Kef 107 vs 107/2


I recently a pair of KEF 107's with a Kube. I drive them with a McIntosh MA6500 integrated (which could be slightly underpowing them in demaning passages). Now I am curious how they compare to the 107/2. Is the 107/2 much of an upgrade, and if so, how or in what area?

recently I have upgraded the MF/HF xo to Solen caps, replacing the stock Alcaps and adding a bit of Cardas Quad Eutectic solder to all contacts: as expected, the sound stage widened and everything is clearer. Maybe I should replace the internal wiring with something better. I am sure replacing the caps in the LF xo will tighten up the bass but I am pretty happy with that already.

After so many years, I suspect that the fluid in the T33 / SP1210 tweeters have started to dry out (havent noticed the drop but it may happen so gradual that I didnt notice or I am just getting more deaf). I wonder if anyone has tried to upgrade the existing ones to ScanSpeak 9300 or 9500 (which have a very similar frequency plot as the T33) with satisfactory results. If anyone has new old stock of a pair of Vifa MG27 and want to sell them, please email me, thanks!
