3-way, 1-speaker, airtight type, bookshelf type units used for all bands : 20 cm coaxial type (20 cm cone + 1.9 Cm dome) frequency characteristic 64 hz to 20 khz ± 3 db 4 ω output sound pressure level
This is a fair-to-good ask, but not a steal: €299 for a like-new pair sits above the older observed used prices around €120–€200, yet still below the sort of inflated “collector” asks that can show up for clean vintage KEF pairs. For a properly functioning, matched pair in genuinely like-new cosmetic condition, it’s reasonable rather than cheap.
The C35 is worth buying because it’s a classic KEF Uni-Q bookshelf with a very open, coherent presentation and strong imaging for the size. If the drivers are original, the foam/rubber surrounds are healthy, and the cabinets are truly clean, that adds real value; I’d especially like it if the seller can confirm original grilles and any matching documentation. At this price, the main thing to verify is sound health, because age-related issues matter more than cosmetics on vintage KEF.
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.
