KEF R107/2 vs REVEL f52


My kef's are getting a bit long in the tooth and am looking for a drop in replacement for them, The 107's were amp friendly unlike many other kef models they only needed power to come alive not incredably expensive power. so I can get a pair of F52's for a fair price and want to hear about them.

Anybody curious about comparing the R107/2 to a newer design f52? The kef can still hold its own in the bass against virtually any full range speaker out there, midrange is still pretty good, but the tweeter from the early 90's is showing its age. I often wonder how older sota designs hold up to modern gear considering what new speakers cost i'm looking for that point of diminishing returns. the op was one example.
I think you might be referring to the R207/2 not the R107/2 unless adding ferrofluid to these vintage tweeters and jc1 amps makes a really big difference, and as much as I enjoy the R107's they won't throw a soundstage  the likes of the new hi end gear.
