KEF's latest concept design, the Blade. Apparently not for sale, unlike the Muon...

Wow, very interesting looking. Would be interesting to read the sonic improvements that led them to use carbon fiber instead of wood for the cabinets.

I'd like to hear a pair sometime :yes:.
 
I think that the enclosure shape and size doesn't lend itself to wood construction. It's possible to make a few, but not mass produce it economically.

Not that carbon fibre is cheap... But it looks cool.

I think that the shaping issue is what made the Muon out of aluminium.
 
KEF just posted a section on this blade concept. The home page of the uk site has an interesting animation on the design.

I like it. Already thinking on how to adapt the design with non-uni-q drivers. Thinking of a bessel array in the front.
 
This looks good, but what i know is that it is a unique one-off speaker which is just created to show off KEF technology and is still not available for sale.
 
Yeah, like the Humble telescope. Great technology, but no trickle down for the rest of us.
