This innovative model provided quite outstanding performance with an unusually high degree of user convenience. This was achieved by combining many of the tried and tested Reference Series features with a new concept in active low-level equalisation, KUBE (KEF Universal Bass Equaliser). The result was a unique combination bass extension down to a genuine 20Hz, and good sensitivity, from a surprisingly compact system which is sonically flexible enough to be tailored to its specific surroundings.

 

Model 107 combined the separate mid/treble enclosure from the 105/2 with the coupled cavity bass loading technique developed for the 104/2 and established itself as one of the world’s finest loudspeakers. The midrange driver was a new polypropylene-coned B110 allowing higher sensitivity with improved strength and durability. As with the 102 and 103/3 the KUBE was an integral part of this system and essential in obtaining its specified performance.

 

The updates incorporated into the 107/2 included a new aluminium dome tweeter, a revised midrange/tweeter enclosure assembly and refinements to the equalisation applied in the KUBE. The 107/2 was included into the Raymond Cooke Series along with the Reference Series Models LS3/5A and 104/2.
