KEF now a £1000 option!

[MiamiBlue]

The (in my opinion) poor KEF system is now a £1000 option!

this is starting to make the FE look like a bargain.

I like the KEF system mainly for the grills. It's pretty.

Whats the grille look like for the non KEF

 

[gcmak]

Do we even know if the non-KEF system sounds worse (subjectively/objectively)?
I sort of don't need the booming sound of the seat belt chime at start up that we currently have going on! (yes I know I can belt up before starting lol)

90's CD Boom Box Speaker Mesh, looks just like the mesh for the A-pilar tweeter location that's empty on the FE cars.

I'd be really surprised if it sounded better than the KEF system. We know it's less powerful, has fewer speaker drivers, and I have no idea what the subwoofer design is - it looks almost as if its just one of the rear speakers, but this is just a guess with a 11.2% confidence.

https://www.hifix.co.uk/product/kef-ls50-meta-speakers/ £1199 for a pair of very similar KEF drivers in boxes (and the Emira has 3... plus the two rears and the subwoofer)

KEF Audio is a $2,850 AUD option down under. (Actually over $3,200 once taxes are added).

IMO the Kef in my FE is one of the worst stereo systems I've heard -- my 1/2 price Jeep wrangler from 2019 is sadly much, much better.

I agree… luckily the engine sound more than makes up for it

Could use some more bass, but I just turned the treble down a notch or two, and I'm with you.. Although, it does sort of need to be up to about half to sound "good". Low volume leaves me feeling like its lacking..

There are a number of systems that sound significantly worse than the KEF.

Yea, I also think it's a good system. The bass can be improved, that's about it. 80 percent of the time, however, I have the system off because I like how the car sounds. I have been commuting with my car recently and on the highways, listening to the KEF system has been pretty enjoyable.
