KEF Model 102

Commentary

Reference Series bookshelf speaker system.

KEF's own active low-frequency equalizer, KUBE, is included.
KUBE provides two types of equalization : a fixed type that automatically adjusts the mid - and high-frequency ranges to flatten out at maximum efficiency, and a variable type that allows the user to move the dial to obtain the optimum low-frequency range for room conditions and program sources.
In combination with KUBE, low-frequency playback extending to 40 Hz or less is possible.

A 16 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.

The T33, a 2.5 cm soft dome type tweeter, is installed in the high range.

A unique CLM (Conjugate Load Matching) is adopted in the network part.
In CLM, irregular and complicated speaker impedance is changed to almost flat resistance value over all audible frequencies by the action of the conjugate network developed by KEF.
As a result, the sensitivity and maximum output level are almost twice as high as those of ordinary speakers under the same amplifier operating conditions. Moreover, the dynamic range is expanded, enabling ideal matching with the amplifier.

There are 2 variations, natural walnut and natural rosewood finish.
