Overview
BLADE is the result of KEF's best and brightest engineers being given free rein to create the ultimate loudspeaker without design or cost limitations. The BLADE concept took years to come to fruition but resulted in a loudspeaker that looks and sounds like no other, the next challenge was to turn it into a product that music lovers could own and enjoy.
BLADE was so successful and received so many prestigious awards that KEF developed a second version: BLADE TWO. This has the same iconic design and technology in a scaled down cabinet that can be accommodated in smaller rooms. It has the same DNA, same unique single apparent source configuration and most importantly, the same phenomenally realistic sound.

# Kef Blade 2 – Buyer Notes
The Kef Blade 2 is a premium floorstanding speaker that commands strong residual value on the used market. Based on comparable recent listings, the median asking price sits around AUD $22,015, with the market range spanning AUD $20,408 to AUD $30,917. At AUD $18,800, this listing is positioned below the median—a genuinely attractive entry point if condition and functionality check out. This pricing suggests either motivated selling or potential wear that warrants closer inspection before committing.
Before proceeding, verify the speaker's physical condition carefully: check for any driver damage, tweeter issues (common wear points on high-end Kefs), and confirm both units are sonically balanced and free from distortion across the frequency range. Confirm all original components are present—spikes, binding posts, and internal bracing should be intact. Request proof of the speaker's age and service history; these are built to last, but knowing whether they've been kept in a stable environment matters for longevity. Also clarify what accessories ship with the purchase and whether any warranty or return period applies.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
KEF traces its roots to 1961, when British engineer Raymond Cooke founded the company in a modest Nissen hut on the grounds of the Kent Engineering and Foundry in Maidstone, England. A former BBC engineer and Wharfedale veteran, Cooke was driven by a passion for music and a commitment to technological innovation, aiming to reproduce sound as faithfully as the original performance. From its inception, KEF pioneered materials like foil-stiffened polystyrene diaphragms and Melinex tweeters in its debut K1 loudspeaker, setting a benchmark for engineering precision that propelled the brand to early acclaim.
KEF has long specialized in loudspeakers, establishing itself as a leader with iconic innovations such as the Uni-Q coaxial driver and computer-aided design techniques that revolutionized driver and enclosure development. While drive units supplied to other manufacturers fueled its growth, the brand's core output remains high-fidelity speakers across categories like floorstanders, bookshelves, and home theater systems, including early THX-approved setups. Active wireless models and reference-grade series extend its portfolio, though it eschews amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Renowned for its science-driven heritage, KEF occupies a premium position in the hi-fi market, blending accessible high-end performance with cutting-edge technology. Collectors prize vintage BBC monitors and Bextrene-driver classics, while modern buyers seek its precise, natural soundstaging. Decades of awards affirm KEF's status as a respected innovator, appealing to discerning audiophiles who value engineering over hype.
