I replaced my 104/2s with 107/2s that give a more refined sound with even better imaging and bass that extends to a useable 20 Hz. If I were to leave the KEF line, I'd look at the Aerial 7T. You can find reviews of the 107/2 by John Atkinson and Thomas Norton at Stereophile. In essence, the 107/2 was one of the best speakers either had heard.
Modern day equivalent of KEF 104.2s?
I am need of some advice. I have a pair of 90's vintage bi-wired Kef 104.2s that I've enjoyed the past three years. The are a very musical speaker, great for the type of rock and jazz to which I listen, and are forgiving of poor source material. They are not, however, the last word in detail or accurate bass.
For those familiar with the 104.2s, what current production speakers would you recommend that would be the equivalent of the Kefs with perhaps better detail, tighter and more accurate bass, yet no less musical?
