Old KEF speakers

Moondog55 · 23rd May 2008, 11:33 PM

I just saw this unit on EB**** and was wondering what the midrange driver was, I have never heard the 61/2 inch driver perform and wondered if any-one here had any experience with this speaker.

Just curiosity as I am not bidding, shipping from the USA to Oz is prohibitive for single items

Although the units clearly show a B139 and a T33 each, the midrange woofer doesn't even look KEF style.

Clearly not a B110 or a B200 or B200G.

It could be a totaly different make of speaker using some KEF drivers, IMO

Its a polypropylene-coned B160

Hi Moondog,

No I havent heard them. I have a pair of C55 which I really like and may buy another pair of KEFs if I find any good used ones.
