Ok you can all laugh now [emoji23]
Anyone that knows me will know how much I miss my 105.4’s so when these 105’s popped up I grabbed them thinking that the only difference was the woofer/woofers WRONG!! These are quite a bit bigger [emoji35] so they don’t fit ( no way ) and there is the little fact that the wife has stormed out [emoji2960].
So I’m moving them on and thought I’d offer them on here first in case someone was thinking of buying them too.
They sound bloody fantastic.
Only problem is a wonky castor which I’ll fix .
I paid the asking price which was £400 plus fuel ( but that’s my loss)
Not great photos as one is currently upside down having its castor repaired.
Pm if interested
Collection only or I would meet not too far away for cost of fuel and a coffee.

I would be very loathe to get rid of speakers I loved so much, if you sold the others they may be less imposing when placed in their position.

I remember reading the specs in the 80s, +/- 2dB across the range I seem to recall.

That’s just it , even with the Jamo’s moved out the KEF’s are too wide

To put these into context imo , the Jamo’s are absolutely fantastic, the kefs are just a dream to hear .

Superb speakers, one of my all-time favourites. Need a very good amplifier though, like all the high-end KEFs they will show up tat for what it is. £400 is just giving them away.

I agree, the price is criminal and they sound sublime with my Krell pumping lots of watts up em .

You got rid of the wife and it only cost you £400 WOW lucky man :) ,

The little positioning light gadget doesn’t seem to work, I know that these were often bypassed.

These must be the ones from Greenford? I was after these but I couldn't get them until I sold and moved on my Airedales. They're on ebay now, 7 day auction ending tonight. Wanted a pair of 105s for years.

It all came flooding back... I had the same reaction after installing a pair in my man cave.

How did you decide to keep the Jamos as opposed to keeping the Kefs?

The kefs simply don’t fit, everyone underestimates the Jamo’s as did I , Klipsch new what they were doing when they developed them .
