How to replace a tweeter in a KEF Reference Two?


Anyone out there have any idea how to get at the tweeter in a KEF Reference Two? I have a bad tweeter, at least I know it isn't producing sound - and want to check the wiring before I order a new driver, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get into the cabinet to the driver. The local boys out here won't help, they just want me to bring it in so they can sell me new speakers.
Thanks,
James

If it is one of their Uni-Q arrays you are going to have to either send it to Kef to get the tweeter replaced or replace the tweeter and mid-woofer yourself.

First check to see that it is the tweeter and not the crossover. Buy a cheap tweeter from Radio shack and connect it to the leeds intended for the tweeter.

Then test the tweeter on the Kef by connecting it straight to the amplifier and play it at very low volume levels.

Once you know what parts you need youre in business.

To get advice straight from the horses mouth call Kef and talk to their tech department. Just try to avoid going through a guy named Corey. He is very nice but completly ineffective at his job. (Sorry Corey.)

Good luck!
It looks to me that the front panel may come out revealing the aray attached from the back side. Call Kef and ask a tech.
