Kef drivers suitable for TL?

[Wayniac]

I have a pair of Kef C35 bookshelf speakers. The drivers are 8" Uni-Q coaxials, MB200-SP1242. I've been looking for a data sheet without success. I am looking for advice or experience regarding these drivers in a TL application. Thanks.

You really need to get the drivers measured to get a decent idea of what will work.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I figured if you took the time to ask, I should take the time and think about the reply. The (somewhat) long, boring story follows:

In the mid-nineties I was working for a defense contractor and travelled a lot. It was easier to move these around instead of my JBL L100Ts. I used to drive them with a Yamaha M80. I thought they sounded nice, but as expected, a little light on bass. I augmented them with an AR subwoofer.

Fast-forward to current times. The speakers are connected to a Yamaha surround sound receiver and sound dull, lifeless and generally uninspired. I bought the receiver used, opened it up to clean it and was disapointed with the (lack of) build quality. Perhaps a re-cap of the crossovers is required. I don't know.

I am refurbishing a pair of McIntosh MC30s at the moment and will try the Kefs with these.

Thanks for listening............................
