Err...aren't they £70k

Even if they were £10k, they wouldn't be worth it.

I once heard the KEF R109 'The Maidstone' at Heathrow. I think it was something like £12k. Now that was a £12k speaker. Fantastic!

KEF have lost the plot. The R201/2 really wasn't great. Maybe it wasn't fully run in? Maybe it needed a better amp or source?

But that isn't the point is it? FFS! This was the 21st birthday of this show. That means we have had this type of hifi exhibition for 21 years and yet still the manufacturers cannot, for the most part, show us a decent sound in a hotel bedroom.

If not after 21 years then when FFS?

They don't deserve to stay in business (and I don't mean just KEF).
