Inside the system

Two Technics 1200-series decks feed an ARS MODEL9900 rotary mixer. The main speakers are sealed GR-Research X-CS Encores, each using two M-165 woofers around a central tweeter. The design is rated at 90 dB sensitivity with a nominal 8 Ω impedance. A Sansui BA-2000 provides amplification, with Threshold 400A and S/150 amplifiers also in the collection and rotation. One KEF KC62 and two KC92 subwoofers support the sealed mains, while miniDSP processing addresses troublesome room frequencies. A kick-sub position sits behind the bar, although its model assignment is unspecified. With several bass sources in a compact room, their placement, level and timing are central to integration with the main speakers.

Inside the system

The Ultimate Experience Room demonstrates KEF MUON loudspeakers alongside Ci-Reference architectural models. Other rooms explore different conditions: the Living Room uses a domestic setting, while the Studio takes acoustic inspiration from KEF’s Maidstone anechoic chamber. These are separate demonstration environments rather than one connected system.

Inside the system

Three speaker pairs serve different areas: KEF R3s at the front listening line, JBL L82s at the bar and KEF LS50s at the rear. NAD C-3050 and Parasound amplification support the installation, with a Pro-Ject EVO and Sumiko cartridge for vinyl playback and an Ecler WARM2 rotary mixer for selectors. The layout distributes the programme across several positions with separate pairs for the front, bar and rear. Curtains and upholstery form part of the room finish, linking the coverage plan with the listening environment.

Inside the system

Tannoy Westminster speakers and Prestige GR supertweeters are supported by two KEF KC92 subwoofers. The inventory includes McIntosh valve and solid-state electronics, plus ML1 Mk II speakers. Vinyl playback uses an SME 20/2, Series V arm and Ortofon Cadenza Bronze. Westminster revision and routing between components are unspecified.
