What is the size of the room the KEF Reference 104/2s be in? I have a smaller sized room and I had a 1st generation Jolida Tube DAC sending signals to a Kavent S-33 preamp to a Jolida JD-502P amplifier for a bit and all kinds music was awesome sounding. I could tailor the sound to my liking by swapping tubes on the DAC or even the Jolida 502P. It can get crazy with all the tube rolling one can do. To make things simpler for your friend he can get a Jolida DAC and a Jolida 502 Integrated and it would really push the 104/2s right.
Preamp and DAC to drive KEF Reference 104/2?
A buddy of mine just acquired some 104/2s for free and is mainly looking to play digital via computer as his source, quite probably CDs as well. He's just starting to venture into the world of higher end components, so I'm thinking he's in the ballpark of spending 2, maybe $3K.
Given that he's working the serpent from the tail end, albeit the speakers were free, he may or may not have the opportunity in Seattle to listen to the suggested components. Beyond advising he get the speakers serviced, I didn't have much to offer him. Any suggestions?
