    KEF Coda 70 (2001) Info

    My brother has had these speakers since new. He reported issues with them - that turned out to be related to his amp - giving me an excuse to dig into them. To my surprise I couldn't find ANY technical / repair / reference info about them online. HiFi Engine does have the promotional...

    Hello from BC

    I recently inherited a pair of KEF Reference Series 107s (and an Adcom GFA-555). Aside from the sentimental value they hold, I understand the R107s are quite special speakers. I know next to nothing about Hifi, but am thinking I could get into it. Hoping to get some useful information on this...

    The joys of system set-up!

    The renovations are done, and now it is time to empty the storage container. I would like to empty it quickly so I could set up my main system, but my wife has different ideas. So in the meantime, I had been using gear that I planned to sell. However, some of it is selling, and that is giving...

    Speaker Cutting In/Out and Volume Increases

    Hi all, I disassembled the head module on one of my KEF 105.2 speakers to try and replace an LED that glows at various wattage readings and helps you position the speakers. I decided I'll try to clean the connections (there's a small PCB in there) instead. Used Deoxit F5 and D5; sprayed visible...

    New Initial Setup - Speaker Question

    Hey everyone, new user here. I’ve been lurking and reading for a bit and I’m finally taking an initial leap into a set-up, but trying to do it on a budget. So, my medium term goal here is the following: - Fluance record player (have it) - Tube Amp - Streamer (I’ve got my eye on the new Node) -...

I can get a Mirage OM-C2 that matches for $350 Cdn but was curious if I might find a contemporary neutral floorstander/bookshelf that could do a better job. I'm considering a Kef...

    Kef Shoot Out: 107 vs 107/2

    I'm thinking of buying a pair of Kef 107s. In my searches, I see 107 and 107/2s. I thought, why don't I do something novel and find out which is best before I buy the speakers instead of afterwards? Hence, this thread. First let me give you some back ground. It seems I like large speakers...

    Restoring B200 SP1014

    Hi friendly audio people, I'm here to get some advice on restoring a pair of B200 SP1014 speakers. They come from Heathkit AS-9560 cabinets built by my grandfather back in '72, so something of an heirloom. The sound is mostly fine but I decided to give both the amp-tuner and the speakers a...

    KEF 104/2 Speakers. What sort of amplifier?

    Pioneer SX-1080 + KEF 107s - bad idea?

    Any thoughts on is this a bad speaker / receiver pairing? I've seen mixed feedback but it seems most would say the KEFs are super power hungry and ideally would be used in a separates setup with a power amp pushing 300 w/ch. I've currently got my 1080 pushing Bose 901s (also extremely power...

I've owned a lot of speakers over the past 4 decades, small bookshelf models up to fairly large floor standing units, but these are the best I've ever owned. The KEF Kube is...
