I remember those old Infinity Kappa 9 speakers as sounding pretty good. But I may have been standing at the time. ?

Almost bought a used pair of Sigma's in 1998. 

Real close to a cross between a planar and moving coil speaker in sound.

I'm still kinda tempted?

That's certainly one approach to amplifier placement.   The subs certainly aren't going to walk anywhere.

But then why would you put it on an amp stand like that one?

Mastering room in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

I dig those diffusors on wheels!

Something like those could do the trick in front of my big ass tv on the rear wall.

hadn't even heard of these 'til today...

KEF - Kent Engineering Foundry. Used to make crop sprayers and agricultural machinery. It was bought by Raymond Cook in 1961, ex BBC and Wharfedale, and hence renamed KEF Electronics with a completely different focus - away went the agricultural stuff, and in came the loudspeaker designs.

KEF went bust in 1992 and was bought by the Chinese. So it only existed for 31 years as an independent  business.

Design is done on HK and manufacture in China.

I meant this model:)...hadn't heard any rumors or anything...

Probably not a good choice if you have cats...

 

...or an excellent choice.

Thanks for the historical information Craig!

I was a big fan of the KEF 104ab and 105 of the 70's. KEF drivers were also used in many other speakers that I liked. In some ways, KEF to me in HiFi is like Alfa Romeo To me in motor cars. Those glory old days...
