“We are pleased to be offering KEF at Basil Audio.

As well as a warm welcome at Basil Audio’s Los Gatos Showroom to hear KEF today they can expect their skillset to deliver each and every time making KEF and Basil Audio the right choice for the most complete sound whatever the environment.”
For KEF’s founder Raymond Cooke, the approach to producing better loudspeakers was to apply a high level of rigorous engineering in all the key design areas. The initial priority was to develop new drive units with improved performance, and for these he used the latest in synthetic materials such as Melinex, Polystyrene, Bextrene, and Neoprene. Next in importance was the system design – how to combine these drivers with their enclosures and crossover networks in order to create loudspeakers that would push the performance envelope further than had ever been achieved before.
For its part Basil believes that demonstrating such well thought out engineered creations requires meticulous attention to overall system setup, including speaker positioning, electrical connections, mechanical stability, and removing un-driven speakers from the listening room, providing a relaxed and natural environment when auditioning.
