    I can only presume that the KEF 103's are the same as these ones below . I have had a pair of these for a very long time and as standard passive units they always sounded really musical . Recently however I have been drawn in to Active Speaker construction . As my woodworking and electrical skills are very limited I took a leap of faith and converted my KEF 103 speakers to a digital active crossover pair and they are now driven by a pair of Quad 405 amplifiers (reworked by Fidelle Audio) one per side and frankly the quality of those drive units and the cabinet is spectacular . If you would like to hear what they sound like they will be in my room at Kegworth this year and all comments good and bad are more than welcome .

    They were an expensive monitor. That's one of the greatest bargains I've heard of
