I know this site is 2 years old but just saw it. I have alot of experience with 103.2's as I sold alot of the new and continue to own a pair.
A couple of things you need to know.
1. Kef made all of their own drivers. No outsourcing at that time.
2. The Cube mentioned was for a later version of the 103's. The 103.2 did not come with or had as an option, a bass cube.
3. If your 103.2's start sounding dull or lifeless the crossover needs to be recapped. Very common problem as speakers were from 1979-1981. Be sure to use good caps with proper value. There are a number of vendors to use. If you can solder, you can do it yourself.
4. Speakers sound best off the floor at least 12-15" and you might consider tilting them back to get proper sweet spot.
5. The 103.2's used 2 different speaker cable terminals depending on when they were made. They used push pin terminals for a short time (very cheesy quality that does not allow thicker cables nor are they able to secure cable properly for a good connection. Most 103.2's however used threaded terminals that allow better cable, spade terminal if spade wide enough, and banana plug ends as well.
6. They were mostly available in walnut with teak and rosewood as options througout their time.
7. If speakers are kept out of extreme heat and direct sunshine the drivers, because of the butyl surround should last for many, many years.
Hope this helps. They were great speakers in their day and if given quality power, still sound great today!
