For those interested, here is a good review of the R900s:

RE: Kef R900

Thanks for the link, Cno.  It is a very good write-up and even allowing for the odd translational quirk it is compelling and in a style not so often seen in the UK.

I was amused at one comment in view of a recent thread here:- "Even height perspective is clear on the right recordings."

On a detail point, the terminal block seems a good idea with its bi-wiring option and link replacement.

Interesting perspective on advances in speaker design in computer age and with Chinese assembly - very plausible but equally so many older designs still sound good so I am unsure what he 'real truth' is here.

RE: Kef R900

very good speakers for a bigger room. As for the BW 804 D you need a front- wall distance of at least 75 cm for best performance.

RE: Kef R900

Thanks Cno. I have read the review before in the German magazine with google translator but this version is a lot easier to understand!

Kef R series seems definetly cracked the code and the pricing also seems spot on! I wish I have that kind of space. Sad
