KEF Model 104 (104AB)
Brand: Kef
The KEF Model 104 (104AB) is a stereo loudspeaker designed and manufactured by British audio company KEF. It was introduced in the early 1970s as part of KEF's acclaimed Reference Series, which included some of the most respected and innovative speakers of that era.The Model 104 features a unique coaxial driver arrangement, which places the tweeter (high frequency) in the center of the midrange (low-mid frequency) driver, resulting in a more spatially accurate soundstage with better localization of instruments and voices. This design also allows for a smaller, more compact woofer (low frequency) to be placed below the midrange-tweeter unit.The Model 104 uses high-quality materials and technologies, such as a specially treated paper cone for the midrange driver, a soft dome tweeter for clarity and detail, and a powerful neodymium magnet for the woofer.The 104AB version, introduced in the early 1980s, includes some minor refinements and upgrades, such as improved crossover components and a more robust cabinet design.Overall, the Model 104 is a classic and highly regarded speaker in the audiophile community, known for its detailed, transparent sound, accurate imaging, and tonal balance. It is considered a landmark design and a significant influence on subsequent KEF speaker models, as well as on the development of high-end audio speaker technology in general.
