KEF 105 Recap
Things have changed for me in recent months. I have moved back to the UK and no longer have access to the machine shop so the projects on here will probably be a little more tame.
I have had these speakers for a while and never got round to refurbishing the crossovers. First step was to take the front bass baffle off and remove the crossovers.
Inside the bass Cabinet they were stamped with the date April 1979, They are quite tidy for something 33 years old.
The tube in the center was for the speaker wire to enter from the base I guess for a neater appearence. The wire was pulled out and the caps replaced. The speaker sockets for the bass cabinet had also broken so new ones were installed.
Then it was just a case of reassembly and putting them back in position.
In my next article I will provide measurements of these speakers.
Hi,
Nice blog, I have a pair 105’s myself.
I’m in the process to recap them, but they have been messed around in the past, can tell me (if you remember) how the Bass cabinet was damped originally?
