Inexpensive Amp for KEF 107s?
I posted earlier about my (mom's) Nakamichi PA-7 woes. We are looking at getting it repaired. In the meanwhile, I'm interested in hearing of some amps that could adequately power the KEF 107 speakers (which the PA-7 has powered for the past 25 years). Budget is no more than $500.
As always, your suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

The 107 KUBE is not a sub. It's an active equalizer KEF designed instead of a passive R/C network for crossover transitions. According to the KEF manual, it's required for accurate sound. The 107 KUBE also permits tweeking of HF and LF response, but this can be bypassed. I use 107/2 and 102 KUBEs with Jensen transformers to convert from balanced to unbalanced to go through the KUBEs. I bypass the tweeks. db |
Ah, it looks like this is the kube then: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RYbR3kTlEQ0/TV3NQ46xDnI/AAAAAAAAATg/-IoYXjc3Fg8/s1600/KEF+KUBE+107+Universal+Bass+Equalizer+for+KEF+107+Reference+Speakers+.jpg Yes, we have one of those. |
(My initial search for kef kube returned this, which says kef kube subwoofer: http://www.shopmania.com/multimedia-speakers/p-kef-kube-2-250-watt-powered-subwoofer-30979186) |
