Kef has a reputation to uphold with its state-of-the-art products. It’s a reputation that’s well and truly maintained with the Reference 207/2, the company’s more-or-less flagship loudspeaker.

Kef has the dramatic Muon transducer at the very apex of its range, but that speaker should be compared to the likes of a McLaren supercar. With its beautifully made wooden box containing superb chrome plated spikes, and the imposing size and masterful build quality, the 207/2s can be considered Kef’s luxury production model.

Each 207/2 weighs an impressive 66kg and employs five drivers: two 250mm bass, one 250mm mid-bass, and the pod-mounted 165mm midrange Uni-Q driver with integral 25mm titanium dome tweeter.

Kef has spared no expense making the 207/2. Each circuit board used in the crossover is physically decoupled to reduce cabinet vibration, while the drivers themselves are also individually loaded and decoupled from each massive enclosure. A tri-wireable four-way design, the 207/2 also features Faraday rings on each main driver to further reduce stray magnetic fields from the voice coil.

Apart from reducing harmonic distortion, each ring serves to increase the dissipation of heat while listening at high volume.
