FS: KEF Reference 103

[hughandella]

Nice pair of 103's for sale --- in decent condition given age, there is a 'dink' on one of the edges (at the back ) the photo was taken when I first discovered it so looks at it's worst ... not really noticeable.
I have removed the wadding from inside (an initial modification recommended elsewhere ) -- it opens the speakers right up and gives them a more 'modern' sound to my ears if that make sense, it may come at a little loss of control but to my ears an overall improvement --- I have kept the foam wadding if you want to put it back in ....... from other's comments it seems likely these have been recapped --- overall a nice pair of speakers for little money --- they are v heavy for their size and ofcourse were part of the reference range so quality not skimped on ......

Have a bump for a pair of wonderful speakers, got a pair cheap and am staggered how good they are, mine are in a worse state but def wouldn't part with them.

[Barry]

Yes - a very reasonable price indeed for such a good speaker in such good condition. Good luck with the sale.

Just so others know, you can turn the front plate 90 degrees and use them upright.

Hi Chris

Sent you a PM. Let me know if you didn't recieve it as it's not showing in my sent folder for some reason.

Cheers

They're heavy ( man ) mainly due to the metal baffle.
A friend owned a pair in the '70s and I liked them.
Not sure about removing the filling though...
