DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Up for grabs is a cherished, one-owner pair of KEF Model 103/3 Reference Series speakers in a sleek black ash finish, complete with their matching factory stands. I bought these brand new in 1991 and have taken meticulous care of them in a smoke-free home.
They feature heavy-duty gold-plated binding posts and premium British engineering that delivers amazing clarity and imaging.
Sound: Rich, detailed, and room-filling sound that KEF Reference is legendary for.
Cosmetics: Cabinets and stands are in fantastic shape with only minor, age-appropriate wear. Grilles and black front baffles are exceptionally clean.
Full Disclosure: This sale is for the speakers and stands only—the external KEF Kube equalizer module is not included. They still play and sound great as-is, though purists may choose to track down a Kube or manage the low-end frequency via tone controls/DSP.
