These are the second largest floorstander in Kef's top of the line Reference series, released 1994 to 1999.  

 

This pair presents very well; is in excellent condition, has the more expensive

Rosetta Burr finish - with only a couple of minor blemishes on the cabinets (see photos). Meticulously looked after since purchase - 3 years ago.

 

IMO they are neutral, detailed, have a fantastic midrange, and produce quite astounding and tone-full bass when called for. Front ported design and Uni Q tweeter combination, makes them quite forgiving in terms of room placement, and provides a large sweet spot.
