Gents, I have had my Reference 2's now for donkeys years, I bought them new from Northwood audio way back in the good 'ole nighties ! Over recent months, I have really been considering upgrading to Reference 4's, they seem to make a shade over a grand. I know Kefs are not everyones taste, however I do like them, I think they are incredibly punchy, and the spread of sound is excellent, I also have the 200C and the TDM 34DS, for the V bit. The Reference 4's are pretty fucking big boxs, so not only is it a financial investment, some thoguht has to go into are this right visually ! Before I do actually go under the matress and withdraw the loot is there anything that I should consider. The ones that spring to mind are Proac Response range, or the living voice, but these seems to make good money on the used market. I am using Clear audio TT, CD63 KIDP, the Music First (No I have not painted it black yet ;) ) the Rega powers, until I find either some Exposure 16's or a build a point to point Class A valve amp.
