KEF 105's

[keflover615]

Well now that I know how to pronounce KEF and am reminded of my younger years smoking a banned substance I am ready to hook up the KEF 105's. Been real busy this week and wanted to move some furniture etc. I will let you all know how they sound. They should sound just as good as the pair I had 30 years ago, but my ears have aged and who knows. Oh for the good old days, I hope I never see them again.

Good score, congrats!

speakers that I liked years ago sound like ass to me now...JBL, Altecs etc. Years of military duty have diminished my hearing a little

as for the "good old days" - totally agree with you on that one!

Wellllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!
Hooked them up, played Carmina Burana, we have hard wood floors, and the floors vibrated and yet the highs were crystal clear. I forgot how good they sounded, besides which, I now have a room big enough for them. One work will suffice: WOW

Great speakers! The KEF factory is local to me and have had lots of Kef speakers and drivers over the years. Never had 105's but they have always interested me, love the look:yes:

One of my all time favourite speakers, side by side with the original B&W 801´s and Quad ELS 63´s.

What are you driving them with?

Quite possibly my favorite speaker of all. Congrats! Glad they still sound good to you.

I am using a Sansui AU-717 right now, I have a Sansui BC-2000 that needs work, left channel dropped out, I will use it when I can find someone to get it fixed.

Does anyone have the owners manual for KEF 105's?

 

[Tedrick]

Those look great!

The 105's are squarely fixed on my top 10 list.

I downloaded one a few years ago when I bought mine. I'll see if I can locate it and post later.

Now that would be excellent.

Quite possibly my favorite speaker of all. I just updated my post on the 105.2 yesterday and added a link to the KEF speaker forum. Congrats! Glad they still sound good to you.

A link to the "front door" might be more useful for the full resource.

Will these do?

Part 2.

 

[keflover615]

These are for the 105-2 speakers, don't know if it the same for the 105.
BTW just sold my Large Advents for $200, already made back half of my KEF investment.

Thanks! That saved me a bunch of time to locate!

I have the original 105 literature somewhere at home. I will try to locate and post some scans asap.

That would be particularly excellent. :thmbsp:
