We hebben wederom een mooi set kef reference 101 in onze collectie. Om maar met de deur in huis te vallen; dit is een van de best klinkende sets die we de afgelopen jaren in huis hebben gehad. De 101
Compared with a typical used alternative at this level, €849 lands very close to the market sweet spot for a Kef 101, so this reads as fair rather than a bargain or a stretch. With recent comps centered at €838 and the middle half running from €664 to €876, the asking price is basically right on the going rate.
That makes it appealing for a buyer who wants a compact, well-regarded KEF monitor rather than chasing a cheaper but more uncertain speaker. The 101 has the sort of easy, tidy presentation that still makes sense for a desktop, secondary system, or small-room setup, and a clean example can be worth paying fair money for. At this price, the main thing to confirm is simple completeness and honest condition; if it’s genuinely well kept, it’s a solid buy.
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.
