Good Points

I have owned these speakers for 3 years now and still am impressed with the quality of sound for the price. Specifically I am pleased with the mid-tones and the pace and range of sound.

Bad Points

My only reserve is that the bass does not quite keep up with what the warm mid tones and vibrant tweeter. I have tied to compensate for this by adding a reserved Yamaha Subwoofer. The result was a better base tone but the pace has suffered even more.

General Comments

KEF Cresta 2 - All in all, the Cresta 2's are a great buy and in my opinion still hold up 3 years down the line. They work best on good heavy speaker stands about half a meter away from a wall. There is a bass duct at the back of the speaker box which can get a little boomy and create "Sonic lag". But all in all, a highly recommended speaker for the price, and they look quite good too.
