KEF Chorale Improvement?

[audioboy]

I've acquired a pair of KEF Chorales

from a Thrift store a few years ago. Well, I was quite astonished in the beginning. But after a few days/years, I started to hear the problems that it had. It doesn't sound as good as the Tangent that my dad had even though they have very similar drivers (same tweeter, slightely larger woofer).

Anyway, here's a list of problems:
1) lacks midrange
2) the bass shakes the ground but my ears can't really hear much of it.
3) the high end not as smooth or warmer as my Tangent or Spendor LS3/5A

Lastly here's the original crossover:

Could anyone find ways to improve the speaker?
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

Other than updating the capacitors there is not much you can do
that is cost effective. Ideally the notch circuit (2mH 6.4 R DCR -
16uF) should be individually tuned to the particular driver, but
this is difficult without measuring equipment.

FWIW the individual drivers would probably sell on e-bay for more
than the complete speakers as KEF drivers are much sought after.

A drastic redesign would put the bass driver in a transmission line
and add a midrange driver, but using modern units would be better.

TBH I've never found the B200 that good. My second-hand Musical
Fidelity MC2's (go for a song if you can find them) are far better than
any of the speakers you mention in nearly every area. Its much
better to start off with something very good and tweak.

e.g classics are the original Rogers studio 1's and LS7's

Detune the port somewhat and a pair of decent stands .....
