Rather than focussing on the KEF speakers we get a wonderful shot of a lovely yellow orchid! Seriously I'm considering buying a pair of these, so glad the shops have reopened after lockdown.

Thank you for taking the time to post your experiences. This review has been very helpful indeed. I use a JBL SDR-35 which is a rebadged Arcam AVR30 with upgraded dacs and I’m looking for some new speakers. I just demo’d the R7’s with an Arcam AVR5 in store and I thought it was sublime! Our rooms are not too dissimilar in size too so its wonderful to hear you had a similar experience. I’m have a home demo scheduled, so fingers crossed they work well in my room too. Quick question if that is ok? Did you have to use the foam port bungs?

I finally got around to checking these out after ignoring them for a few years, and now I want a pair. I was particularly blown away by the incredible midrange presentation. White looks great for, but maybe walnut for me. Certainly not dust magnet black.

Thanks Dave. Maybe someday i will get a pair of 7’s or 5’s. I still very much love my 32 old Thiel CS2’s in perfect condition. The level of improvement (my guess is 10% -15% on certain recordings) is difficult to justify. I too am a big KEF fan. I own LS50’s in white / electric blue....also gorgeous.....Cheers!

I got Plinius 9200XLR amp,Mofi Turntable with Hana cartridge,Audioquest cables.My collection:classic rock from Beatles on,some bues and jazz.I like bass with punch but also refinement when necessary.I don`t like ``laid back`` or too relaxed sound.I tried Dali Rubicon 6 and Dynaudio Focus 220 but both sounded too polite to me.What about KEF R7 or R11?

Good comments. I have a question about them that I hope that you could help me with. Would you consider them suitable for fast and dynamic rock music like other speakers such asTannoy XT8F or Focal Aria 936, or maybe they are a bit shy and slow? Thank you for this review!

Hi David, I still use these for many hours every day. They give the impression of being quite relaxed and mellow, which is nice for certain genres of music. However, if you drive these with the right amp (great pairings are Arcam and Denon) and they come alive, lots of detail, control and lower frequencies without sounding harsh.
