KEF Speakers

Again, i'm not familiar with those but at $300, I wouldn't do it. They look super old and ugly. What made you interested in them? Not trying to sound mean, by the way :-)
If you don't want to buy off audiogon, what city do you live in and I'll check out your local craigslist.
I saw a pair of nht absolute zero's for $300 here on audiogon. Those would be decent. I'm sure there are some nice speakers you can get for $300. What kind of music do you like? What kind of amp? How big is the room? Would you rather have loud or quality? Is bass important?

You probably don't want ancient Kefs or B&Ws as they would be their early/first offerings. The examples they themselves learned from.

Im really into "vintage speakers" I love the big chunky wooden boxes/the way they sound, I have a pair of klipsch heresy 1s that I love. oh and im from Tasmania- Australia. quite limited on whats around.

The Heresy's are by no means early offerings by Klipsch. Those are great speakers. I'm a vintage lover myself and love adventure. Just be careful not to spend too much just because it's in great shape. I don't know about you but if it's not a stellar performer, I don't want it no matter what shape it's in. One you simply can't go wrong with is JBL. Vintage or not, they've always been great performers. Klipsch also for that matter. Coral, Yamaha, Pioneer to name a few more. The earliest B&W I would venture would be the DM6, their flagship just before the 801. I've seen them in great shape selling for around $400. I'm not familiar with early Kefs except to say I own a pair of 105 series 2. I believe they were the first computer-aided construction. I bought them new in '79 and loved them for many years however if I had to do it again I would have hunted down a first series pair instead as they were simply better.

Have you tried perusing the KEF Museum? That is a good resource for vintage KEF speakers. Also I've contacted Corey Medley at KEF USA and he has been helpful too. Maybe you can reach out them via website inquiry and they will get back to you. When I needed info for various older KEF speakers Corey was great to work with.
