At €450, this sits above the recent used-market median of €249 and even the 75th percentile of €333, so it looks ambitious rather than a bargain. Unless there’s unusually strong provenance or an exceptional cosmetic/mechanical story, a buyer would want to negotiate hard or wait for a better-priced pair.
That said, the 104/2 is a genuinely respected classic: coherent imaging, big-scale sound, and the kind of full-bodied, engaging presentation that keeps these on shortlists decades later. For a pair this old, value improves a lot if the drivers, surrounds, and crossovers are confirmed healthy and the cabinets are original and clean; if those boxes are ticked, it’s a more interesting buy than a random modern budget speaker, just not at this ask.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
KEF traces its roots to 1961, when British engineer Raymond Cooke founded the company in a modest Nissen hut on the grounds of the Kent Engineering and Foundry in Maidstone, England. A former BBC engineer and Wharfedale veteran, Cooke was driven by a passion for music and a commitment to technological innovation, aiming to reproduce sound as faithfully as the original performance. From its inception, KEF pioneered materials like foil-stiffened polystyrene diaphragms and Melinex tweeters in its debut K1 loudspeaker, setting a benchmark for engineering precision that propelled the brand to early acclaim.
KEF has long specialized in loudspeakers, establishing itself as a leader with iconic innovations such as the Uni-Q coaxial driver and computer-aided design techniques that revolutionized driver and enclosure development. While drive units supplied to other manufacturers fueled its growth, the brand's core output remains high-fidelity speakers across categories like floorstanders, bookshelves, and home theater systems, including early THX-approved setups. Active wireless models and reference-grade series extend its portfolio, though it eschews amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Renowned for its science-driven heritage, KEF occupies a premium position in the hi-fi market, blending accessible high-end performance with cutting-edge technology. Collectors prize vintage BBC monitors and Bextrene-driver classics, while modern buyers seek its precise, natural soundstaging. Decades of awards affirm KEF's status as a respected innovator, appealing to discerning audiophiles who value engineering over hype.
