I purchased my KEF speakers directly from KEF of England and I bought the raw speakers in kit form. The kit included 2 - T27 HF tweeters, 2- B110 Bextrene mid-range drivers, 2- B139 bass drivers and the two crossover units, one set for each speaker all mounted within custom-made walnut veneered cabinets. The speakers are mounted on steel stands with castors. The stands were added later and are very important so as to get the enclosure off of the floor for more natural sounding bass and more directional mid and upper range sounds. The KEF Concerto, as they are called, is a classic 3-way ported speaker system.
