KEF 103/4 loudspeakers; any comments

Hi. I just bought a pair of KEF 103/4 on ebay for $123.00 (plus $90.00 shipping). The foams need to be replaced on the 4 internally mounted 6-1/2" woofers, but otherwise they seem in nice shape. Anyone out there have any experience with these speakers? I didn't have much time to research, as the auction was almost over when I found them. I have a pair of KEF C-95 towers, and I love them. I've always heard that the reference series sounds even better. What do you guys think? Thanks. -KlipschKing

Yes, I think I may be able to re-foam them myself. Midwest Speaker Exchange sells foam kits for these speakers, including the center "doughnut" that mates the "vibration-balancing rod" to the two 6-1/2" drivers. I've had great luck replacing the foam on my old Boston Acoustics A-100 and EPI speakers, so I think it may work well. Thanks for the feedback on these speakers!

Bongofury: You're kidding about the Floyd thing, aren't you?? Yes, I want the Kube 200, just haven't been able to find it yet. I'll keep scouring eBay and Audiogon & I'm sure it will turn up. I've heard the bass response from the Reference Series isn't great without the Kube. How do you hook the blooming thing up? It looks like it only has RCA plugs on the back... Thanks for the info. -KlipschKing

Dbphd: Just sent you an e-mail. Very interested in your Kef 200. I use a Klipsh sub with my Kef C-95 towers, and you're right, the combo is hard to beat. I want to try the 103/4 without a sub, though, as I hear they are incredible with the Kube 200. I don't know how to hook it up; do you still have the instructions? Thanks again. -KlipschKing (I need to change my name to KefKing)

Hey guys: Just to update, roughly 4 months with the 103/4 now and I'm in love. What a great speaker!! Soundstage is freakish, and the speed of the twin bass drivers is superb. Takes a lot of juice to drive them, but boy do they sing!!
