    Need help troubleshooting some issues

    Hi all, I need to talk this out with someone. Moved into a new house and finally get to open up the system and I'm having issues. I've mostly used the SL-230 in our old house, but since I moved, I have them both going. My old listening room was significantly smaller, so I never really noticed...

    Question about amp & speaker ohms

    Hi all, Proud new owner of a very clean pair of KEF 104/2 speakers. Question for the tech experts....so these speakers are 4 ohm and I have two vintage 8 ohm amps/receivers. 1st is a Luxman R-1050 and the second is an Onkyo TX6500 mkii.

    KEF 104/2 Speakers - tips

    Some useful tips to Kef 104/2 Ref Series speaker owners. Use as much power as you can. I have two systems running the rosewood finish bi-amp version of these speakers. One has large heavy mono blocks (can't recall specs) and the other has Parasound A21 (400 watts RMS x 2, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 4 Ω)...

    KEF 104/2 Mystery - Troubleshooting Suggestions

    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...

    Kef 104/2 refurb or part out?

    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...

    Just what I needed.....another pair of speakers in the house.

    Much to my wife's chagrin..... My wife is very understanding of my hobby. So much so that I sometimes ponder about how lucky I really am. I already have too much stuff. Lucky for us, we have a huge house, and the kids are grown and gone, so their rooms can be used for storage of my acquired...

    Paying too much for Kef 104/2?

    Hey guys, I'm kinda new in the speaker scene. Happened across a pair of kef 104/2 for $500 CAD. I tried to negotiate, but he is not willing to go down on the price. Now, to me that seems like a ridiculous price for 30 year old speakers. My brain says no, but my heart says yes. The owner says the...
