Here are my Kef Caprice II classic loudspeakers.
They have upgraded wiring, new pcb crossover boards (from Falcon Acoustics] and Mundorf Capacitors.
Sound very good indeed.
I don't have the original boxes but have something suitable.
£60 plus £15 P&P

History:
Caprice II (1981-85)
The Caprice II was the logical successor to the Corelli, offering very good performance at the critical mid-price level. It used the same drivers as the Reference Model 103.2 but with a more basic cabinet and crossover. It continued in the line of high performance but affordable bookshelf loudspeakers offering impressive realism from a compact two-way enclosure. The system could be easily located to give good tonal balance and sharp stereo images in generous sized rooms. The new 8in bass driver used the proven bextrene cone for low colouration and also utilised the new technique of driver decoupling – whereby the chassis is screwed into the cabinet via soft rubber mountings to reduce the transmission of chassis vibrations into the cabinet structure. In common with the majority of KEF’s closed box designs at the time the bass response was tuned to a third-order characteristic by the inclusion of extra components into the crossover network.
