Vintage KEF Chorale Bookshelf Speakers. Refurbished

Description

Wonderful sounding vintage KEF Speakers, refurbished, re-capped and in working perfectly.

The cabinets have been rubbed down and oiled and the grilles have been re-trimmed in new fabric.

The original electrolytic capacitors in the crossover were all passed their best and drifting out of spec as is to be expected at this age so I have upgraded to MKT film capacitors. The improvement in sound is amazing; so much clearer, more transparent and detailed. These will put many modern designs to shame.

They sound clean and warm with impressive bass depth.

From the KEF website:

Chorale (1970-79)
The Chorale paired a B200 with the established T27 tweeter in a 20 Litre closed box design, which became an instant success and KEF’s new best selling product. It combined an extended high frequency response with a natural, uncoloured midrange and a full round, bass - quiet and delicate or complex and heavy music being handled with equal ease. The success of the Chorale ensured that it remained in production until 1979.
