Dear Kef Lovers/Experts
I am hoping someone can suggest what cables (Make and Model) will give noticable improvement on clarity and bass. I am currently using Avondale modified MF 'The Preamp' with 2x Typhoon monos total 150wpc, and Cable Talk Concert 2 speaker cable.
I also heard that ideally the internal wiring should be the same as the external, is this true? I dont really want to try out all sorts of different cables, it has been quite tiring. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks
StephenW

I suspect that the wire between the power output pcb and output terminals of your Typhoons will be off the same order as that used between the input terminals and crossover pcb of your KEFs.

So a) don't bother or b) replace the 18 inch section of internal wire to the crossover pcb with Cable Talk or el-cheepo 1036 strand from Maplin.

As >95% of input power is "lost" as heat in the crossover only strange people do any additional rewiring.

A nice new set of electrolytics or ~£90 of Solen capacitors will improve the sound of the speakers due to lower series resistances.

Don't hard wire the head or use "audiofool" gold plated fuses normal quick blows to replace the existing components will surffice.

Many thanks for your advise Colin. If I like to make the changes as suggested by you, could you please clarify the following queries;

1) To replace the 18'' section internal wiring, do I need to remove the head in order to get access to the area. Also the crossover pcb is presumbably where the black and red wires connected to.

2) Where can I get this nice set of electrolytics you mentioned and where abouts are they inside the speakers, any ideal how much they are?

3) Is it true that the original type of fuse for the HF is 500ma time delay fuse, and are you suggesting to replace them with 500ma quick blow fuse?

I am so sorry for being so electronically thick, your further advise would be most appreciated.

Regards
