Kralk Audio TDB12 or Kef 105.4

[Jac Hawk]

No, I agree with the bit in bold, I'd just worded my comment badly. I said "Kralks with 12" bass" because I couldn't remember the model name.

I visited Mike's house a while ago, and while it's a very nice dedicated listening room, the ceiling is rather low. And Mikes comment about space being a bit tight as far as putting in subs is concerned, suggests the room might be smaller than I remember

It's 12" x 12" but as you said Steve the ceiling is low, i don't know if that makes it feel smaller but it's a good sounding space if that makes sense, things tend to sound tight and precise.

It's all academic now as i've agreed on a pair of speakers that i'll pick up next month, i'll post some picks once i get them

I can't wait until next month to find out! At least tell us what they are.

Probably a better bet. The KEF Reference series from the 1990s were very good too, you sometimes see them pretty cheap (for what they are).

Interesting
Will these need recone of internal basunits?
I've read older 104 etc..run foam woofers internal

Probably but seen them for sale with it already done.

So now i'm the proud owner of a pair of Kralk Audio TDB12 speakers, first impressions are very good indeed, the ability to adjust the MF and HF is a very handy feature and the the overall build is excellent.

i'll post more when i've had a chance to have a good listen......

Very tasty. I thought they were good when I heard them.

What can I say, wow they put a smile on your face and like to be played loud, I mean really loud, the bass control and extension is fantastic, just what I was hoping for and as I've said the mid and high frequency can be adjusted to suite your taste and room, stereo image is precise and the soundstage is big really big and sound seems to come from 4 or 5 feet past the speakers.

Luckily the mid range which my Monitor Audios are so good at is as good on the Kralks and voices sound they are in the room and stand out from the music. As you can see from the photos they are about 7 feet apart, about 6 inches from the wall and toed in slightly which is what the instructions recommend.

Up to now I've played the following :

Bob Marley Legend
David Bowie Legacy
Quincy Jones Back on the Block
Bad Company Bad Company
Fox Fox
Marvin Gaye Trouble Man

They look great Mike, and I look forward to hearing them one day, along with the Primaluna. One other thing - you've had that print on the wall far too long, and I've a nice space for it in my listening room
