These beautiful vintage KEF Reference Series 102 speakers are from the original owner. They spent their entire life on a bookshelf in a climate controlled home. They are in excellent cosmetic condition and work perfectly. Please look carefully at all pictures and judge the condition for yourself. These speakers were taken to Freeman Tuell Speaker Services (best speaker repair shop in DFW area) and were checked. The crossovers, woofers and butyl surrounds on the woofers were all in great condition. The T33 ferrofluid tweeters needed to be serviced and both tweeters had NEW FERROFLUID INSTALLED. Everything now sounds as they did when they were new. This matched pair of speaker (A/B pair) are in the rare and more expensive ROSEWOOD finish. The grain is matched and the speakers are stunning to look at. Buy with confidence. All of my sales carry a 100% money back guarantee. I have been a highly rated eBay seller for over 24 years!

KEF Kube 102 -Designed To Optimize KEF Reference 102 Speakers I bought a couple of these when I was working for a KEF Dealer back in the 90s They belonged to the Floor Model KEF Reference 102 speakers we had on hand to Demo but were mistakenly separated from the speakers before they were sold That was unfortunate because the Kube 102 is designed as part of the Reference 102Speaker System. Without the Kube, the speakers will not sound as they were intended When I got the Kubes, they were boxed up and stored in a cabinet and were never used in all this time. When I rediscovered them, they looked like new and they have the original power supplies (see pics) I tested them and they performed perfectly. No pops on the switches, no noise on the contour knob. All RCA Connections have been cleaned and treated with DeoxIT The photos are of the exact item you will receiveShipping is UPS Ground.

KEF KUBE 102 Reference Active Equalizer, tested, and in nIce well cared for working condition, non smoking climate controlled environment, original box/packing/power supply. Audiophile design, craftsmanship, and performance, made in England. The shipping cost includes safe packing, insurance, prompt shipping and tracking number. See description and particulars below. Buy with confidence, see my feedback. Good Listening, SonnY :) The bass performance of the system is obtained by using a separate active (electronic) equalizer, the KUBE (KEF Universal Bass Equalizer), that boosts the bass drive signal by 5 to 6 dB below about 40 Hz while reducing the midrange drive signal in the 2,000-Hz region by about 5 dB. The KUBE Model 2088 supplied with the KEF 102 speakers is meant to be inserted in an amplifier or receiver tape-monitor loop or between a preamplifier and power amplifier. It has a set of tape input and output jacks and a monitor switch to replace those required for its connection to the amplifier. Pushing in the extend button of the KUBE inserts an additional bass boost that complements the speaker’s natural rolloff in the bass region and gives it a nearly flat response to 40 Hz. Another control, marked contour, shifts the level of the entire bass range (below about 200 Hz) up or down as much as 3 dB to balance the low-frequency sound against the midrange level. The contour circuit operates independently of the extend control.

KEF Reference Series Type SP3079 Model 102 Bookshelf Home Theater Speakers. These speakers are in great shape overall. Especially for their age.

Pair of KEF Model 102 Reference Series speakers with KEF Kube 102. Circa late 1980s. The Kube is a bass frequency extender and is needed for best sound. Important: your amp or receiver must have a Tape2/Monitor button or send-return (effects loop) capability to utilize the Kube. Two-way system with 6 and 1.25 drivers. The drivers are all original and perform well. I replaced the ferrofluid in both tweeters in 2022 after noticing reduced high frequencies. The high frequency response is restored. Very good cosmetic condition. There is a ding and scratch in the finish of one speaker (see photos).Deep reddish brown cherry finish.One of the grill cloths mounting pegs is slightly pushed in, which pushes the grill cloth outward in one corner, but it has not punctured the cloth. Power cords for the Kube are included. RCA cables for Kube/receiver connection and speaker wires for receiver/speaker connection are NOT included. Dimensions of one speaker: 8 3/16 wide x 13 tall x 10 3/8 deep with grill cloth on. The owners manual for these is free to read online for tech specs, wire connections, and suggested placement within your listening space. These are packed carefully for shipping (a box within a box) and will ship UPS Ground.

