A lot can be gleaned, just from those few minutes of video!
This is gonna be a great resource for those of us that care. Haha
I'm not a Beatles fan per se... But I can't personally wait to watch this!
And man it's so good to see them happy, and having fun making a record. God only knows, that's why I got into this damn business to start with.
That put a BIG SMILE on my face to see that. Can't wait to see the film.
Great stuff.

I ordered a pair from my dealer when they were released, about a year or so ago. Never received a word, or a mic?
So I lost interest.

This as a response to the AKM factory fire, and a possible (definite) Apollo shortage this year!
BINGO! You've Won....

The new KEF's do come powered, as well as passive.
Doesn't matter now, Enjoy the new monitors!

Eric, I believe the 25A's have enough for the room they are in! But I agree with you a slightly larger pair SCM35, would be great. Especially if they had the new drivers.
Wilsons in the living room, powered with my 8 watt Cary Signature Single Ended Triode 300B Monoblocks are another league altogether. Unbelievable listening experience.
Haven't heard the Sasha as yet, but will make it point to give them a listen.

KEF's are amazing, and an even better buy in todays crazy market of high end speakers!
Eric, My 6.5 Tannoy's were always driven by either a BIG TANNOY power amp (forgot the model number, they only made for a few years) and or one of my 6 Perraux 6000B Power amps. (of which I still own two!) So definably needed a good amp, as do most small inefficient speakers
But as a side note, I recently moved, and brought the KEF' LS50's with me to the new space... But because of room limitations, I sold my Unity Audio Boulder II's..but still needed something a bit bigger and louder than the KEF's for playback, especially if an artist or band is here with me.
So to that end, I just purchased a pair of ATC SCM 25A's from Brad at Trans Audio. Which by the way, are amazing speakers in their own right. And fit my new little space perfectly. To get to know them, I listened to mixes I did from last few years on the new ATC's and I have to tell ya, I was blown away. The mixes previously done with the LS50's played back on the ATC's ... sounded GREAT!
Which to me proves the worth of those little KEF's Really, really, great little monitors!

I've owned in the past years
2 x Pairs of LGM-12's 1 x Pair of LGM-10's 2 x Pairs of NFM 8's 1 x Pair of SGM Dual 15 inch Main Monitors 1 x Pair of SGM Single 15 inch Main Monitors
and last but not least
4 x Pairs of PBM 6.5's (non coaxial)
Everyone of these were purchased new. And I also had a vintage pair of Tannoy something or other with the lens' I forgotten what they were called.
Wonderful speakers, and as Eric already stated it's a love hate relationship with this company. Very limited in their output, and distortion was a bit annoying, as well as blown drivers etc, etc, etc.
But as you can see I always came back to them. Weird? By the way, All of mine were purchased new!
Now that said, I recently (when they were released 5, 6, 7, years ago??? ) purchased a pair of KEF LS50 Anniversary. And all I can say, is nothing, Tannoy ever made can come close! These are amazing little monitors, and now come in a powered version. I'm using mine with a Mark Levinson 333., but the powered ones are a steal! I believe they run around $1600 give or take. And they have been on the best speaker list in all the audio rags for years!
Try a pair, you will NOT be disappointed.

Hey Bill, Just kept putting stuff in back room, never really knowing how much crap I accumulated.
But to answer your question, I do NOT ship! Anything I feel is always local pickup only.
I'll start posting pics as I take them.

A few of mine... Lots up for sale now that I moved into a much smaller space. Once we counted all the stuff that was in my storage room for 30 years, we found out I actually owned 101 amplifiers! Who knew? Attachments:
