A buddy of mine just picked up a pair of KEF 107's and he told me one of the tweeters is not working properly. I have not heard them yet but suggested he switch the tweeters around and see if the problem follows the tweeter.
We'll see what happens next :confused:

Any of you guys familiar with these speakers? Jeff said something that kind of concerned me...... he has the Denon receiver the guy used with the KEF's. I told him not to use it but to use his old Sansui AU-?? integrated amp instead.

If the problem is in the x-over where should he go for a fix? He told me they are from the mid-80's and if that's true maybe the caps have started to go bad :redface: They also have a broken binding post.

Any suggestions are always appreciated.

Thanks

    I just did what you told him to do to my speakers..switched tweets over--it was the xover gone bad on my ksf's..i ended up ordering some off ebay for 50.00 to my doorstep. Easy fix. And now the tweets work perfect--have you researched that model to see if others have had issues like that/google----mine i think were damaged in transport or just one of those things that happen
    good luck. Keep us updated with outcome. Randy