I am clearing out my Audio Vault of priceless gems from my life of Audio Bliss. Here is why you will love these speakers:They bring you MUCH closer to the Music.Heres how:The sealed cabinet keeps the bass Tight and Punchy. Most speakers have a hole in the cabinet so the speaker will sound LOUD, but mushy!) There is also a re-enforcing rod connecting the woofer to the back of the solid cabinet for exceptional musical precision (most speakers just hang the woofer on the front of the cabinet so the sound is further muddled.)Each, individual woofer and tweeter is hand-matched (That means a sound technician personally measures and Listens to all the woofers and tweeters and personally selects the perfect pair to match each other AND the speakers in the other cabinet as well!). This pair of speakers was personally matched and mated to sound as good as humanly possible, individually AND as a mated pair. You will notice the serial numbers are designated by the identical serial number with an A and B speaker. Next, cabinetry experts personally select the fine wood veneers that most closely match, for This pair of speakers. All this exhaustive effort went into this individual pair of speakers in a factory in Kent, England; not slammed out on an automated, mechanical assembly machine in China. Finally, after these speakers were matched, mated, and clothed in matching veneers, they went through intensive listening tests to insure they are the best speakers possible.The pride of producing these wonderful speakers shines through in the MUSIC that flows through them.KEF made an equalization KUBE to punch up the bass in such a small cabinet. With the KUBE, these speakers sound like Floor Standing speakers. The KUBE was a great idea at the time because subwoofer technology had not been developed or perfected. But today, a good subwoofer does a better job than the KUBE, so it is not strictly necessary. I still have mine, but the electronics are a little sketchy, so I always use my subwoofer to enlarge the sound quite nicely. Please! Do not buy these speakers if you need the KUBE to function perfectly. I does not work perfectly. and I am not selling these speakers based on the performance of the KUBE; but on the sound of the speakers, themselves.Basically you are purchasing a Hand Made speaker, lovingly constructed by music lovers to the finest tolerances of man and machine to build a reference grade studio monitor (used by the BBC for studio monitors!) Painstakingly tested, matched, mated, clad in matching real wood veneers in England by audio experts. And yes; they sound spectacular!You wont hear the speakers; youll hear the Music!Yours for a (beautifully harmonious) SONG!I will pack therewith great care!You will NOT find any of these KEF Reference 102 speakers with the Gorgeous, Matched Real Wood Tiger Eye Rose Wood veneers. They are beautiful and quite unique! On Aug-24-23 at 08:50:49 PDT, seller added the following information: Listening to the KEF 102 system, we quickly became aware of its smooth, easy sound—rarely experienced from speakers of its size, though it should be expected from speakers in its price class. The bass was not at all thin; in fact, the speakers had a tendency to sound “warm,” imparting an audible but not objectionable upper-bass boost to most voices. For the most part, however, the sound quality was as neutral as we have come to expect from KEF. The Model 102 even displayed some of the same minor colorations as the KEF 105.2 system we have used for years as our reference speaker. An A/B comparison left no doubt of the close kinship between the Model 102 and the 105.2, which sells for about three times its price. The two have virtually identical sensitivities and, at least in our room, sound so much alike that in most cases only spatial clues enabled us to distinguish between them when switching back and forth. It was not too surprising to find the Model 102 even better than the 105.2

There is also a re-enforcing rod connecting the woofer to the back of the solid cabinet for exceptional musical precision (most speakers just hang the woofer on the front of the cabinet so the sound is further muddled.)Each, individual woofer and tweeter is hand-matched (That means a sound technician personally measures and Listens to all the woofers and tweeters and personally selects the perfect pair to match each other AND the speakers in the other cabinet as well!). This pair of speakers was personally matched and mated to sound as good as humanly possible, individually AND as a mated pair. You will notice the serial numbers are designated by the identical serial number with an A and B speaker. Next, cabinetry experts personally select the fine wood veneers that most closely match, for This pair of speakers. All this exhaustive effort went into this individual pair of speakers in a factory in Kent, England; not slammed out on an automated, mechanical assembly machine in China. Finally, after these speakers were matched, mated, and clothed in matching veneers, they went through intensive listening tests to insure they are the best speakers possible.The pride of producing these wonderful speakers shines through in the MUSIC that flows through them.KEF made an equalization KUBE to punch up the bass in such a small cabinet. With the KUBE, these speakers sound like Floor Standing speakers. The KUBE was a great idea at the time because subwoofer technology had not been developed or perfected. But today, a good subwoofer does a better job than the KUBE, so it is not strictly necessary. I still have mine, but the electronics are a little sketchy, so I always use my subwoofer to enlarge the sound quite nicely. Please! Do not buy these speakers if you need the KUBE to function perfectly. I does not work perfectly. and I am not selling these speakers based on the performance of the KUBE; but on the sound of the speakers, themselves.Basically you are purchasing a Hand Made speaker, lovingly constructed by music lovers to the finest tolerances of man and machine to build a reference grade studio monitor (used by the BBC for studio monitors!) Painstakingly tested, matched, mated, clad in matching real wood veneers in England by audio experts. And yes; they sound spectacular!You wont hear the speakers; youll hear the Music!Yours for a (beautifully harmonious) SONG!

The bass was not at all thin; in fact, the speakers had a tendency to sound “warm,” imparting an audible but not objectionable upper-bass boost to most voices. For the most part, however, the sound quality was as neutral as we have come to expect from KEF. The Model 102 even displayed some of the same minor colorations as the KEF 105.2 system we have used for years as our reference speaker. An A/B comparison left no doubt of the close kinship between the Model 102 and the 105.2, which sells for about three times its price. The two have virtually identical sensitivities and, at least in our room, sound so much alike that in most cases only spatial clues enabled us to distinguish between them when switching back and forth. It was not too surprising to find the Model 102 even better than the 105.2
