| Is KEF no longer relevant? Clarification/Correction: I mistakenly referred to the KEF 102/2 instead of the 201/2 in the second paragraph. All my comments were about the 201/2 - the 102s were a much earlier 3-way speaker, and not currently state-of-the-art (although admitted... | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? There is an open argument about whether the new Revel series is superior to the new KEF reference series. There is little question that least in my judgment that they are right now the two best high-end lines in dynamic loudspeakers. Clearly, you ... | |
| Kef Reference Model Two - Replacing Speaker Try contacting KEF directly. They will often have replacement parts. | |
| Using KEF- KUBE with 107/2 Speakers You really need the KEF KUBE. It is more than just a low bass booster - it affects midrange slightly as well and is specific to the 107 series. See http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/550/index4.html or http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeaker... | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? Is KEF no longer relevant? Only if you are tone deaf.The new Reference Series in my opinion is one of the smoothest sounding most neutral and most realistic group of speakers I've ever listened to, with a sense of transparency and openness of soun... | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Hi DaveWondering if you have compared the Mapleshades and the Stein stands? The steins appear to be a bit more attractive.best, Doug | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Hi DaveThanks for your response. Those numbers don't sound off to me, esp. with even just some modest boundary reinforcement. Which line level outputs are you using? Separates and a preamp output? Subwoofer outputs on an AV receiver? I have an NAD... | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Very interesting and thanks for that Bolson. I wonder if the audiophile press will now take the speaker more seriously that it has now passed out of reach of most people. What about the alternative wood stands from someone else - can't recall the ... | |
| New Gallo 3.5's I saw those - the aesthetics however leave a lot to be desired and the price is really up there. Isn't there an alternative in terms of someone else making a stand that is the same size as the base? Can't recall the name though . . . .DW | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Sorry to be late in responding, swamped at the hospital (where I practice). The KEFs were still in great shape, because the woofer surrounds were the 2nd generation rubber ones and not the foam ones, and thus still perfect. I sometimes wish I hadn... | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Hi DanThanks for your posting. I also owned a great pair of 104.2s for about 25 years - loved them, and sometimes have wished I kept them instead of selling them. Great speaker, and the 3.1 is in many ways a modern update of it. D'Appolito midrang... | |
| New Gallo 3.5's BTW, and totally unrelated to anything we have been talking about, I finally got an NAD receiver working with the 3.1s. The audyssey EQ program is really pretty impressive and the changes that it makes to the speaker's output suggests that the pre... | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Very interesting, and it fits with Gallo's own statements. What did Wes Philips actually say about the speaker? | |
| New Gallo 3.5's No problem, I appreciate the clarification (couldn't tell if you were teasing (which is always OK) or being dismissive - my fault for assuming the latter. I take it you have a pair of 3's (3.0 or 3.1?). I am eagerly awaiting the appearance of the ... | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Hi BobFair questions. I have a power meter on the amp. I am just guessing about sound levels based on the rough efficiency of the speaker (which I think is a bit less efficient than rated - these are real power hogs). I don't like move theater sou... |
