    KEF 103.2 Recap Question

    Hello Guys, I'm about to undertake recapping a set of KEF 103.2's for a good friend of mine. I'm hopeful that you guys can shed a little light in the corners of this project so to speak, as it seems info is pretty scarce on the web. Firstly, the resistor in R9 in badly corroded, it should be...

    Rotel RB981 speaker impedance handling 2 ohm?

    Dear friends, I recently acquired a subwoofer to compliment my Kef 103.2 speakers. It's a Canton Plus C from the late 1980's and though nominaly rated at 4 ohm, the guy at Canton tells me it's 4 ohm with the satellite speakers connected, and only 2 ohm as a sub alone! I don't have the satellites...

    Kef 103.2- Where's the bass?

    Dear Friends, My Kef 103.2 speakers sound good but I am underwhelmed by their limited bass response to the point where I guess something must be wrong. Bass needs to be turned up to 4 or 5 o-clock on the preamp dial to get anywhere near a balanced sound, even though both drivers are moving...

    Best power amp for under $250 used?

    Top choices, vintage or otherwise, excelling at low volume clarity and soundstage and able to drive current demanding relatively inefficient speakers (Kef 103.2 Reference, 8 ohm, 86 dB/1m). 60 watts and above preferred. Am planning to use a recapped Marantz 2230 as a pre. Class A? Mosfet? Thanks...

    Kef 103.2 match with Quad 405?

    Dear All, I have a pair of Kef 103.2 speakers that I love dearly but looking for a bit more quality power to drive them more fully. Currently I have a Marantz 2230 that sounds quite good but a little thin and somewhat weak. Budget for a power amp (fed by the 2230 pre) is limited and I'm looking...

    Kef 103.2 blown driver?

    Hi all, recently purchased a pair of these in good condition. Yesterday had a couple of protection drop outs on one channel while playing quiet music. Now the bass cone is rubbing / scratching which is audible at low levels. The other speaker is free to move in and out with no scratching. Please...

    Kef 103.2 recommended for Marantz 2230?

    Hello... I have recently purchased a recapped Marantz 2230 and it sounds good and clear through my ScanDyna A25x (4 ohm 88dB circa 1970 speakers very similar to Dynaco A25x). However, there's not an awful lot of power or bass, even though the volume is sufficient for our needs. I have lusted...
