I have in my possession an old DIY kit from KEF. It contains:

- 2 x T27 tweeters (SP1032)
- 2 x B110 (SP1057)
- 2 x B200 (SP1039), one of which unfortunately has some serious coil rub.
- 2 x SP1004 crossover

So, I basically have these to spare. I used one of the B200s to fix my 104aBs (hence the coil rub in the one of the ones I have left), and have neither the skill nor the need to build a speaker set out of these parts. I do have a couple of questions maybe you could help me with.

First of all, who can tell me anything about the crossover. I don't know anything about it. How would a speaker built with these parts compare to my 104aBs?
Second, in preparation of a possible sale, I was measuring the resistance of the drivers. All the B110 and B200s measure the listed 8 Ohms pretty much exactly. The two T27's both measure 7 Ohms. Is this normal or indicative of a problem? Does it show its age or have they probably always been like that?
Lastly, does anyone have any clue what something like this is worth? As a set or as separate parts? I don't need or expect to get rich on this by the way, they are really just in the way at this point.

Thanks!

SP1004 is a Concerto XO intended for use with T27, B110 and B139 units. You don't have any B139s, so the set is incomplete.

The d.c. resistance of nominal 8 Ohm impedance KEF units of that era was around 6.6 - 7.2 Ohms, so there is nothing wrong with them, although I'm surprised that any of your units measure as high as 8 Ohms. How accurate is your meter? Did you include leads?
Impedance is often measured in the flat part of the curve, just above resonance, around 100-150Hz.

So, try to buy a set B139B's, maybe someone can tell him witch B139 it should be, spnr ?

If it is complete i think you gonna sell it easily.
