KEF 104/2, 105/3, or 107/2?


I've been using four KEF 102/2s, a KEF 100C, and Velodyne HGS-10 sub for stereo music, movies, and HDTV. I want to upgrade at least the front LR speakers for stereo music -- the HGS-10 can cover 100 Hz and below. These speakers are driven by Proceed Amp2 and Amp3 (200 watts RMS into 4 ohm load). Processing is Proceed PAV (preamp) and PDSD (digital signal processor).

I don't recall having heard 104/2, 105/3, or 107/2, but am I considering all of them. Mostly like classical and jazz music. I'll look for a KEF 200C to upgrade the center channel. Main purpose of upgrade is stereo music; I am happy with 102/2 and HGS-10 for movies and HDTV.

Advice sought.

I've owned a pair of Kef 104.2s for over three years now and have yet to have a problem with any of the parts. Yes, there is the risk with any "vintage" speaker that parts will fail and replacements will be scarce, but since Donbellphd owns a pair of 102.2s I would assume he understands the risks involved. Also, keep in mind that 104.2s were manufactured for nearly a decade. If you manage to snag one of the later bi-wired Raymond Cooke versions, then you're only looking at a speaker a decade or so old.

I recently went through a round of in-home demoing of speakers (Neat and Von Schweikerts) to replace my beloved 104.2s but none were able to supplant the Kefs. They are fantastic speakers although I've read conflicting reports of whether the 100 and 200c matches them.
It's a difficult decision. I owned Kef 107's for about ten years. I don't want to burst your bubble but I think there a lot of speakers out there that will better the Kefs especially in the high end and midrange. Just my opinion but I am very fimilar with these speakers.
I've had my 104.2 since 1990. No problems! Infact, I think they are getting better with age. They have made it through about 4 moves and nothing stops them from giving me a great big grin. My thoughts!
I was so happy to trade my KEF 103.2's for modern speakers. It is amazing how technology has progressed in TWENTY YEARS! Move on! There are much better speakers available. Better with age my foot. What kind of stereo do you have in your '69 bug?
I just got offered a set of nearly perfect 104/2's (minor scratches) that I have been testing in my hous for 3 days now so all the drivers seem to work fine. (pushing with my Denon AVR-4806 really helps)

Are they worth the $300 he wants?

Thanks, I could use the advice.
