Very nice! I love my 104/2s. They're a very easy speaker to listen to. And you have to love the cosmetics, they look ready to jam!
I'm in the middle of restoring mine, so if you need any pointers feel free to ask.
Enjoy! Oh and of course, I'd like to see some pics :yes:
hooked them up and listened to some music from my phone piped through the TRM-1200. all i can say is WOW. these are the speakers i have been waiting for. the low end is incredibly strong without being boomy. so controlled. and the mid/high end is fatigue-free yet crisp. what an amazing balance!
all this and the woofer donuts are failing and they probably need a recap.
i hadn't before experienced speakers that sound perfect to my ears from the first fews seconds of listening.
the cabinets need a little work, but really not much. Some scratches, some deeper than others. The grill cloth is shot with a hole on one side, but that's an easy fix. and the wire terminals are these big hefty brass knobs that don't look original, but they function well.
also they have all 8 feet!
no water damage.
and so far the tweeters sound very good. no ferrofluid issues???
bringing them upstairs tomorrow to try them on the DBX (and maybe A/B them against the C40s to see if there are any similar family traits). pictures then...
That's great to hear. Yours are the single wire version I'm assuming?
...all i can say is WOW. these are the speakers i have been waiting for...
What does single wire version mean?
I saw a pair of those in all black in a thrift store in Atlanta yesterday. They were asking about $150 for them though...
I saw a pair of those in all black in a thrift store in Atlanta yesterday. They were asking about $150 for them though. I don't know if they work or not as I didn't have time to test them nor the space for them in my car.
stop posting here and go get those.
Offer $100 (like i did) and walk out with a sh_t eating grin.
I went and got the pair today. I'd like to thank GeekFX for the hookup. Hopefully he will get some awesome speaker karma in return. I'm not sure if the midranges are still good they don't seem to have much travel but I know that's common for kef drivers.
It means they don't have the Bi-Amp/Bi-Wire capability... i.e.; no seperate binding posts for the bass and mid/tweets.
I believe those are refered to as the "Raymond Cooke Series".
