Description
Key Features
The Kefkit 1 is a two-way design, pairing a substantial bass/midrange driver with a dedicated tweeter, in keeping with the general approach KEF took across its range of self-build kits during this period, which also drew on drivers used in some of the company’s own finished speaker ranges. Being sold originally as a kit, the quality of the final cabinet varied depending on the builder, and this pair shows a good standard of cabinet construction and finish. As with any speaker system of this vintage, careful setup and correct crossover function contribute significantly to the sound achieved, and these have been checked and tested by Andrew as functioning correctly.

Important Owner’s Notes
As a self-assembly kit speaker, cabinet construction quality can vary from the original builder, though this pair presents well. As with all vintage loudspeakers, the crossover components are original and have not been serviced; a full service, including crossover capacitor renewal, is something some owners choose to have carried out on speakers of this age, and we would be happy to discuss this further.
