I purchased my British manufactured KEF Blade 2’s brand new from an authorized KEF dealer. I believe these were the first Piano black pair into the U.S. (January 2015). The speakers are in mint condition physically and sonically. Serial numbers are 1014L & R.
The Stereophile review is at http://www.stereophile.com/content/kef-blade-two-loudspeaker#hwLggcZbo0AQ4ffy.97. The speakers come with the instruction manual, box with the spikes and original shipping boxes. PayPal fees to be shared equally (1.5% each). Shipping and insurance costs are the buyer’s responsibility. The speakers will be packed in their original shipping boxes (62” x 24” x 18”, 101lb each box) for pick-up at my home.
