Hello,

I'm French and new on this very interesting forum.
I owned Concerto and Cadenza and 104. I just found a pair of Caprice in very good shape (20 euros, a good bargain), but there is something I don't understand : they have exactly the same dimensions that the Chorale, the logo on the back is marked "Caprice SP 1104", the mid HP is a SP1063a. This specs are not the same KEF give for the Caprice, they look like the Chorale specs.
Can somebody help a poor frog in love with english speakers ?

I've seen a KEF Caprice on a French website in the past, it looked like a Chorale.

I suspect the literal translations of "whim" and "chorale society" had something to do with the name change.

Good score @£14 btw Very Happy

Thanks Colin,

I supposed somethink like that...but I wonder why the marketing men of KEF had given different names for the export ? Chorale and Caprice are perfectly undertsandable in french !
OK, I know, the answer is in the question : they are marketing men.javascript:emoticon(' Confused

').AND english javascript:emoticon(' Laughing

')

In the October edition of Hi-Fi News there is a small and limited edition to the KEF Museum on pages 95 to 96.
What is that nasty Celestion SL6 doing there?
Not a classic in my opinion...

I have a story regarding these 'Strangle Boxes' sadly it is too long for these pages and best told over a pint of real ale or a decent claret or burgundy...

Anyway, the TL KEFs won the day between Bristol & Cheltenham...
