the magic of listening to the one-off prototype. What was previously thought impossible was set to become a reality. The result is KEF BLADE - a unique synthesis of cutting edge audio technology and groundbreaking design. While the technologies involved are very advanced, the original focus on simplicity remains every single component operates so comfortably within its performance envelope that they work together as a single, flawlessly coherent unit - in effect, a giant full range Uni-Q driver array.
