Summary:
I spent over 1 year for searching a speaker, which can really bring me into music palace. And after I listened almost all kinds of speakers ( B&W, Dynaudio, ProAc, JM lab, Sonus FaberSpendor, Mission, Harbeth, AE, JBL, Infinity ......), I finally choose the KEF RDM2 as my final choice both for its excellent sound quality and its rational price.
Before I bought this speaker, I used Warefedale Diamond7.2 for almost 4 years. That is absoulte not a good choice for a music lover. With also cheap equipment, an cheap AV amplifier and CD player, the final sound is tight, harsh and dry, especially people vocal, even worse than my aiwa stereo system speaker. And my ear is very easy to be fatigued with it. So, when I graduated from university, my first idea is to change this system.
Since last year, almost every weekend I spent my time in the hi-fi shop, listen to many, many speakers I mentioned above, but only the KEF give me the most impressive memory. Maybe due to my special loving for vocal, both pop and opera, I still remember last year when I first listen to the KEF RDM2, I was fasinated by it at all from the first second it sang. What a beatiful sound, extreme smooth without any harsh, full of strength and passion, making me heart flying with the song. The sound is natural without any tight, let you listen for very long time but do not feel bored and tired. That is my first impress of RDM2, then
after that time, I listen it at serveral different place with different equipments, every time it bring me a good enjoyment. I begin to consider buy it. But as the KEF's dealers are all not very good, the price is somewhat too high,about $900 - $ 1100, I hasitate. However, the beatiful sound always surround my ear forcing me to the shop time to time. At last, I make my big decision to get it back home if I can get a good price. After I fought with dealer wittily, I finaly got $730 for a new pair, that is really really a good value for money.
Now I have owned RDM2 for two days, every day I enjoy it for over four hours. What else in the world has the magic strengh to fasinate one man? Maybe KEF RDM2 is just the one.
Strengths:
extremely smooth midrange, natural and consonant sound, wide 3D stage, refined and abundant details, highly musical taste ...... and very very stunning looking!
Weaknesses:
no low bass, a little muddy when play symphony climax |
