KEF 107.2 with KUBE?


I'm buying a pair of KEF 107.2s without a KUBE. Some say a KUBE is not needed, but according to the installation instructions it's integral to the design. I want to have one even if I choose not to use it. Anyone have a lead on a KEF 107.2 KUBE for sale?

I'd be interested to learn what those who've heard a 107.2 with and without a KUBE have to say.

You can send me a private email if you can find it from Audiogon.

I am the original owner of a very early pair of 103/3s that have always been used with the Kube that came with it. The installation manual makes no mention of the speakers and the Kube being matched but the Kube is labeled on the rear for 103/3. In the 25+years I've had them I don't think the dial has been off the 12 o'clock position a dozen times.
"The Kube is an active low-level equalizer. This equalization forms part of the speakers crossover network and is an essential part of the design."(from the manual)
I would be more concerned with the condition of the drivers-both the woofers and tweeters. Great restoration threads on 107/2s on AK.These were expensive when new and bring big money today.Good luck and happy listening.
