Pair of KEF 104/2 high-end audio speakers. Unparralled in performance, equally at ease with movie sound tracks and various music genres. The speaker cabinets are in excellent condition in a rosewood/ walnut finish. The speakers are in excellent shape, with the cone surrounds like new. These reproduce sound that is both pleasing and yet forceful. Willing to ship to US an Canada, but be advised these are heavy (greater than 70lbs each). I also have the KUBE that is included . The KUBE produced deeper bass sounds for the speakers (separately sold originally for over $300). Serious bidders only. The only other listing I found of past sales was for $660 in black walnut and in rosewood from a reseller for $990. These originally sold for almost $4000, and I placed these during my Hollywood business days in celebrity homes (along with inexpensive amps) . They are impressive in any home decor. The photo is of them in my equipment cabinet with the door open. I couldn't take them out for additional photos since I would have to remove all A/V my components and some cabinet parts. Buyer is resposible for shipping costs, and can use their own shipping method/account. Shipping to Chicago (central area) via UPS is approximately $102 for the pair (the PayPal calculator in the shipping info line represents the cost for a single speaker shipped to Cleveland, Ohio area). I'll ship the KUBE separately. Insurance is required and paid by the buyer. Here is a post from another owner: Originally Posted by Sealed [u][b]These speakers belong in an audio hall of fame, they are among the very best speakers made. They have no glaring faults, and the better the front end, the better they sound. Anyone looking for a great investment for around $1k, get a set of 104/2’s. long term owners will gladly corroborate how excellent these speakers were, and still are. Specifications/Info: (from a posting) Description: D’appolito design mid/tweet/mid (MTM) with twin 8” woofers in a coupled chamber. 4th order advanced crossover. Frequency response: 55hz-22khz +/- 2db. In room: about 30hz-22khz. Efficiency: 92 db 1w/1 meter Impedence: 4 ohms Built from 1980’s… about 1987 Dimensions: 35.5” x 11 x 16.4 in 70.5 lbs each. Technology comments. This speaker is a timeless classic of accurate detail, dynamics and musical ability. The reason behind this is that KEF poured tons of money and engineering into it’s products from the 70’s and 80’s. The 103.x,104.x,105.x and 107.x were factory matched within 1db accuracy of factory reference. The box is miter type, excellently braced and very solid. The designers last product for KEF was the 105/4. After that product, KEF went on a downhill spiral. Even the new reference series are not as well engineered as the 10X.X era was. If these speakers were engineered and built like this now, you’d not be able to touch them for under $8k- $12k. Tweeter: they are accurate and flat up to 22khz, matched within 0.5 db of each other. Model: T33 1" Impregnated fabric dome Midranges: in MTM configuration they blend perfectly. Very holographic and detailed. The tweeter and mids are mounted on the front of the speaker in their own separate enclosure. Totally isolated from the woofer. 2 x 5" doped bextrene Woofers: They are chamber loaded (meaning they are not ported, rather two push-pull drivers firing into a chamber that is open to the front. No coloration or noise is induced. The two woofers are coupled via force restoring rod. The bass is fast, tight, and very deep. 2 x 8" paper Crossover: 4th order, built with tight tolerance components mounted on damped legs. This crossover is very complex, and includes baffle step, time and phase adjustments. May work with the Kef Universal Bass Equalizer (KUBE) to optimize bass below 100hz. Not required, but does enhance performance. Note: The handling time is about 2-3 days, not 1, as shown in the shipping calculator. read more
