Robin, Thanks so much for the input - particularly on the price range for the 104/2s. As I mentioned, I have no feel for the market on these and they don't seem to crop up too often so it's great to have another point of reference. I really appreciate your comments on the ones in the gumtree ad, it's good to know that they look in good shape to a trained eye. I've just had a quick look into replacing the rubber surrounds on the internal drivers and there are some pretty comprehensive youtube videos on it - so if that needs doing it should be a relatively straightforward affair. Thanks again for your comments, fingers crossed these ones on gumtree are still available - my father will be ecstatic to finally have his own set of KEFs!

LPG, Thank you so much! I didn't even think to check gumtree - a complete brain-fade on my part. I've just contacted the seller, hopefully they're still available. Thanks also for the tip on the 47labs amp - I have to admit I'm well outside my knowledge here (I personally stick to headphones 95% of the time) so I'll definitely be reading up on how to get the best performance and pairing out of the KEFs. Very much appreciated!

Item: KEF 104/2 or 105/3 speakers Price Range: $1k --> $several k (?) Item Condition: As good as possible for 20+-year-old speakers Item Location: Prefer NSW, but happy to work with shipping if the seller is Extra Info: My father has wanted a set of KEFs since I was a kid, and I've decided for his birthday this year to try and find a pair. It seems that these are not particularly thick on the ground, I've only been able to find one set that didn't sell on ebay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KEF-105-3-Floor-Speakers-/122092629492?hash=item1c6d49adf4%3Ag%3Atv4AAOSw0UdXt9cr&nma=true&si=%2FxuI100biWIf%2FVSwzQK9MP0JyqE%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557), and nothing here in the classifieds or the classifieds archive - hence the question mark on the price range. If I'm way off on price I'm happy to be told so, one data point is not a lot to go off. I'm located in Wollongong and my father is in Sydney, but I'm happy to pick them up from anywhere between Byron and Eden. Alternatively, if there's nothing local shipping is on the table - although I can imagine that's a pain for the seller and there's always the risk of damage in transit. Anyway, thanks in advance for checking this out - hopefully my ad shakes something loose!

Hi JDH - thanks for the heads-up on the stands. If anyone is interested they can be found here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kef-XQ20-Speaker-Stands-Soft-Black-Ex-Display-/281174115732?pt=AU_Hi_Fi_Speakers&hash=item4177488594 Note: I am not the seller of the KEF stands or affiliated in any way with them, just a potentially interesting link.

Item: Pair of KEF XQ20 bookshelf speakers, and stands (not KEF stands) Location: Waverton 2060 NSW Price: $1200 Item Condition: Good - barely used Reason for selling: Surplus to needs Payment Method: Pickup - Cash Extra Info: These KEFs are in great condition - I bought them from a fellow SNAer a few years ago for a system that never ended up eventuating. As such, they've been sitting in their original box and have had very little use. The finish on the enclosures is in excellent condition - I was unable to find marks/dings/scratches etc. when I inspected them while taking these photos. Sonically they are in perfect working order (as is to be expected). Included is a set of wooden stands. I am unsure of the brand - but they are hollow and able to be filled with sand if required. These speakers are currently boxed up at my parents place in Waverton, but can be set up for audition for serious inquiries.
