A mate of mine bought the Titan 505 standmounts last year - I know speakers are notoriously influenced by partnering equipment/room acoustics/EQ calibrations, but I have to say they are probably the best speakers I've ever heard.If I ever flog my tribe towers I'm buying kudos titans. I've had them in my house and although they were a bit big, the smaller ones would be excellent.
I feel guilty for buying something from out of the UK, next time I'm going British.
Trust me - if he gets divorced they will suddenly, miraculously, belong to the Spouse & not him!But seeing as they're £8500, I'm hoping that either I have a lottery win or he gets divorced and has to flog 'em quickly
Yep.Says a man with bitter experience
Great review Ed - although it's a tad worrying that three and a half grand is now seen as the ballpark price for a half decent bookshelf/standmount nowadays.
I appreciate it's a while back since the Special Forty came out so comparisons may be difficult, but I'd be interested to see how this compares, given that Ed reviewed both.
Yes indeed. Both in my room for the same week would be interesting.
I think you may have inadvertently answered your own question there my friend - they are so good for the price they don't have to as they disappear as soon as stockists receive them.Hmm. I've never seen the 40s openly discounted.

I've got a pair and for me they're endgame speakers.
Or at least until my mate gets his decree absolute.
I’m not sure the Kudos are discounted as such. More that the cherry finish is no more.
Still near enough a third discount at its price point , is hefty.
