A pair of Kef iQ3 speakers. Excellent speakers in use. One working in need of repair and one requiring repairs. Cosmetically they’re good. There are a few small scuffs and some small wear on one of the removable grills. There are 4 small screw holes in the bottom of each speaker where they were attached to wall brackets (see pictures).
Parts are cheap but I don’t have the practical skills, hence the very low price. All issues listed below:
Working speaker – ostensibly works well and sounds good, I’ve been using it as a close monitor speaker happily. There is some distortion when the bass is driven hard, this is due to the rubber cone support having split. This is apparently not uncommon. A pair of new rubber supports with glue and instructions costs about 15 – 20 from a few suppliers. There are youtube videos explaining how to do it.
Second speaker – as far as I’m aware this has the same issue. A ‘helpful’ person disconnected the crossover thinking that it would be causing the distortion. They proved to be wrong and some research and trial and error revealed it was the rubber surround. When i say disconnected i mean they snipped the two signal cables about 20mm from the circuit board so they’d need to be re-soldered or joined using connecting blocks. There is plenty of slack for that. Then I expect you’ll need to replace the rubber support as above.
For very little money you could have a very nice pair of speakers! Selling as I’ve since replaced them. Always meant to fix them, but have come the conclusion I’m not going to get around to it!
I’ve been as clear as I can about the issues, please let me know if you have any questions.
Collection only due to size and weight I’m afraid. Based in London SE1.
