I am clearing out my Audio Vault of priceless gems from my life of Audio Bliss. Here is wonderful example of Reference Quality musical equipment from a dedicated British Audiophile manufacturer, Kent Engineering Factory, KEF. The Reference level of KEF speakers were made for recording studio use, where exacting musical precision is essential! However, in this version you gain exquisite real wood cabinetry that is a work of art in itself! Please observe the pictures of these speakers. These speakers were essentially Hand Made by audio experts to work as a Matched Pair. The individual speaker elements were hand picked and tested to be a perfect match for each other. In addition to very rigid cabinet bracing, the woofer is further braced with a metal rod connected to the Back of the cabinet for Rock Solid, Tight, Clear Bass Response, not available in speakers costing much more, without this meticulous engineering, design, and manufacture! If you look at the photo of the label on the back of the cabinet, you will notice a hex screw in the center of the label; this is where the woofer-rod screws into the back of the cabinet. Simply put, you hear the music, not the speaker. You will notice a wide soundstage to the musical image, with exacting placement of instruments and voices within the space occupied in the studio, as the the audio technician and the musicians heard it! Further, you will notice that the real wood Tiger Eye veneers have been meticulously hand matched to continue the theme of a Mated Pair of identical music presentation. The Reference series originally came with an equalization KUBE. I do not offer the KUBE with these speakers. It was not as durable as these speakers, and I very often played them without the KUBE, preferring a drier, more accurate, less lush presentation. I still have the KUBE. It fades in and out and shuts off intermittently. If you wish, I will include it, but I absolutely make NO guarantee that it will work for you! If you are buying these speakers on the premise that you will gain a perfectly working KUBE, please do not bid, I am selling these speakers on their own merits, without the KUBE! I am certain you will treasure the sounds that you will hear, and probably have never yet heard from your music, through these special speakers! I do not listen to these speakers with their grilles on, as I can notice a slight constriction of the sound with them on. I will, however include the grilles. not pictured. Please check my feedback. I go to great lengths to insure that my equipment reaches the buyer in the condition I enjoyed it.I love the music these speakers reveal. I simply have too much stuff! This is a rare opportunity to own a unique pair of exceptionally beautiful speakers with pure musicality! I have never seen any of this particular tiger eye cabinet for sale on eBay. You probably will never see their like again! Enjoy and Savor the MUSIC!
