@donedealuser (#313359) The original KEF Cresta was introduced in 1967 as a 2-way bookshelf speaker and is notable for being the "spiritual predecessor" to the famous LS3/5a. It featured a closed-box (acoustic suspension) design and was one of the first speakers to use the Bextrene-coned B110 bass driver and the T27 Mylar dome tweeter.

@donedealuser (#313359) I'm sure you can Google everything you need to know eg. Graphs etc

Hey! How about the electrolytic capacitors? Have they been replaced/recapped? I imagine the sound should be legendary from these speakers but I still wanted to ask this before deciding.

@donedealuser (#29f134) I haven't recapped them and I'm not sure if they were done before I got them. The crossover is quite simple in them though, I think just a 2.2mfd and 4.7mfd in each so pretty cheap caps if needing done.
