Hey everyone - I'm having some trouble getting my new setup going, and I would love some guidance. I have a set of KEF Reference Model 1s and a Pioneer SX-950 that I'm trying to hook up using 12 gauge Monoprice wire. The issues I have are two-fold. 1. The KEFs have 4 ports - 2 for HF and 2 for...

Hello everyone! ive just managed to land myself a pair of 104/2 for a good price but in need of some tlc. in particular the mid drivers coating is peeling / delaminating. from some googling and reading this is a pva type of coating i believe? ive seen speaker repair sites selling bottles of...

I’d love to get your thoughts and recommendations as I am working on putting together a new system basically from scratch. A little info for you. I have been around music for a long time working with a number of bands and concert venues. I have always gravitated towards a warmer sound (I...

Happy holidays, all. I'm having some trouble with one of my recently acquired KEF 104/2 speakers. Specifically, a distinctly "muffled" sound from speaker B. First, some back story. I've been using a junky pair of JVC speakers (SK-S11's, yikes) that I got at a rummage sale ten years ago, and...

I recently purchased a set of Kef 103.4 speakers one work fine the other was very weak treble. I suspected the ferrofluid was dried but former owner said he swapped mid/nt25 tweeter drivers an the tweeter was fine. O open the back and found someone had butchered the crossover. See photo below. I...

I currently have Mirage m3si for my mains, mcsi for a center, and frx surrounds. I like my current setup but I am very intrigued by the new Kef R series or even the old, now discounted, R series. Has anyone heard the R3 or R300s? Any thoughts on if I should make the plunge into Kef? Would be...

I'm looking for an upgrade over my Pioneer SX-737 to drive my KEF Reference Series 101/2 and I came across a NAD 7060. Can anybody confirm me that it can output enough current to drive my speakers? From the 101/2 specs: Amplifier requirements: 50-150W (into 4 ohms) Thanks in advance! :)

I know this is oranges vs apples, but $1000 Canadian is my budget and these are the two speakers I've had my eyes on. I suppose if I got the kefs, I would probably have to spring for a sub at some point, but that's a worry for another time. My question is, how do they compare in terms of sound...

Both sets came from work {Auction House} in the last few weeks. Both work well with tubes amps I have played them with. The KEF needs more power and they are 4 ohm rated but still played well connected to my HH Scott 299-C amp 4 ohm tap. On a few CDs I played I had to turn Vol. up to about 2:00...

My amp is cutting on high volume! Let's say we watch a movie, when the sound goes higher, it cuts out. Can these be paired together? Are those speakers too demanding for my amp? Or maybe my amp needs to be serviced or cleaned?

Looking for the best cloth to use to fabricate my speaker grill. I bought a pair of KEF 101.2 speakers at a local thrift store but grills were missing. I found one online and I had the frame rendered then printed with a 3D printer. Now I have both frame but I'm looking for the best speaker...

Hey all, recently I went to a Kef showroom and had them set up the Kef LS50 speakers. Midway through a song, there was the sound of plastic flapping coming from the speaker and when I looked at the speaker, the outermost part of the driver was vibrating a lot. Is this normal? Anyone experienced...

Hi All - new to AK. Just acquired a nice pair of KEF Reference Series 105's and need a replacement tweeter. Any help would be greatly appreciated - none currently on EBay.

Hello everyone. I had the opportunity to buy a pair of 105.2, SP1118 S/N 1921A and 1921B. The seller mentioned that the voice quality is not good and I figured the issue was with the old caps, so I ordered a new set from Falcon Acoustics and replaced them even prior to connecting them to my...

Ok this has got me stumped. White and black? No multimeter at hand. Anyone know ehich one is positive and negative to the woofer / tweeter?

Picked a pair of these up locally for a fairly low price. Single speaker terminal versions, I believe the cabinets have been painted black by a previous owner, one tweeter is in place, one is likely missing (dome isn't present), dust caps are pushed in on three of the four mid drivers, one of...

Hi all, I have a pair of KEF R107s, and luckily, 2 Kube equalizers. One with captive RCAs, and another with RCA jacks. On the Kube with RCA jacks, the right channel jack(s) appear to have a loose connection. The channel drops out randomly and can be brought back by fiddling with the connection...

Hello AK folks, I decided to start a new thread to track my power supply build. Last week I bought a nice pair of 107's with the Kube, hoods, and a homebrew power supply unit. While this unit does work, the transformer he used is very noisy. I would like to take our collected wisdom to build a...

How to open up a KEF Home Theatre loudspeaker 3225 One day one my Home Theatre loudspeakers the KEF 3225 quit working. As I turned the unit over it briefly worked again, so I assumed a bad connection somewhere within the unit. But … how to open it up, on order to fix it? A friend of mine...

Hi all, I've been doing a lot of reading on here but this is my first post. I'm due for a speaker upgrade and I'm struggling to make a call on which direction to head. It's going in a wide living room 8m (26.6t) wide/left-right and 4m (13.3ft) from back wall where the couch is to the wall...

So I found a pair of KEF c45's on craigslist for $40. There are in decent shape with some small cosmetic blemishes. Turns out the guy had stands for them as well and while I was there he showed me a pair of near mint Bozak LS 250's. I bought those for $60. What are people's thoughts on these two...
