Frank Harvey Hi-Fi FORUM
www.peoplesrepublicofhifi.co.uk (PRoHiFi)
Forums tend to be a place of valuable information for many people, and we felt that our customers, and our customers-to-be could do with a friendly forum where they can ask any questions they need answered, as well as join in day to day discussions about anything and everything. As well as sections for hi-fi and audio/visual, there is a trading section where you can sell your old equipment and post wants, read about upcoming shows and events, new products, as well as discussing movies and music. There’s even a section for your very own blog, where you can tell us what you’re doing, what your listening to, or just tell everyone about your day if you so wish. So pop over to www.peoplesrepublicofhifi.co.uk and sign up, say hello, and join in!
All the staff are signed up to the forum, the only thing missing, is you.

KEF Blade – on demo
The Cutting Edge….
At the Munich High End show in 2009, KEF Audio showcased a concept speaker, the Concept Blade, a no-holds-barred exercise to show KEF’s technological abilities. The project took three years of extensive design and testing, and was highly acclaimed at the German show. KEF felt the Concept Blade was too good to keep from it’s many fans, and two years later, at the 2011 Munich show, unveiled the Blade – an attainable version, which KEF claim actually improve in certain areas over the original concept. This radical, ‘single apparent source’ loudspeaker marks KEF’s 50th anniversary.
More details on the Blade loudspeaker can be viewed at our forum here.
