Kef 107 vs 107/2
I stumbled into the audiokharma forum and found a thread that walks you thru recapping and replacing the ferrofluid in the tweeter. they also replace the 'opamp'? in the kube. I know this thread is ancient but the speakers remain favorites. 
kef r107mk2

kef 104.2 vs 105.2/105.3?
I bought the 105/3's after auditioning 104/2, 107/2 also.In the demo room I thought the 104 & 107 sounded alike. the 107 is the evolution of the 105/2, and the 105/3 is another beast altogether. We'll leave the word "better" out I'll just say ...
