KEF 107 without Kube


I'm about to buy a set of KEF 107s without the Kube. My understanding is the Kube basically bumps up the bass to make the speaker more flat and lacks bass/body/punch without it.  Then I also hear that the Kube negatively affects the mids/highs according to many owners.  Is fixing this as easy as just bumping up the bass knob or do I really need to employ my miniDSP that I don't want to put in the chain?  Actually, I'll be using my Mcintosh ma7900 integrated so I don't think I can put the miniDSP in the chain anyway.

Woofers have been refoamed and tweeters have new fluid.. Nothing else has been done as far as wiring and crossovers.  

Thoughts on these without the Kube?  Or any other good mods?

using eq is the only solution for you now, but kef had the bass peak at 5hz rolling off so it was flat by 40 hz in order to avoid the mid bass hump every other manufacturer does to get deep bass. the kube also smoothed out some defeciency around 3khz.  I had the 107/2 and the 105/3 that might be interchangable...but.
