Brisbane Hifi Inducted into KEF Elite Dealer Program

In just their second appointment outside of the USA, KEF has announced one of Queensland's premier specialist stores, Brisbane Hifi, has been inducted into its KEF Elite Dealer Program. 

Brisbane Hifi says it has been strong supporters of the KEF brand not only in Queensland but in Australia, since 2011. Commencing the KEF relationship quite humbly with the Q and R Series, they have since grown to a full-fledged KEF representative, supporting the renowned LS50 Wireless and the flagship Blade 2. 

International representatives of KEF visited Brisbane Hifi in 2019 to put the final touches on the store in preparation for this anointment, and now "wholeheartedly welcome Brisbane Hifi into this Elite program."

Brisbane Hifi joins Melbourne Hifi as the only two KEF Elite dealers outside of the USA. Lawrence Chu, General Manager of KEF APMEA, added:

I'm delighted that Brisbane Hifi has joined the KEF Elite dealer program. The team there demonstrate a dedication to KEF that we can all be proud of, and I'm very excited that Brisbane Hifi and Melbourne Hifi will set the example for all future KEF Elite dealers throughout Asia Pacific.

Aiden Toh, Manager of Brisbane Hifi and a bonafide KEF fan himself, told StereoNET:

My first hifi purchase after moving to Brisbane from Sydney was a pair of KEF LS50 in black/copper finish that I had purchased from the store owner, Tristan. Since then, I have managed to add five more KEF LS50s to my collection as part of an identical 7.1 speaker system for multichannel music and movie system. I also count myself immensely fortunate to be able to listen to KEF's latest Reference and Blade speakers every day at work. KEF doesn't just sparkle in the high-end space. Every time I sit in front of the LSX, I can't help but marvel at the sense of familiarity that carries across the entire range of KEF products - beautifully crafted speakers that reproduce an organic, life-like and natural sound.

With some very exciting upcoming announcements from KEF imminent, the KEF team told us they're looking forward to visiting Australian KEF Elite dealers when travel restrictions are lifted.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
