Right. Look at all that silver and the cabinet finish.
Will tempt just about anyone.

I agree, however can you provide names of any of the dealers/distributors of these products who has a demo model that they can provide for a review. In my experience there are very few D&D's in India who can provide any equipment let alone affordable ones for reviews/demos. They just don't simply stock them.
It was our goal when we started Hifitoday.com, to try and review equipment at the 2 lac and below level, but it has been very difficult to get equipment limited to this level. I have been in touch with over 20 D&D's but have not been very successful. Anyways we will strive to get more affordable equipment, but we will also, on ocassion, review the higher priced products as well. Regarding the pricing of products relative to market of origin or US etc., I will not debate, ultimately it is the prerogative of the D&D and the buyer who will decide if it is for him or not.

pricing is the prerogative of the distributor - there are no 2 ways about it.
If the distri feels they have a market at Rs 8.5 lac ( as an example ) - then who are we to say anything ?
The point that was being made was that the audience for hifitoday may not belong to the 8.5 lac per pair of speaker category.
Atleast we seem to be having a conversation on it.
regards
so because the market is predominantly say 1-2 lakh range, shall we avoid anything in the 5- 10 lac range. just like car magazines, since alto or whichever maruti is the bestseller they should avoid all the luxury brands at 50l and above. or any field for that matter. you dont think any readers are curious what lies at the higher ranges? and what about trickle down. sales of the reference series will subsidize say the ls50, so would we not want to explore and understand how that expensive tech. sounds?

Yes on occasion we will review some quite expensive models but that will not be the rule, only an exception.

Youtube can never give a proper perspective of what the sound is really like. The mic will screw up the sound as will the subsequent digital compression and unknown electronics in between.
BUT it's nice watching these videos sometimes ,often to see the other equipment around etc.
To the guys at HFT, keep it coming. It is difficult for you guys to get distributors to agree for a review; there is always fear of negative commentary and legalese.

@Sidvee great review of the Kei Reference, yours was the only good one i could find on the internet
I am in the market for one, but i am also looking out of the Andrew Jones designed ELAC Adantes, which haven't been launched yet.
I am looking to do a A/B compare before pulling the trigger.
The amp will be a Peachtree Nova300
