KEF CS1A kit [1st pair] stand speakers - teak :

Wasn't sure what model KEF these are : the Reference 101 model has an overload LED, whereas the CS1A kit version has a simple crossover. These have a similar complicated crossover to the 101, but have rear fuses for overload protection

Review : HiFi Review of Reference 101 for CS1A: Though it is very tiny, only one-tenth the volume of the KEF Model 105, there is evidence that this speaker has received the same attention by its designers. Indeed the problems of designing a high quality speaker of small dimensions are greater than for a large one. The two KEF drive units are computer matched to each other within 0.5dB. They are housed in a very strong 6.7 litre cabinet veneered on all sides, including the front, which is normally covered by a framed grille of acoustically transparent cloth

Connections are via spring-loaded push-in terminals with tweeter protection 1.25A fuse So we suggest an amplifier of at least 20 watts rating, with 50watts programme rating, use amplifiers up to 100W. Directional spread was smooth and consistent in all planes, which we regard as a very good feature, making positioning uncritical-though KEF suggest the speakers should be about 1 metre above the floor.

As with any of the small or large speakers : personal delivery option to Auckland by arrangement is possible - next dates are Fri Oct 11 / Sat Oct 12th
