Prima paar met goede geluid in originele technische staat. Met nieuw magnetische vloeistof in tweeters. Units: b139 b160 t33 de foto's zijn van mij en origineel,de achtergrond is verwijdert me
Against the recent used anchor of €320 median and €309 to €331 for the middle half of the market, €300 lands just under the 25th percentile, so this looks like a solid buy rather than a merely fair one. It is not a screaming bargain, but it is priced attractively enough that a clean, working pair should move quickly.
The C80 is a respected older KEF with proper hi-fi pedigree: neutral enough for serious listening, big on scale, and still interesting if you like classic British monitor-style presentation. At this level the upside is mainly value—if the cabinets, drivers, and crossovers are original and healthy, you’re getting a well-regarded speaker below the recent norm. Because condition is unknown, a quick check of driver surrounds, tweeter output, and any crossover or terminal issues is the only real due diligence worth doing.
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.
