I own a pair of KEF 105/3 and have yet to depart from them. The only draw back is replacing the foam surrounds on the inclosed woofers, major hassle in two regards- getting them out of the enclosures, and finding a qualified tech to re-cone them properly.
They have given me a solid six years between this maintenance, thank goodness.
I also own the B&W Matrix 802/3, no maintenance there, butle surrounds! They are a little more acurate in the mids and highs but definitely lack the power and impact of the 105's. The KEF's fill larger spaces much better too. Very robust.
