IMF Compact II vs. KEF Corelli: Vintage polcsugárzók viadala, avagy öreg ember nem vén ember!

In this episode, I want to gravitate back a bit to the things that motivated me to create this channel more than two years ago. Originally, I was not intended to put my focus on the various Far Eastern HIFI gear, instead to introduce you to the past, present and future of HIFI. Of course, I’m not saying that there won't be more ChiFi product reviews on my channel, but to be honest, it doesn't really motivate me anymore, since I don't think I've been able to discover much difference between these devices, especially in the very cheap categories. Of course, these devices are quite good, especially for their price. The uncrowned king of reviewing cheap Chinese HIFI rigs is Randy from The cheapaudioman channel anyway, so I'd rather leave that to him and just go for the rebound. So considering all this, hopefully, there will be more and more topics in addition to the usual Chinese contingent. For example, in this episode we are going to look at two bookshelf speakers made in the mid-seventies, and although there are a lot of similarities between them, still they could be more different... 0:00 Intro 2:41 IMF: Brief history 4:02 IMF Compact II technical details 6:30 KEF: Brief history 7:51 KEF Corelli technical details 8:46 How does the IMF Compact II sound? 10:15 How does the KEF Corelli sound? 12:28 Which one I'd choose? 13:39 Thank you 14:51 "Bonus" content 17:30 Please support my channel IMF Compact II: https://www.imf-electronics.com/home-...
