We were approached by a longstanding music loving client to specify a system that would deliver superb levels of performance from both music and movies. The client was a big lover of KEF Audio Loudspeakers who are also based in Kent and that was to be the the foundation of the system.
Demonstrations then followed at the KEF Audio Factory in Maidstone where the Reference series are manufactured, at the KEF Music Gallery in London and at our demonstration facilities in Cambridgeshire.
We were lucky enough to secure the very last available pair (only three pairs available globally) of the KEF Audio Blade 1 Meta Lotus Edition. These stunning limited edition loudspeakers were matched with the KEF Reference 1 Meta Loudspeakers for immersive audio duties. KEF provided Dolby Atmos height channels from their Custom Install THX range of in-ceiling loudspeakers.
Music sources are from Apple Music, played through an Eversolo DMPA-8 Streamer and Dac then onto the Trinnov Audio Altitude 16 Processor and Amplification. Movies are delivered by Kaleidescape and Apple TV.
This is one mind-blowing system, and a sytem we were very proud to be a part of. After careful audio calibration, the results are simply oustanding and most importantly, the client's goals acheived.
